* Where does one begin with ComicBook/SpiderMan? From boyhood he seems to have the amazing ability to make extremely pretty girls fall in love with him only to be completely oblivious to it half time and have his [[TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife secret ID]] ruin it for him anyways once he finally manages to figure it out.

* Emiya Shirou from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' is one dense lady-magnet. By the time ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'' rolls around, he has [[LadyOfWar Saber]], [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]], [[ShrinkingViolet Sakura]], Rider, [[SugarAndIcePersonality Caren]], [[TokenMiniMoe Illya]], [[HoYay Issei]], the entirety of the Archery Club, the 3 gossip girls from the school and arguably even [[CloudcuckooLander Taiga]] and [[{{Bifauxnen}} Bazett]]. Despite finding many of these girls attractive, it rarely occurs to him that any might feel the same way about him, such that Rin and Sakura have an especially hard time getting him to notice their feelings in their respective routes.

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Asuka liked Shinji, Rei cared for Shinji, and all of his female classmates had a huge crush on Shinji... and Shinji was completely clueless about it. He never ever noticed. It changed over the story, though. He accidentally got a hint Asuka was throwing herself at him and they got together... which eventually led to Rei spending more time with them AND all of their classmates deciding to chase him actively, much to his surprise and disbelief.
* The grown-up and ponified Godzilla Jr. seems to be flirting with this trope in once he ended up in Equestria during the crossover story ''Fanfic/TheBridge''. In his new unicorn form, he's no Prince Blueblood but has a degree of TallDarkAndHandsome to him by some mares' standards. Despite his GentleGiant persona, he's lived his life so far without even giving romance a thought. When a guard named Blade Dancer starts flirting with him, he has no idea what she is doing and is somewhat creeped out. This is taken to its logical conclusion when Godzilla Junior gets plopped into the middle of the [[LadyLand Mermare capital]], where he is the only male for miles. Naturally, just about every mermare (with the exception of [[StraightGay his escort]]) wants a piece of him and aren't afraid to let him know. [[UpToEleven Even the queen of the mermares is interested!]] However, given this is [[OblivioustoLove Godzilla]], he doesn't understand their strange behavior around him and [[HilarityEnsues unintentionally manages to cause much accidental humor in the process]]. Somewhat [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] however, in that he's gotten better at understanding the idea of romance, he's just still not very good at picking up romantically oriented cues. Also, the queen is at least aware of his interest in another and doesn't want to interfere, although she's not against trying to woo him if his interest changes...
* Between books 1 and 2 of the ''Fanfic/BrokenBow'' series, Armani Dove attracts the attention of several wood nymphs due to his connection with Artemis.
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'': Shinji is a really thick and oblivious chick magnet. In a scene, he's watching Rei trying to talk Asuka into sharing him... and he thinks that they can't possibly want a threesome with him.
-->'''Asuka:''' And I'm not sharing my boyfriend with you!\\
'''Touji:''' Damn, Shinji, a lot of guys would kill for a deal like that,\\
'''Shinji:''' I'm sure they weren't actually talking about sharing me.\\
'''Rei:''' We were.
* ''Fanfic/LeCommencementDuDiableBlanc'' revolves around the formative years of [[PrettyBoy Gambit]] whose smile is already a weapon of mass seduction. Unfortunately for his young admirers, his eleven-year-old self is firmly stuck in the GirlsHaveCooties mindset and females swooning and blushing in front of him comforts him in the assumption that the fair sex is inherently crazy.
* ''Fanfic/FateBlackDawn'': While Shirou is finally aware that he tends to attract women in the ''general'' sense, he is still absolutely terrible about recognizing when it is actually happening. Morgan comes within a heartbeat of dragging him into her bed (hell, when he was first summoned he found herself in her bed), and he never notices until she just flat-out ''does'' it. Even then, it takes him a while to realize she is falling in love with him rather than just using him.
* Clueless ''Dude'' Magnet example in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]''. Italy has ''no'' idea that Germany, Japan, and Prussia are attracted to him. Or so it seems...
* ''Fanfic/HeroAcademiaDXD'': Izuku (much to his astonishment) is attracting pretty girls like honey attracts flies. As of Chapter 19, no less than ten girls have clear crushes (or more) on him, and he's bound to get even more attention as time passes. Ddraig tells him it's because he's more attractive than other males due to both the Boosted Gear and being part dragon.
