* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': [[{{Tsundere}} Amy Rose]] is this to Sonic. She constantly tries to marry him, flirts with him, and is presented as a StalkerWithACrush in many early 3D ''Sonic'' titles. Sonic himself [[ChasteHero isn't interested]] in romance, but he at least tolerates her.

* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': [[{{Tsundere}} Amy Rose]] is this to Sonic.

* BY average, there's at least one per UnwantedHarem series.

* On ''TotalDrama,'' [[LoonyFan Sierra]] is definitely the StalkedWithACrush type, first to [[DoggedNiceGuy Cody]] and later to [[BlackAndNerdy Cameron]] (mostly because Cody wasn't around and she kept hallucinating Cameron as him). Aside from putting Cody through hell and getting violently jealous/protective, she once tried to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] an AccidentalMarriage on him.

* Boa Hancock from ''Manga/OnePiece'' claims to be Luffy's soul mate, despite the fact [[IdiotHero Luffy]] has [[ObliviousToLove never shown]] [[ChasteHero even a passing interest in her]]. Elder Nyon mentioned that Hancock is under some sort of "love sickness," and whatever it is seems to be affecting her pretty badly. She interprets even the vaguest, most non-chalant show of affection or camaraderie from Luffy as a sign that he's her husband and that they are meant to be together for eternity.

* ''RanmaOneHalf'': Tatewaki Kuno, poor deluded fool, is this for any woman he has the slightest interest in.

* AxisPowersHetalia: Sweden once said that Finland was [[HoYay "my w'fe"]], much to Finland's shock.

* Tokiwa from ''AskDrRin'' plays this trope for drama [[spoiler:while he's posessed]].

Compare ClingyJealousGirl and StalkerWithACrush. Contrast SheIsNotMyGirlfriend. Also, this kind of behavior is typical of the {{Yandere}}.

* ''LightNovel/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'': Shouko to Yuuji. [[spoiler:Considering their shared past, however, things aren't as easy as they seem.]]

* ''{{Peanuts}}'': Sally is like this towards Linus. "I am NOT your sweet Babboo!"

* Stuntman Mike from ''DeathProof'' seems to have this for his victims, but he's a serial killer, and his feelings weren't PlayedForLaughs.

* The French film ''À la folie pas du tout'' (in English, HeLovesMeHeLovesMeNot) features AudreyTautou as an erotomanic who displays this behavior towards a happily married doctor who is barely aware of her existence. She takes his rejection about as well as you might expect.

* SonicTheHedgehog: [[{{Tsundere}} Amy Rose]] is this to Sonic.
* TheKingOfFighters: In some continuities, Kensou refers to himself as Athena's boyfriend. Athena doesn't agree.

* Panini is this towards the title character on ''{{Chowder}}''. [[spoiler:The DistantFinale has them eventually married.]]

* Famously, a guy named John Hinckley, Jr. had an erotomanic delusion involving JodieFoster. It led to him shooting RonaldReagan to "impress" her.

* ''WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' had Harper dabble in this trope for a few seasons with Justin before moving on to Zeke. She would routinely talk about her (imagined) relationship with Justin and claim that any other girl Justin dated was only a temporary fascination and that he would eventually find his way back to her.

* PlayedForDrama on ''{{Dexter}}'', when a murder victim's "girlfriend" turns out to be a stalker who killed him in a rage because he didn't return her feelings.

* Eddie Brock has this opinion of his 'relationship' with Gwen Stacy in ''Film/{{Spider-Man 3}}''. Gwen comments that all they've done is have coffee together.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'', [[BrattyHalfPint Rebecca]] [[ClingyJealousGirl Hawkins]] started claiming that Yugi was her "boyfriend" during her second appearance and kept it up through the end of the series. She at least managed to make Yugi [[LuminescentBlush blush]] and Tea [[GreenEyedEpiphany jealous]] if nothing else.

* LightNovel/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts: Shouko, to Yuuji. [[spoiler: Considering their shared past, however, things aren't as easy as they seem.]]

* Nodame from ''NodameCantabile'', so much. She actually declares herself Chiaki's wife, and some people take her seriously, but they aren't even dating or anything and Chiaki mostly thinks of her as a pest outside of being a genius pianist. [[spoiler: She pretty much hangs around him so much that eventually he stops correcting people that she's not his girlfriend, and even starts ''referring'' to her as his girlfriend and eventually they get married.]]
