Sister trope to DidNotGetTheGirl, only here we never even meet the "girl" (in the present anyway; flashbacks are allowed). See also GirlNextDoorTurnedSuperstar, when the one that got away becomes a celebrity.

* It's heavily implied that the titular "Carol Brown" from the Music/FlightOfTheConchords song of the same name was this for the singer. He breezes through all of the ways his relationships with ex girlfriends ended, with them getting hurt or plain leaving. Carol is the only one the singer lingers on, pausing every time he remembers her abruptly leaving on a bus and getting angry when the Choir of Ex-Girlfriends keeps reminding him of his failings, thinking she put them up to it.

* ''Music/ConfessionExecutiveCommittee'' by Creator/HoneyWorks features Mio and Haruki, a couple of "friends" who are obviously in love with each other, but neither ever worked up the courage [[CannotSpitItOut to confess]], and both ended up parting ways (Haruki moved to America after graduating high school) without realising that their feelings are actually reciprocated by the other.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'' has one in Kyra in the episode "A Rose For Everafter," much to Beckett's chagrin, though she won't admit it. Not that Castle is pining away for her and abstaining from love entirely.

* ''Series/{{Acapulco}}'': It quickly becomes clear that Maximo and Julia are not together in the present, but judging from how she features so heavily in his stories and he keeps the bracelet he had meant to give her all the way back in 1985 with him, he has not completely gotten over her.

* ''Film/ChooseLove'': Cami explicitly describes Jack as "the one that got away". He is her dreamy high school boyfriend whom she broke up with because he went to do something activistic in Guatemala. Now he's back stateside and has apparently never stopped loving her, either...