* Izuku Midoriya is this in ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia''. Due to spending the [[FriendlessBackground last thirteen years of his life]] as [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer a laughingstock among his peers]] for wanting to become a Huntsman despite being a [[UnSorcerer Moon]] [[DreamCrushingHandicap Child]], he's become thoroughly convinced that no girl on Remnant would ever want to date him. Because of this, he's utterly oblivious to the fact that his warm and understanding personality is winning him the affections of the ''many'' gorgeous girls around him, including Weiss, Pyrrha, Yang, and Blake. In the latter case, he even encourages Blake to ask out [[IHaveThisFriend a guy]] she describes as "good", "kind and just", and "a stand up person", assuring her that this guy would definitely say yes if a pretty girl like her asked him out on a date. Meanwhile, Blake is wondering if the gods are trying to make her die of embarrassment with his cluelessness. His belief is further reinforced by the fact that he's considered "plain-looking" compared this more typically {{Bishonen}} peers like Ren and Shouto. [[HollywoodHomely This is in spite]] of the fact that Izuku is [[HeroicBuild lean and muscular with six-pack abs]] that happen [[DistractedByTheSexy to be mesmerizing]] for his [[EatingTheEyeCandy female friends to look at.]]
* Shinji in ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'' doesn't get that he is amongst the popular boys of his class because he has quite the "cute factor" with the girls, being TallDarkAndHandsome as well as having InnocentBlueEyes. His old subconscious belief that everyone hates him still makes him paranoid.
* ''Fanfic/TheOneILoveIs'': Shinji drew women wherever he went... and he had absolutely no idea about it. He was genuinely shocked and surprised when Rei gave him chocolates and when Hikari told him that Asuka was in love with him because he was completely oblivious to their feelings and to the hints Asuka constantly dropped.
* A side story of ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' establishes that even when he was a kid, Ash was very popular with girls, but never noticed their affection. In the present time, he still remains this way to a degree, since he's unaware that his female companions all harbor a degree of attraction towards him. However, after the Sabrina arc, this is no longer in effect with Ash no longer being clueless and expressing interest.
* [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Roxas]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13425922/13/A-Song-of-Fire-Ice-and-Hearts A Song of Fire, Ice, and Hearts]]'' fails to understand that his good looks and heroic behavior have made him very attractive in the eyes of almost any woman ([[EvenTheGuysWantHim and some men]]) he meets, chief among these admirers being [[Series/GameOfThrones Sansa Stark and Myrcella Baratheon]].
* A running gag in ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/246808/sunny-moonie-twily Sunny, Moonie, Twily]]'' is the existence of a support group for stallions [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer and mares]] unwittingly rejected by Twilight Sparkle. Apparently, she takes all flirting literally, and nobody has ever successfully managed to ask her out before she mistakenly assumes they're there for her LovableSexManiac roommate. The one pony that ''was'' going to ask her directly was preemptively recruited into the group on the assumption that he ''would'' have been rejected, much to his frustration. And then it turns out there's ''another'' group for those unwittingly rejected by Sunset Shimmer...
* ''Fanfic/WhiteSheepRWBY'':
** Due to his earnest nature and habit of giving girls honest compliments on their looks, Jaune gets a lot of girls interested in him. He never notices them, partly because he grew up without any girls around but his sisters, who gave him a rather skewed definition of normal. Ruby, Velvet, Pyrrha, Blake (sort of), Emerald (a little), and Neo (a lot) all end up with crushes on him that he remains completely oblivious to. Ironically, he [[MistakenForRomance mistakenly believes that Yang is interested in him]] due to taking her promise of "it's a date!" [[LiteralMinded literally]]. His behavior on these "dates" is so charming that she ends up falling for him despite her best efforts.
--->Yang's brow twitched, and she vaguely remembered Summer once warning her about boys who made her heart race without meaning to. Those were the ones you needed to watch out for, or so Summer had said. They were dangerous, and could make you think dangerous things without meaning to.
** Ren not only has Nora (his ChildhoodFriend who CannotSpitItOut) crushing on him, but also ''slightly'' Blake, definitely Jaune's sister Lavender, and even High Leader Sienna Khan of the White Fang. At the end of the story, Jaune comments that he's glad he's not in Ren's situation, with multiple girls chasing after him. [[DopeSlap Weiss smacks him upside the head]].

