I can understand the lack of desire to play a race for its popularity, but it's popular for a variety of reasons that shouldn't be grounds to turn away from on account of being part of the mainstream. All races have their own lore which can make them on par with filthy tribal monkeys, yet all races have people who dabble in advanced magic and technology, so anything goes for an alchemist or machinist.
I would say to go miqo'te, since that's the one you're comfortable with at first glance, and you're less inclined to gain an attachment to them if you choose another.
As for the lalafell relationship problem..yeah, I don't even have a solution to that, even if my char did ICly date a lala dude player before. It's sort've a..needle in a haystack situation.
