In Mass Effect I tried to get as far as I could in dialogues with characters, even though I was trying to remain neutral as to not get involved with anyone so I could remain loyal to Tali in Mass Effect 2, despite my best efforts to remain neutral but view as much dialogue Ashley came up but I had to blow her off.
Now playing Mass Effect 2 and I'm beginning to worry that my interactions with Kelly may be setting on the path to romance her while when I get Jack I want to be friendly with her however my target is Tali.
I am wondering, in Mass Effect 2 is there a way to control the relationships without having to just flat out ignore characters (so I still get the chance to explore their dialogue), like a particular conversation response that'll lock me with them or something? I'm on the Paragon path.

From the Mass Effect 2 Wikia Romance page:
I've only tried to romance Miranda (and apparently after trying that I was locked-in no matter what), but I did also get the Jack dialog.
For more information (about Kelly and Samara/Morinth), you should check out the romance page for yourself. There's a bit about loyalties on there as well.