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'': Walter. He's a dark-haired, dreamy-eyed poet and really has no idea the girls want him.
** Anne is a rare gender-flipped example. Due to some self-esteem issues (at least half of which revolve around her loathed red hair) and an obsession with romance novels, Anne is completely oblivious to the feelings of her male peers. [[UnwantedHarem By her late teens, she is fending off marriage proposals left and right--much to her surprise.]]
** Gil himself is a ChickMagnet, but unlike Anne, he is well aware of it.
* ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'': Jerin has no idea how many women are attracted to him. Part of this may be due to his very protective sisters - presumably, women don't get to do more than gaze longingly at him. When he is old enough to get married and his sisters decide they can demand a brother's price (like a bride price, but for a bridegroom) of double the usual sum, he is very insecure about it and thinks they're overestimating his attractiveness.
* [[TheHero Derek]] of the web-novel ''Literature/{{Domina}}'' is continually blind to everyone's affections for him. Once, when two girls are having a heated argument over who gets his FirstKiss, he thinks they're screwing with him.
* Ishmael from ''Literature/DontCallMeIshmael''. He doesn't think he's popular with girls, but by the end of the series, quite a few girls have shown interest in him. He usually doesn't initiate contact with anyone, instead, some girls make moves on him.
* ''Literature/TheElenium'':
** Berit is capable of attracting a harem wherever he goes, with no clue about what he's doing. When visiting Matherion the [[ProudWarriorRace Atan]] girls fall over themselves trying to get him alone for a "sparring session". He responds by [[WhatAnIdiot setting up a lesson program.]] In the end, Sparhawk offers that he should talk to the lad before he sparks a diplomatic incident, only to be shouted down by every woman in hearing range. Apparently, the innocent cluelessness is part of his charm.
** Subverted by Bevier, who is well aware that pretty much every woman he walks past is making moony-eyes at him, but since he is angling at priesthood and fully occupied with his duties, he refuses to act on it.
* Harry has a bit of this in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince''. He's confused by how popular the Gryffindor Quidditch team has gotten, and Hermione has to exasperatedly point out that people are only signing up because he's the captain and has become much more popular and attractive since the events of [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix the last book]].
-->'''Hermione:''' You've never been more popular or, frankly, fanciable.
* Darryl, the protagonist of ''Literature/HeartInHand''. When an attractive woman at a nightclub mentions that she's cold, talks about "wanting something to warm me up" and spills a drink over her top, his only reaction is to give his sweatshirt to her[[note]]yes, he wore a sweatshirt to a nightclub[[/note]].
* Beau in ''Literature/LifeAndDeathTwilightReimagined'' has no idea that he has a lot of success with the girls at school from day one, not even when other boys start hanging around him just to get a share of his attention. Edythe later claims he has gathered [[AllWomenAreLustful ten admirers]].
* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'':
** Percy is completely oblivious to any girl showing interest in him. Any time things actually get moving, it's because the girls themselves have instigated it out of pure frustration. [[spoiler: Both Annabeth and Rachel kiss him first and Calypso has to borderline propose]]. Let's just say Annabeth's nickname Seaweed Brain is well-earned sometimes.
** In the SequelSeries ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'', he's improved enough to awkwardly [[spoiler: refuse Reyna's advances, (as he and Annabeth have finally got together), but upgrades to a clueless guy magnet concerning Nico's feelings.]]
** He's never described as particularly attractive in the first series, but that's probably because it's told first-person from his own perspective. When other characters describe him in the sequel series, it's nearly always with a degree of approval.
* In the first chapter of ''Literature/ThePrincessBride'', Buttercup doesn't understand why other girls have stopped talking to her until they tell her that it's because she's been drawing the attention of every boy in town away from them. She ''had'' noticed them trying to spend time with her, but hadn't thought of it as anything more than them being annoying.
* ''A Princess of Mars'':
** Literature/JohnCarterOfMars just could not get it through his Heroic Skull that the most beautiful woman of two worlds was head over heels for him. She had to beat him over the head with an "I love you" stick.
** John Carter frankly admits he doesn't understand women but he does become clued in enough to recognize when other women fall in love with him -- as they do with monotonous regularity to his considerable embarrassment. He develops an interesting strategy for dealing with the problem; he takes the girls home to Dejah Thoris. She apparently befriends them and sees to it they meet lots of attractive and available men until they find one that makes them forget John Carter.
* ''Literature/TheSharingKnife'':
-->'''Dag:''' Among Lakewalkers, a woman invites a man back to her tent... \\
'''Fawn:''' Among farmers, the boy asks the girl... \\
'''Dag:''' Really... How much time do you think we've wasted here, Spark?
* ''LightNovel/UndefeatedBahamutChronicle'' has Lux Arcadia, who has yet to realize the attention of the more than a dozen girls interested in him. This is despite several of them explicitly confessing their love and kissing him, in some cases ''more than once''. His little sister Airi suggests that it's because he has too much emotional baggage and subconsciously rejects the idea of others being interested in him. [[spoiler:This ends once the main conflict is (seemingly) over, with Lux acknowledging their attention.]]
* Miles Vorkosigan from the ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'' is a ''lot'' more attractive to women (and one hermaphrodite[[note]]Who is explicitly said to be falling for him shortly after they first meet.[[/note]]), for all his bodily deformities, then he even begins to realize -- though his cousin Ivan surely does. He later begins griping that while he can find women to ''love'', none of them will ''marry'' him. And most of the women who fell for him did so without any real effort on his part. [[spoiler:Both times he does try, it doesn't go well. Elena married another man, and Ekaterin nearly kicked him out of her life entirely, since he did it dishonestly.]]
* Firestar from ''Literature/WarriorCats'' didn't know Sandstorm and Cinderpelt were in love with him until the latter tells him about the former. As Erin Hunter jokingly said: "Stupid man cat!"
[[/folder]]



