Specifically, in this novel, one can both honest and open, and win the heart of a brunette through banter. The main thing is that Shepard is always on Miranda's side.

After such big words, you need to choose the dialogue option “I trust you too” and say that the quarian is really interested in the protagonist. This will start a romantic relationship with Tali.
