Romancing Tali did not work. Need clarification if anyone can help out.

Max Paragon here. I did romance Liara in the first game, I have done every mission and quest before entering the Omega 4 relay. I got her royalty and saved her father's respect.

I got her to say the "feel [his] skin against [hers]." part which I presume from the Wiki locks her in as the romance option. But again after doing everything before the omega 4 relay mission my shepard just looks at a picture of Liara instead...

What did I do wrong and how can i fix it? Thanks.

You have to trigger the Omega 4 relay mission to make the magic happen.

I did but apparently I killed it off with her by accident... 1 dialogue. I told her "No it was too dangerous".

Now replaying the game I see Liara's picture is down. oh well lol.

You actually don't need the third romance conversation with Tali to lock-in. You also can wait until after Omega 4 to start a romance and get the cutscene.

1st: The second time you speak to her after her loyalty mission (the first time was reflection on the mission, this one is her discussion of suited life), includes your confession of feelings/interest after she does. .

2nd: Starts with "I'm sorry/selfish." Either of the two options that go with "yes I want this" will lock in.

You can stop here, starting Omega 4 here is enough. If you already completed the SM before 2nd romance conversation, the cutscene will play after the 2nd convo finishes.

3rd (2 variants, one before Omega 4 and one after with less dialogue): The one you mentioned. It's a last-minute chance to back out while still being able to pursue other romances prior to the Suicide Mission. This conversation is looped and will occur every time you talk to her after completing SM besides the first time, or every time you talk to her after the "2nd" convo listed above.
