* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'':
** Averted with Miss Brooks and her LoveInterest Mr. Boynton. There, her main problem is that Mr. Boynton is too shy or awkward to make a move; or sometimes just wary of a relationship that would end in marriage. For example, in "The Wrong Mrs. Boynton", Mr. Boynton all but tells Dean Faraday of State University that he would like to someday propose marriage to Connie Brooks. [[spoiler: Mr. Boynton and Miss Brooks marry at the end of TheMovie GrandFinale]]
** Played straight with DumbJock Stretch Snodgrass and his unrequited love for Harriet Conklin. Harriet just happens to be the girlfriend of his Walter Denton, his best friend. His resultant depression is a problem in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Stretch Has A Problem"]]. Stretch's sitting with Harriet at the movie theater helps set off a fight with a jealous Walter in "Stretch v. Walter Grudge Match". Finally, Stretch's attempt to "worship [Harriet] from afar" by sending her anonymous love letters, sets off the events of "Poetry Mixup".
** [[SoundToScreenAdaptation "Poetry Mixup" was remade for television]] as "Bones, Son of Cyrano". Only instead of Stretch falling for Harriet, [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute it was his brother Bones.]]

* From ''Webcomic/{{Aisopos}}'', we have two examples:

** [[HistoryRepeatsItself Happens again]] with his son, Rikes, who fell in love with a beautiful woman from Samos, but it turned out that she planned to marry someone else…
* In ''Webcomic/AllRosesHaveThorns'', Galvan is in love with Auron, but Auron very obviously still has feelings for Collamair, and Collamair is in love with Faylin, but Faylin was in love with Isleen, but she rejected him. Wow.

* In ''WebComic/SluggyFreelance'' Zoe cycles through this trope pretty darn quickly in [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=980329 this]] strip. Before she'd always rejected Sam's advances, finding him creepy. Then, when he goes missing, she laments how she let her "last hope of true love" slip through her fingers. Then, when Sam turns up alive and well, she's back to thinking he's disgusting. ''And then'', no more thirty seconds later, she finds out Sam's gotten married. Instantly she's calling him her one true love again.
* The gods in ''Webcomic/AMomentOfPeace'' form a love conga line. The god of Trust and Betrayal loves the goddess of Stories, who loves the god of In-Between Places, who loves the goddess of Glory.
* In ''Webcomic/AllRosesHaveThorns'', Galvan is in love with Auron, but Auron very obviously still has feelings for Collamair, and Collamair is in love with Faylin, but Faylin was in love with Isleen, but she rejected him. Wow.
* Davey of ''Webcomic/MaggotBoy'' is hopelessly in love with Sam, which will never go anywhere because he's dead, and she has a huge crush on her boss Lazaro, but ''he'' just hates everyone in general.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Okay. Karkat had a confirmed one-sided crush on Jade, as did Tavros, and she rejected both. Gamzee at one point had a flushed crush on Tavros, and it's unknown how he responded. Vriska also had a ''very'' one-sided crush on Tavros and also had a crush on John that he [[spoiler:seemed to return at first but has since grown out of.]] Kanaya had a one-sided crush on Vriska. Karkat seems to still have feelings for his ex-girlfriend Terezi. Nepeta had a one-sided crush on Karkat, while Eridan was also after Nepeta for a while, as well as [[LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces half the cast]], but most dramatically a red crush on Feferi and a black crush on Sollux. Both Sollux and Equius had things for Aradia which were complicated after she died. [[spoiler:After being [[BackFromTheDead brought back to life]] [[CameBackStrong as a robot,]] Aradia seemed to retain some feelings for Sollux, at least to the point where her last action before [[ItMakesSenseInContext randomly causing herself to explode]] was to hug him, though at that point he was dating Feferi.]] Both WV and AR had things for PM which she never found out about [[spoiler:before AR died and WV was, at the least, gravely injured.]] PM has a black crush on [[spoiler:Bec Noir, who has a red crush on her.]] Finally, all of the Alpha kids have a crush on Jake, plus Roxy also has an unrequited thing for Dirk, while Jake [[spoiler:wouldn't have minded the idea of going out with Jane or Dirk, and tried to date Dirk, but isn't really that interested, and also has a crush on Aranea, who seems to have a pretty similar lukewarm interest in him.]]

When fans support relationships that involve unrequited love, you're looking at {{Starboarding}}. This may be resolved -- or, alternately, made even more awkward -- if the unrequited [[DidYouThinkICantFeel makes their feelings known]]. If all the unrequited love is directed at the ''same'' character, they just might be a MarySue. The IgnoredEnamoredUnderling may be working under someone ObliviousToLove. Any [[TriangRelations type 2 or type 5]] LoveTriangle falls into this category.

When fans support relationships that involve unrequited love, you're looking at {{Starboarding}}. This may be resolved -- or, alternately, made even more awkward -- if the unrequited [[DidYouThinkICantFeel makes their feelings known]]. If all the unrequited love is directed at the ''same'' character, they just might be a MarySue. The IgnoredEnamoredUnderling may be working under someone ObliviousToLove. Any [[TriangRelations type 2 or type 5]] LoveTriangle falls into this category.

Another form of using this trope often happens in video games, especially towards the protagonist, especially if female. While some games (particularly those with customizable main characters, which can be made a player's "avatar") allow the player to decide whether someone's love is to be unrequited, many players prefer to keep the potential love interest away to connect with the character ''themselves''. The more the character is intended as MrFanservice or MsFanservice, the more likely this outcome will be.

* In the [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers Hetalia]] fanfic, ''[[https://fanfiction.net/s/7743358 Love is a Disease]]'', Matthew, a [[ArmouredClosetGay closeted gay teen]], accidentally confesses his feelings towards his heterosexual crush Alfred, who reveals this to his friend Gilbert, who (unbeknownst to either Alfred or Matthew) [[spoiler:has a [[LovingBully crush]] on Matthew]], and uses this information to blackmail and eventually [[ForcedOutOfTheCloset out]] Matthew to their classmates. The homophobic bullying Matthew faces forces him to change schools, where Matthew is more determined than ever to stay closeted, and gets an unknowing [[TheBeard beard]] in the form of Lilli, who (much to Matthew’s guilt) genuinely likes him. Matthew quickly starts developing feelings for his new friend Ivan [[spoiler:who returns those feelings]], which is complicated by both Matthew’s attempt to stay in the closet, as well as [[spoiler:Gilbert]] escalating [[spoiler:his]] behavior to StalkerWithACrush and AttemptedRape before finally admitting [[spoiler:his feelings]] after a confrontation with Matthew.
