Either gender can be a Mad Lover, for a beloved of either gender. It's just more common to have females in the role because a clueless woman clinging to an exasperated man is much funnier than a clueless man clinging to an exasperated woman.

Some writers adore this trope and like to keep the tension going by throwing in the occasional [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moment where Bob reveals some love for Alice]], just to leave the viewers wondering what's ''really'' going on.

This is not just AllLoveIsUnrequited or ObliviousToLove. Bob is well aware of this one-sided crush, but his protests fall on deaf ears. He can tell Alice he isn't interested, sometimes ''violently'', but she invariably [[SelectiveObliviousness fails to catch on]]. Her behavior often straddles the line between ClingyJealousGirl, StalkerWithACrush and even PsychoSupporter, but generally means no harm to Bob and also respects his ideals. If she does start becoming a threat to Bob or others though, then [[{{Yandere}} beware]]...

* In ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'', Touko Fukawa has this kind of relationship with Byakuya Togami. Togami makes it clear several times that he doesn't think much of her (then again, he doesn't think much of anyone), but Fukawa just interpret his insults to mean that he's secretly concerned about her. Still, Togami isn't above taking advantage of Fukawa's almost slavish devotion towards him when he sees fit.

This is not just AllLoveIsUnrequited. Bob is well aware of this one-sided crush, but his protests fall on deaf ears. He can tell Alice he isn't interested, sometimes ''violently'', but she invariably [[SelectiveObliviousness fails to catch on]]. Her behavior often straddles the line between ClingyJealousGirl and StalkerWithACrush, though she can also be a PsychoSupporter if she genuinely means no harm to Bob and also respects his ideals.

* Harley Quinn and the Joker, again: All throughout ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' (where Harley originated, after all), she loved him unconditionally and madly (in the insane way as well as... *ahem* [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar deeply]]). She would quit him every so often and [[HoYay join up with Poison Ivy]], but would go work for him again in the end. See Comic Books for the deconstruction about Harley's origins, which gives her HiddenDepths. (Harley was originally just a Mook du Jour but became an AscendedExtra.)

* In ''Theatre/AsYouLikeIt''this is the way that ALL the pairs of lovers behave, except for Touchstone & Audrey. It's the more innocent incarnation of the trope, where the issues arise because of Rosalind's gender-bending disguise. She gives herself the name "Ganymede" while disguised. Rosalind likes Orlando, Phoebe falls in love with Ganymede, Silvius likes Phoebe: [[HilarityEnsues]]. Although the word "abuse" gets used in the dialog, nothing the characters do would actually qualify under a modern-day definition of that word: apparently in ''Creator/WilliamShakespeare'''s day, the meaning was considerably weaker. There is a very clear distinction made between the actually abusive behavior of Orlando's brother Oliver, and the way that Ganymede mocks his lovesick behavior. In her disguise, Rosalind (as Ganymede) pretends to do a kind of [[CureYourGays conversion therapy]] on Orlando: but it's really an elaborate pretext to flirt with him. There is also a scene where Rosalind (as Ganymede) has to fend off an overly affectionate Phoebe: but again, nobody is actually getting hurt here. All that ends up happening is a LOT of [[LesYay]].
