* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' has a female version of this with Caitlin. Being an airy teenage girl, [[SmittenTeenageGirl she's really boy-crazy]] even when compared to her other teenage female friends, with a propensity to pursue a boyfriend, being unable to commit to him for longer than a month [[ToiletSeatDivorce (sometimes for incredibly petty reasons on her part)]], then do it all over again with another guy:

%%* A female version from ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' is Caitlin.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has Mabel as a female example of this trope. However, "Society of the Blind Eye" shows she's not taking her failed attempts at a summer romance (like Norman, who "turned out to be gnomes", Gideon, who was a StalkerWithACrush who threatened her family, and Gabe, who [[CargoShip made out with his own puppets]]) as well as she lets on.

* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'' has Zenitsu immediately forgeting about the previous woman he desperately asked to marry him upon finding a new target; the only one he hasn’t let go is Nezuko, partially because he might liker her more than his usual crushes on first sight and that Nezuko is a nice demon girl in a state of mind where she really can’t decide or understand complex things yet, she is just nice enough not to repudiate Zenitsu on sight.

* ComicBook/MilesMorales has an ever-growing list of infatuations on superheroines his age: [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] [[ComicBook/AntMan Cassie Lang]], [[ComicBook/AllNewXMen teen Jean Grey]], [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SpiderGwen, and [[Characters/MilesMorales Starling]] are among the most prominent.

* ''Manga/SuperGals'' has Naoki, whose entire characterization consist of him falling in love with an unavailable girl, getting heartbroken when he finds out that his "soulmate" already has someone else, then falling in love with another (unavailable) girl when he tries to leave for some soul-searching. Over the course of three volumes, he's fallen in love with Ran, then Miyu, then Sayo, then Aya.

* ComicBook/MilesMorales has an ever-growing list of infatuations on superheroines his age: [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] [[ComicBook/{{Stature}} Cassie Lang]], [[ComicBook/AllNewXMen teen Jean Grey]], [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SpiderGwen, and [[Characters/MilesMorales Starling]] are among the most prominent.

* Sansa from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' has shades of this. She falls quite hard for [[EvilPrince Prince]] [[RoyalBrat Joffrey]] at the first hint that their parents are considering [[ArrangedMarriage bethrothing]] them. She fantasizes about marrying [[BadassGay Ser Loras]] both before and after Joffrey's [[TheCaligula true nature]] is revealed and she falls out of "love" with him, then transfers her affections wholly to [[ReplacementGoldfish Loras' brother Willas]] on being offered a secret marriage pact to him, without even [[TheUnseen meeting him.]] Seemingly the only male she DOESN'T fall in instant love with the moment a possible romantic relationship is suggested is [[spoiler:her eventual husband, Tyrion]]. Not without a certain amount of justification.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has Mabel as a female example of this trope. Howvever, "Society of the Blind Eye" shows she's not taking her failed attempts at a summer romance (like Norman, who "turned out to be gnomes", Gideon, who was a StalkerWithACrush who threatened her family, and Gabe, who [[CargoShip made out with his own puppets]]) as well as she lets on.

* The ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime has Brock. But it's not (usually) because he gets rejected, but he keeps being stopped and pulled away by Misty (pulling by the ear), Max (after getting it from the former), May (on ''one'' occasion), his Bonsly (only a few times with Double-Edge), or his Croagunk (with a Poison Jab, no less).

* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' novel ''Literature/BloodRites'' features Arturo, who has been married (and divorced) thrice and currently has a new beau. People who know him claims that he is capable of intense love towards whoever he's got his eye on at the moment, but has a problem when the magic dies -- it is notable that in a universe where ThePowerOfLove is real, Arturo is capable of showing it towards anyone he's interested in. [[spoiler: It is revealed at the end that for the first time, he married a ''plain'' woman. Perhaps this one would last.]]

* The ''Literature/EncyclopediaBrown'' series has KidAnova Tyrone Taylor.
* ''Literature/GossipGirl'' has two. Nate Archibald and Serena van der Woodsen.

* William's older brother Robert in the ''Literature/JustWilliam'' stories.

* Very much the case with Neal from the ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall quartet by Creator/TamoraPierce, although he eventually gets over it and gets married.
* In ''Literature/TheseWordsAreTrueAndFaithful,'' a running joke among Ernie's friends is that Ernie declares every new object of his infatuation as the one with whom he is meant to be.

* [[SexyPriest Gösta]] [[ByronicHero Berling]] spends most of ''Gösta Berling's Saga'' falling desperately in love with one woman after another, winning her love, turning her life upside down, and then moving on to do the same thing to someone else about ten days later, until he's eventually forced to grow up.

* WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo
* ''WesternAnimation/PepeLePew'' from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''. At least until the tables are turned on him.

* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''.

* Phoebe from ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' starts out as one but eventually evolves into a Deconstruction. The endless stream of failed relationships leaves her emotionally damaged and terrified of heartbreak again. After she gets a vision of having a baby in the future, she misuses her powers to see if her relationships will go anywhere on the first date. The final season Reconstructs it when she decides to get a sperm donor and she then realises that she doesn't just want a baby, she does want love as well and a Cupid gets sent to help her overcome her relationship issues.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has Mabel a female example of this trope.

* Adolin from ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'' is this in spades. Frequently lampshaded by his brother, and several other characters. In the second book he's fine with the prospect of an ArrangedMarriage to a woman from an insignificant house he's never met partially because by this point he's offended ''literally'' every other eligible woman, and the idea of letting someone else make the arrangements sounds good. Oddly enough, the ArrangedMarriage seems likely to become a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage, as he and the girl in question fit together quite well. There's a bit of a RunningGag throughout the second book where Adolin will be in the same scene with a random woman and she'll glare at him. At one point, the woman teaching Kaladin's men how to care for their horses starts throwing stones at Adolin without missing a beat.

* Claire Stanfield from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' has a habit of falling in LoveAtFirstSight with basically every girl ever, proposing to them in all seriousness at their first meeting. [[spoiler:Chane was the first to say yes.]]

* SClub7 had one as a landlady in ''LA 7'' by the name of Joannie. She has pictures of all her old boyfriends in her living room and her first episode has her describing many of the relationships in great detail to a concussed Bradley. Poor Paul actually has to pretend to be one of her boyfriends in a later episode.

-> '''Bingo''': Bertie, fancy, Bertie, the folly of one's youth!

* Swashbuckling adventure game, SeventhSea has the Hubris "Starcrossed" which means the game master can spend one drama die to have your character fall in love with ''another'' beautiful NPC whenever he wants.
