* Played with in ''Webcomic/FriendlyHostility'': Fox normally has no problem in referring to Collin as his boyfriend, but when Collin shows up while his coworker Derringer is pestering him about becoming buddies, he quickly rushes to loudly introduce him to Derringer as his "BEST FRIEND". Collin just as quickly walks off before he gets mad enough to do something he'll regret.

Antimony thanks her, but adds "Also; not my boyfriend." This sets up the latter ShipTease in [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=797 this strip]]. Maybe because after [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind this adventure]] Two Strange Girls already knew [[RescueRomance his attitude]].
** However, in the short term at least, this turns out to be true. Jack has a crush on Zimmy of all people, and Annie, at the time of making the aforementioned statement, held a hidden grudge against Jack. They're likely in for more teasing of that sort now, though, considering that as far as their classmates are concerned [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=694 Jack publicly gave Annie a note]] and some of them saw them amiably chatting then going off on their own for a night. Of course, there's a nonromantic explanation for those, but others don't know that.

-->'''Dwayne''': That was quite an adventure you guys had. How's Dexter?\\
'''Patty''': Argh! Not you too! Look, we are ''not'' dating! We made peace! That's it! Not seeing each other, not dating, not engaged, not getting married, not breeding! "Friends" is pushing the definition! We just aren't fighting anymore!
* Several people in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' refer to Angus as Faye's boyfriend or something similar before they are officially an item, but have admitted their mutual attraction. Faye denies this.

* The eponymous ''Webcomic/{{Sarab}}'' say this about Karin. In front of her. She does not take it well.
* In ''Webcomic/BlueYonder'', Lena's saying this produces a rather different effect, [[http://www.blueyondercomic.net/comics/1316065/blue-yonder-chapter-1-page-31/ as she faces him down for claiming it.]]

Donny infers that Rolan must be her boyfriend, and finds this disgusting; Tanna [[http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/490 protests madly]]. [[http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/528 A while later]], Donny tells Tanna that her new boyfriend isn't so bad after all; her reaction is to say that Rolan is not her boyfriend.
* In one story arc for ''Cheer!'', Lita forces Alex (who is a girl, yes) to take her out to dinner to a steak house. She also forces Alex to go to the dinner wearing a nice suit. Cue Alex spending most of the evening telling the restaurant staff that she is ''not'' Lita's date and ''not'' a "sir".
* In ''Webcomic/{{Footloose}}'', Jenny refers to Keti as Dan's girlfriend - she, Dan, and Iordan insist she isn't in unison, Keti and Dan being genuinely {{Squick}}ed by the idea, and Iordan having a vested interest in Keti being single.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'', Zach uses this line when found in a [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/11/26/no-time-for-playing/ compromising position]] with the wild possum Jess. In defiance of how the trope usually goes, she interrupts him and completely ignores the accusation; they're in a crisis situation. [[RelationshipUpgrade But a few hours later...]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Avialae}}'', every relative that sees Gannet and Bailey together assume that they're dating. This is not helped by Gannet's complicated hang-ups with relationships making him fine with doing everything with Bailey ''but'' calling their outings together "[[NotADate dates]]".