[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'': The Prince/Euden is completely unaware of the many, many women who end up falling for him. Mym and Elisanne are the two main characters that are in love with him, among the side characters, [[{{Tsundere}} Estelle]] and [[LadykillerInLove Malora]]. He even gets [[EvenTheGuysWantHim a male adventurer to fall for him]] in Orion, who would only bodyguard women due to falling in love with whoever he protects, but eventually admits that Euden has a charm that he doesn't understand and says [[IfItsYouItsOkay he is the only man he'd want to protect]].
* Adonis of ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' thinks of himself as scary-looking and intimidating, and is generally very humble about himself, but he's incredibly kind, hard-working, and honest, making him unknowingly very charming. A common scene has [[ChivalrousPervert Kaoru]] wanting to flirt with girls, only to see them all crowded around an oblivious Adonis. In one instantly famous scene, Adonis tells the player character that he wants to help her whenever possible because he loves her (using 'aishiteru', a very strong way to say 'I love you' in Japanese). When Anzu is immediately very flustered, he reacts with confusion - after all, he sings lyrics like that all the time on stage, so why would it be different in person?
* [[TheHero Cloud Strife]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', over the course of the game, earns the affections of [[GirlNextDoor Tifa]], [[MysteriousWaif Aerith]], [[PluckyGirl Yuffie]], [[MauveShirt Jessie]] and [[PrecociousCrush Priscilla]]. He never clues in that it's ''possible'' that he may very well be a hit with the ladies.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'':
** Kaze, according to his support conversations. Several of them feature him getting saddled with gifts from random women, and he's ''completely baffled'' each time. Corrin even hangs a bit of a lampshade on it in their supports.
** [[HypocriticalHumor That's rather funny, given that]] Corrin himself is one! His best friend Azura, his maid Felicia, Hinoka, Sakura, Camilla, ''and'' Rhajat are all either suggested to or outright stated to have felt some sort of attraction to him before the possible RelationshipUpgrade. Sure, the first four don't really make any moves, but Camilla and Rhajat are ''very'' obvious about their interest in him.
* Katalina of ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy''. Despite attracting several admirers of ''both genders'' ([[{{Yandere}} Vira]], Lowain, and Farrah to name a few), she's totally unaware of it.
* ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'''s Alexander is a gentlemanly TallDarkAndHandsome PrinceCharming, who is often described as good-looking or even [[PrettyBoy beautiful]], and frequently has women (even non-human ones) gushing over/flirting with him. But he reacts to the attention with genuine embarrassment, bewilderment, and/or self-depreciation, as while he recognizes their interest he doesn't understand ''why'', as he doesn't think he's anything special. ''And'' when he falls in love himself, he worries incessantly that the girl won't find him attractive/appealing.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** When Link isn't depicted as a flat-out ChasteHero, he's sometimes depicted as being receptive of female attention but unable to detect any sort of romantic element in it (even though said element is painfully obvious to the player).
** Justified in the case of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' Link, since he's a kid. A kid who grew up with no adults around ''at all''. No parents, no nothing. Taken a little further in the manga version, where Ruto outright proposes to him and he doesn't know what 'engagement' means. And he never really got the chance to learn about romance when he got older, given that he was in stasis.
** So far, the only real subversion is the Link of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'' who, while still a HeroicMime, seems to have a much closer and personal relationship with Zelda than any other Link has had with any girl. Rescuing Zelda is his main goal rather than just saving the world.
* ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'': Jaal manages to combine this with just being a regular ChickMagnet. A background conversation on Aya has another angara complaining how he didn't notice her attempts to flirt with him... which is pretty impressive given the angara are all about honesty.
* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'', resident scholar Cyrus has been noted to be a very handsome teacher who has charmed many female students. Unfortunately for every girl concerned, Cyrus only ever cares about his teachings but has absolutely no idea about their infatuation for him, and it only gets worse when he freely describes women as gorgeous and beautiful...as ''facts'', not ''compliments''. This trait of his leads to the headmaster [[spoiler:banning him from teaching because one of his infatuated students spread a rumor that he was romantically involved with the princess of the kingdom]]. Throughout his story, this becomes a point of hilarity to the player and anyone else who knows about his infamous reputation as a lady charmer. ''Even'' the [[spoiler:BigBad was subtly flirting with him but grew sick of the long speech of his ideals to share knowledge to the world instead of keeping it all for themselves]].
