* ''Literature/NotQuiteAMermaid'': In ''Mermaid Friends'', Electra dislikes Keri and Marina because they made fun of her for [[ApparentlyHumanMerfolk having legs]], and because they made Sasha cry by dressing as a BedsheetGhost. But late in the book, Electra finds that both girls have been stranded on a rock by the lowering tide. If a mermaid's tail is out of the water for too long, it starts to blister, so Electra quickly climbs onto the rock and helps both girls back into the ocean. A moment later, a wave almost throws Electra back against the rock, but Marina grabs her and pulls her to safety. Electra realises that Keri and Marina aren't really mean, just insensitive, and that they share her love of adventure. They agree to be friends. That night, Keri and Marina make up for the ghost prank by showing Electra and her friends a beautiful cave full of bioluminescent jellyfish, where they enjoy a midnight feast.

** [[NaiveEverygirl Shirley]] thinks [[MagnificentBastard Lelouch]] is a cold, spoiled brat until she witnesses him helping out some strangers when no one else would, apparently a habit of his. And it wasn't just that he helped - it was that afterwards, he didn't boast or anything, he just went back to what he'd been doing as if nothing had happened. And he didn't seem to take any satisfaction in helping, as his face kept the same bored expression as usual. It made her start paying closer attention to him, to try to figure him out. Thus begins her infamous and [[BreakTheCutie tragic]] crush on him.

Essentially, a form of RelationshipUpgrade that tends to happen very early on in the RomanceArc, if not start it entirely. RescueRomance, RescueIntroduction, and ReturningTheHandkerchief are particularly common types of Samaritan Relationship Starter. A related trope is SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan, where one character is attracted to another because they're usually like this.
