I've manage to avoid Miranda romance now she replies with the neutral response of shes got work to do and avoiding going on the left of Kellys' speech options. I like talking to the crew(and getting those paragon points) but now after her loyalty mission she asked if I have feelings for her. How do I tell her no without her getting frustrated and telling you not to talk to her anymore, or becoming disappointed and not wanting you to come around for awhile? The same goes for tali, how do I go about paragon choices without romancing tali accidentally? Doing the shadow broker and not having a romance situation with liara I've heard about?

From the Mass Effect 2 Wikia Romance page:
For a male Shepard, a love interest is "locked in" once you express interest at the following dialogue points:
Jack: "I want to talk about us." At the point where she says "I'm not interested in some dumbshit love affair. It never goes right." To prevent locking-in, say "Never mind".
Tali: "I want to talk about you." At the point where she beckons you toward the drive core and says "I've been thinking about the last time we talked." To prevent locking-in, say "So you're not
interested?" followed by "I need to think about this."Miranda: "Can we talk?" At the point where she says "I don't know what this is, if it's just stress, or blowing off steam, or..." you
cannot opt out; every option results in either becoming locked-in, or the relationship being broken off permanently. It is recommended that the player save before talking to Miranda.At this point you know that Shepard has successfully 'locked in' that romance. Shepard can still express an interest in other crew members. However, the new love interest will 'challenge' Shepard's love-triangle and force Shepard to dump the 'locked-in' option in order to be with them.
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.
You can choose not to romance anyone. That keeps things super-simple.
If, however, you'd like your Shep to get some play, you can totally romance Liara in 1 and then Tali in 2 and 3. Liara might be a little sad about it, but she's not going to hate you or anything as a result. I'm not sure if Tali says anything about Liara in 2, since I've never gone down that road, but given how other romances go about it I'd say Tali will ask you about Liara, and you are given the option of backing out or saying "nope, it's all you".
Basically, you won't be penalized if you start with Liara in 1 and go with Tali in 2 and 3. Liara's not going to be a pain and keep info from you or whatever over it. At most, there might be a snarky comment or two, but that'd be about it.
Best Answer
You really have to be quite deliberate in order to romance someone. Even if you lead someone on, you're not going to break their heart when the obvious "let's have sex" conversation pops up and you say no; people in the Mass Effect universe take rejection surprisingly well. Chalk it up to a "(S)He's just trying to save the galaxy, and doesn't have time for romance" mentality your crew seems to have.
What you experienced was the end of the dialog tree prior to her loyalty mission. More options become available as the story progresses. It shouldn't be taken to mean that you've pissed them off (although with Miranda in particular, it sure comes off that way).
In the end, paragon and renegade options typically only add a little to romance options. It shouldn't be something to be worried about.