* Mario in ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor''. There's the obligatory [[OfficialCouple implied romance with Princess Peach]], but beyond that, every single one of his female party members develops a romantic interest in him. Random female [=NPCs=] will also flirt with him in their dialogue and even one of the baddies admits she finds him handsome. That said, he seems genuinely shocked when Flurrie and especially when Ms. Mowz flirt openly with him.
* ''VideoGame/Persona2'':
** Tatsuya Suou. The boy is absolutely ''oblivious'' to the affections of his childhood friend Lisa Silverman -- who he sees more as a ClingyJealousGirl. His cop brother's Katsuya not exempt from this, either. This even while they are both head-over-heels with [[CoolBigSis Maya]] [[IntrepidReporter Amano]].
** How dense is Katsuya? One time, on Valentine's Day, a female cop gave him some chocolate. In his capacity as an amateur chef, he spent a while telling her everything that was wrong with the chocolate, from texture to flavor and asking why he was getting it since it isn't his birthday.
* ''VideoGame/{{Shenmue}}'': Ryo Hazuki blows all other competition out of the water in this regard. He could practically receive a concussion from all the girls beating him over the head with their attraction to him, and he just. Doesn't. Get it. Supplemental materials explain that Ryo is both [[YouKilledMyFather preoccupied with getting revenge]] and [[CelibateHero deliberately averse to female attention]] because of a rough experience in his childhood, but this doesn't come across that well in either dub, making it look like it all simply goes in one ear and out the other.
* Both [[VideoGame/ZeroNoKiseki Lloyd Bannings]] and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Rean Schwarzer]] in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' have a number of women who would throw themselves at them in their respective arcs. Despite all that, however, the two protagonists don't see it themselves. Just to drive home the point, Rean currently has 12 girls who are romantically interested in him. Millium is the only main female party member who ISN'T an option, but she was one in the first games.
* Hyde Kido of ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'' has a ton of different cute girls in his life, and he is completely useless with all of them. In fact, his interactions with women tend to be played for comedy more than anything. He keeps Linne and Vatista as PrettyFreeloaders in his house, doesn't realise Orie has a ''really'' strong crush on him, doesn't realise his old childhood friend Yuzuriha doesn't actually hate him as he believes, and he's the only person in the game who gets duped by Hilda's FemmeFatale act by virtue of being a horny teenager.\\\
This comes up again in his depiction in ''VideoGame/BlazblueCrossTagBattle'', where most of his unfortunate moments come from dealing with the female characters of the cast. He gets dragged into a fight against Chie and Yosuke by Ruby, he rescues [[IceQueen Weiss]] when she's being attacked by Azrael and Carmine only to get snarked at for his trouble, then he gets ambushed by Blake and Makoto and Gordeau has to bail him out, then he meets Yukiko and has to fight Noel and Platinum and has to eat [[LethalChef Noel's lethal curry]] if he loses. Poor guy.
* Aoife in ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles4'' is a {{Gender Inverted|Trope}} example. She's so beautiful and sweet, with a habit of paying well-intentioned compliments to the men in her unit, that she has a huge throng of admirers who think they have a chance with her... and she is ''completely'' unaware of it. Her Squad Story is all about one of her squadmates trying to work up the nerve to confess his feelings, only to find out that she already has a fiancee, and all of the things that others mistook for affection were simply because she is very nice. One of her female squadmates ends up astonished by how much of an 'unintentional seductress' she is.
* The titular character in ''VideoGame/{{Wadanohara}}'' is oblivious that she is being crushed on [[{{Tsundere}} Samekichi]], [[TheStoic Fukami]], and [[spoiler:[[{{Yandere}} Sal]]]] for most of the game, and ultimately ends up with [[spoiler:Samekichi]] in the GoldenEnding after she gets the hint.
* Since ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'' will be a 10-week long game with a new rival each week, this means that Senpai has, completely by accident, managed to attract the attention of 11 different girls. And WordOfGod is that {{Removing The Rival}}s by setting them up with other students will have him come to believe he's ''just not attractive''.
[[/folder]]



[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''Webcomic/DrFrost'': Frost is somehow unaware of Yoon's crush on him, Song's past feelings for him, and Seol's flirtations.
* Elliot from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' had gained the affection of several girls all without him realizing it. Ellen has [[http://egscomics.com/comic/04-07-2014 this to say]] about her brother:
-->'''Ellen:''' I'm betting the day Elliot actually ''tries'' to attract women [[JustForFun/RulesOfAnime will be the day that they collectively lose interest in him]].
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
** Moloch possibly has some excuse in that he wasn't this trope before he TookALevelInBadass as Agatha's head minion, and indeed had a hopeless crush on one of the three women now interested in him, but he still misses some obvious clues. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120730 From his own words]], he never got the chance to be around attractive ladies before. His childhood was on a farm, soldiering in adulthood, and then being a prisoner shipped off to an insane sentient castle, where he's got neither the experience or the time to think about romance.
** Oggie [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200415 never figured out]] why the woman who [[spoiler:eventually became his wife]] chose to share his tent.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** John Egbert gets hit with this. At various points, he's macked on by Karkat, Vriska, Roxy, and Terezi, and ''VisualNovel/{{Pesterquest}}'' implies [[spoiler:Dave had a crush on him too]]. However, he's [[ChasteHero completely clueless about romance and sex]], and fails to recognize these crushes until explicitly spelled out for him.
** John's biological father Jake English is one of these too, as ''all three'' of the other Alpha Kids have crushes on him of varying strengths. It's hinted, however, that he may be subconsciously aware of their crushes and willfully ignoring them in order to pretend everything's fine.
* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'':
** Gary, one of the protagonists, is completely clueless about the effects that he increasingly has on women as the comic continues. This is nominally justified by his unhappy and repressive religious upbringing, but mostly it's just because he's an oblivious (but endearing) geek who gains a peculiar but justified reputation as an oral sex master. The whole thing was maybe turned UpToEleven when a rather scary {{dominatrix}} provisionally identified him as "the perfect sub".
** The writers clearly like this character gag. In {{spinoff}} comic ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'', we get swimming instructor Andy, who never notices how much attention he's getting from women (and some men) until he becomes boyfriend to TheIngenue Ruby...
** ... In the second {{spinoff}} ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'', there's virginal teenager Alex, who fails to notice the interest shown by his childhood friend Marie, doesn't know that he's being targeted for a threesome by Marie's friend Ingrid, is just confused when trainee model Sandra keeps ending up naked in his presence for good plot reasons, and has his brain scrambled by the seduction attempts of Eloise, another model.
* Elan of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. He has an 18 in Charisma (the highest you can naturally get), but, due to his happy-go-lucky, childlike nature, he doesn't notice Haley's crush on him (even Belkar, with a notoriously bad Spot skill, notices). This is taken to extremes when Haley receives ''actual brain damage'' in keeping the secret from him (damage that is reversible); the damage causes her to spend an entire book (roughly 200 strips) speaking in a code requiring letter replacement to decipher (the code changes with different strips) -- which no-one does.
* David from ''Webcomic/OwMySanity'' is a variation of this. He is ''completely'' unfamiliar with the dating scene and implied to have zero experience in this field. Yet, wherever he goes, he attracts romantic attention -- just never from human women. First, he gains the interest of an EldritchAbomination who takes the form of a pretty, Arabic woman after ''eating all David's flatmates''... it goes downhill from there.
* Vinnie, the werewolf from ''Webcomic/{{Skins}}''. [[http://lj-phillips.deviantart.com/art/Under-My-Skin-3-And-The-Madness-Continues-372455850 Rabbit's extremely hot sister is clearly still in love with him]] (even throwing herself onto him and kissing him passionately when they meet for the first time in years) but he dismisses it as her simply being happy to see him alive.

A character who is his own worst enemy when it comes to love. In fact, he's pretty much his only enemy in this arena. Wherever they go, it seems that for some reason they attract some romantic attention, in theory, there is no reason why they couldn't go on to be TheCasanova with a new person every night. The only problem is they are so unfamiliar with the dating scene they don't realize the girl who is hovering around him, batting her eyes, trying every excuse to make physical contact with them and suggesting they go back to her place qualifies as flirting and not simply being friendly.

* The grown up and ponified Godzilla Jr. seems to be flirting with this trope in once he ended up in Equestria during the crossover story ''Fanfic/TheBridge''. In his new unicorn form, he's no Prince Blueblood but has a degree of TallDarkAndHandsome to him by some mares' standards. Despite his GentleGiant persona, he's lived his life so far without even giving romance a thought. When a guard named Blade Dancer starts flirting with him, he has no idea what she is doing and is somewhat creeped out.
** This is taken to its logical conclusion when Godzilla Junior gets plopped into the middle of the [[LadyLand Mermare capital]], where he is the only male for miles. Naturally, just about every mermare (with the exception of [[StraightGay his escort]]) wants a piece of him and aren't afraid to let him know. [[UpToEleven Even the queen of the mermares is interested!]] However, given this is [[OblivioustoLove Godzilla]], he doesn't understand their strange behavior around him and [[HilarityEnsues unintentionally manages to cause much accidental humor in the process]]. Somewhat [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] however, in that he's gotten better at understanding the idea of romance, he's just still not very good at picking up romantically oriented cues. Also, the queen is at least aware of his interest in another and doesn't want to interfere, although she's not against trying to woo him if his interest changes...

* Adonis of ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' thinks of himself as scary-looking and intimidating, and is generally very humble about himself, but he's incredibly kind, hard-working, and honest, making him unknowingly very charming. A common scene has [[ChivalrousPervert Kaoru]] wanting to flirt with girls, only to see them all crowded around an oblivious Adonis. In one instantly famous scene, Adonis tells the player character that he wants to help her whenever possible because he loves her (using 'aishiteru', a very strong way to say 'I love you' in Japanese). When Anzu is immediately very flustered, he reacts with confusion - after all, he sings lyrics like that all the time on stage, so why would it be different in person?



* Kaze from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', according to his support conversations. Several of them feature him getting saddled with gifts from random women, and he's ''completely baffled'' each time. Corrin even hangs a bit of a lampshade on it in their supports.

In fact, his interactions with women tend to be played for comedy more than anything. He keeps Linne and Vatista as PrettyFreeloaders in his house, doesn't realise Orie has a ''really'' strong crush on him, doesn't realise his old childhood friend Yuzuriha doesn't actually hate him as he believes, and he's the only person in the game who gets duped by Hilda's FemmeFatale act by virtue of being a horny teenager.
** This comes up again in his depiction in ''VideoGame/BlazblueCrossTagBattle'', where most of his unfortunate moments come from dealing with the female characters of the cast. He gets dragged into a fight against Chie and Yosuke by Ruby, he rescues [[IceQueen Weiss]] when she's being attacked by Azrael and Carmine only to get snarked at for his trouble, then he gets ambushed by Blake and Makoto and Gordeau has to bail him out, then he meets Yukiko and has to fight Noel and Platinum and has to eat [[LethalChef Noel's lethal curry]] if he loses.

It stars a warrior sent to the (female and [[EvilIsSexy sexy]]) demon lord as a sexual offering by his Order. The problem is, he is an IdiotHero who somehow is highly charismatic and also able to make a demoness gain an instant crush on him just by ''holding her hand''. He simply doesn't understand the concept of sex, [[ChasteHero completely oblivious to any lewd things going on around him]], and the as of yet unnamed Demon Lord speculates that the Order he serves specifically sent him ''deliberately'' just to make her life miserable. Her mother explains to her that there are those who are so incomprehensibly ''stupid'' that even the most powerful romantic/sexual charms (both normal and magical) have absolutely no effect on them.

He simply doesn't understand the concept of sex, [[ChasteHero completely oblivious to any lewd things going on around him]], and the as of yet unnamed Demon Lord speculates that the Order he serves specifically sent him ''deliberately'' just to make her life miserable. Her mother explains to her that there are those who are so incomprohensively ''stupid'' that even the most powerful romantic/sexual charms (both normal and magical) have absolutely no effect on them.



* ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'': Although in his youth, he was a bit of a Casanova, now he seems to have eyes only for his girlfriend, Daisy. But, in one cartoon, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCC5QBy_jtg "Double Date Don,"]] Daisy's neighbor Clara Cluck falls in love with him, with him mostly trying to fend her off and finish building Daisy a brick wall. This seems to happen in a few other cartoons as well. And in the comics, especially ''ComicBook/DoubleDuck'' and ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' (more prominently in [=PK2=]), Agent Kay K and his friend's love interest, Stella, from their respective comic both flirt with him a little or praise him. And he doesn't quite know what to do with the attention.

* On ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug,'' both protagonists seem to attract a lot of admirers, in both their civilian and superhero identities. Marinette/Ladybug has Adrien, Theo (aka "Copycat"), Nathaniel, Luka, and Nino crushing on her at various points, while Adrien/Chat Noir has Marinette, Chloe, Kagami, Alya (as Chat, per WordOfGod), and Lila, as well as a [[GroupieBrigade small army of crazed fangirls]] due to his [[FashionModel side job]]. Despite this, neither one seems to notice most of their admirers - Adrien, in particular, can be shockingly ObliviousToLove.

* Aoife in ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles4'' is a GenderInverted example. She's so beautiful and sweet, with a habit of paying well-intentioned compliments to the men in her unit, that she has a huge throng of admirers who think they have a chance with her... and she is ''completely'' unaware of it. Her Squad Story is all about one of her squadmates trying to work up the nerve to confess his feelings, only to find out that she already has a fiancee, and all of the things that others mistook for affection were simply because she is very nice. One of her female squadmates ends up astonished by how much of an 'unintentional seductress' she is.

Usually deliberately designed to be MrFanservice. This character also tends to be {{Adorkable}}. Compare AccidentalPornomancer, CelibateHero (who avoids romantic involvement that might interfere with The Cause) and ChasteHero (who's too young, dumb or [[{{Asexuality}} asexual]] to even be interested). See also SingleTargetSexuality, in which a character remains uninterested in potential love interests because they're only interested in one, ObliviousToLove, where there is one specific person who is ''clearly'' head-over-heels for them but they don't realize it, ChickMagnet (of course), UnwantedHarem and HollywoodDateless.

* Gary, one of the protagonists of ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', is completely clueless about the effects that he increasingly has on women as the comic continues. This is nominally justified by his unhappy and repressive religious upbringing, but mostly it's just because he's an oblivious (but {{adorkable}}) geek who gains a peculiar but justified reputation as an oral sex master. The whole thing was maybe turned UpToEleven when a rather scary {{dominatrix}} provisionally identified him as "the perfect sub".

* In ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'', Will wastes all his frustrated energy on swordplay because he's about the only person who can't see that Elizabeth is ready to jump his bones the minute she can get him alone[[note]]So to speak. WordOfGod says they never had sex before marriage, but they did have a lot of rather close dancing and sword practice.[[/note]]. Jack Sparrow even lampshades this at one point. Granted, he may be aware of it; he just thinks that due to their difference in social class (he's a blacksmith's apprentice and she's the governor's daughter), it would be downright ''disrespectful'' of him to have feelings for her. This can be seen in his refusal to call her anything but "Miss Swann" for most of the movie, even though she keeps telling him to call her Elizabeth.
