*** Finn ''tried'' to punch Jesse but he has cat-like reflexes and dodged.
** Also, Kurt's behavior towards Finn in the first season is a bit stalkerish. Kurt himself clearly doesn't see it though, as he thinks every attempt to call him out on it is due to homophobia.
-->'''Finn:''' The way you were all over me last year... if I did that to a girl, she'd take out a restraining order.
-->'''Kurt:''' You have issues with me being gay, I get it.
-->'''Finn:''' No, actually I don't. I have issues with the fact that you don't understand that no means no.
*** This matter is somewhat complicated by the fact that the first and only time Finn ever made any effort to say 'no', he did so using hate speech.
** [[DepravedHomosexual Dave]] [[ArmouredClosetGay Karofsky]], anyone? He's way worse than any of the others.
* ''TrueBlood'': Lorena just can't accept that Bill has moved on.

* Adrian {{Monk}} used to have this problem -- he solved a murder with the help of a creepy Stalker With A Crush, and accidentally transferred the stalker crush to himself. Fortunately [[spoiler:in a later episode, she eventually transfers her crush to F. Murray Abraham.]]
* In the earliest days of ''{{Smallville}}'', every other MonsterOfTheWeek had a crush on Lana. For that matter, Clark does the same thing to Lana with his telescope when she still lives next door to him.
-->'''Lana:''' ''(looking through the telescope)'' Did you know you can see my house from here?\\
'''Clark:''' ''(acting innocent)'' No... Really? ''(moves the telescope to point somewhere else)''
* In one episode of the short-lived ''{{Probe}}'', Austin is pursued by a stalker who murders one woman and tries to murder another she sees as an obstacle to her obsession with Austin. The twist? The stalker is a mentally enhanced orangutan.
* Fifth from ''{{Stargate SG-1}}'' cranked up the creepiness factor by declaring his love for Carter. This love led him to inflict Replicarter on the galaxy.
** Samantha Carter seems to attract these types. Orlin and [=McKay=] both nurtured (relatively creepy) obsessions with her. Several others, much creepiers, have died.
* Arguably the Master and his obsession with the Doctor on ''Series/DoctorWho'': eventually the butt of jokes on the show itself "Are you asking me out on a date?" and the Tenth Doctor's quip about the Master's [[TheBeard lavender marriage]].
** Sharaz Jek in "The Caves of Androzani" quite clearly has the creepy kind of hots for Peri, doing things like chloroforming her, stroking her face while she's unconscious, and carrying her around in his arms (again, unconscious) while whispering "so beautiful...so beautiful...". The fact that he also dresses entirely in black leather really doesn't help.
* A recurring plot on ''HartToHart'' was for one member of the title couple to attract a StalkerWithACrush who would then try to bump off their spouse.
* Used on ''LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' with quite a twist: a cellist is attacked and continues to get threatening messages before being shot. The detectives find the man who's been stalking her, but he claims never to have attacked her. It turned out his landlady also insanely believed herself to be in a relationship with the stalker, and ''she'' threatened and shot the girl out of jealousy!
* Sue White on ''GreenWing'' will do just about anything to get with Dr. Mac... witchcraft, attempted murder, slander...
* ''CriminalMinds'': in "Somebody's Watching", the profilers figure a male LoonyFan is the one killing people connected to a certain actress, but the unsub turns out to be the actress's PsychoLesbian friend.
** "Broken Mirror" had a rogue FBI agent who was obsessed with a pair of twin sisters, one of whom he abducted, while "The Crossing" had a fairly generic stalker going after a woman he met while fixing her computer (they accidentally touched hands and she smiled at him, it was good enough for him). The rapist in "Aftermath" also learned absolutely everything he possibly could about his victims before going after them.
* ''WireInTheBlood'': in "Nothing But the Night", Tony Hill has a brief conversation on a plane with a woman. Her erotomania over the course of the episode escalates to the point where by the end, he comes home to find her in his house cooking him dinner and acting as if they're already married.
* Sketch (towards Maxxie) from the second season of ''{{Skins}}''.
** Emily is kind of this towards Naomi in the third season, but she's far too nice and likeable (her pursuit of Naomi is more [[TheWoobie lovestruck puppy]] than PsychoLesbian) for it to be creepy. Naomi declares her to be "very annoying" when she manages to break into Naomi's bedroom (not hard, since Naomi's mum has turned their house into a hippy commune), rather than pulling the all-out freakout that might be associated with this trope. But even so.
* The Chief of Police in ''HillStreetBlues'' had a really obvious crush on the police officer played by Mimi Kuzyk. He often made serious compliments to her, that were (in her opinion) too personal, such that it bothered her enough that she filed a Sexual Harassment complaint. Later, when she decided to leave the police force, the lack of the boss/subordinate power structure made her lose her fear of him, enough that they ended up {{Shipping}} and she moved in with him.
* Steve Urkel on ''FamilyMatters'' found himself on both sides of this: for years he'd been Laura's stalker with a crush, then eventually found his own in Myra Monkhouse. Unfortunately for poor Myra, Steve was a more successful stalker than she was.
* In ''WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', Harper has a huge crush on Justin, sometimes bordering on obsession. Alex even takes advantage of this fact, when she tries to break the temporary connection that formed between Harper and Justin, telling Justin that Harper watched him once, while he was sleeping.
** In another episode Harper follows him in the movie theater, dressed as the seats, to camouflage herself and spy on Justin and his girlfriend. At one point, she spills juice on his head and tells him [[HilarityEnsues he can't sneak around behind her back, just because he doesn't know she is his girlfriend]].
*** Her crush is [[ShipSinking now gone]].
* ''GoodLuckCharlie'': {{Disney|Channel}} comes back to this trope time and time again. On ''[[SecondaryCharacterTitle Good Luck Charlie]]'', another sitcom, there is [[GenderBlenderName Teddy]], the main character. Her brother, has a friend named [[BlackAndNerdy Emmett]], who has a crush that's basically been built up by him into a full blown relationship with Teddy as his girlfriend. As usual per the KidCom genre, it's played for laughs.
* Booth on ''{{Bones}}'' gets saddled with a repeat offender of this. At the end of the episode, she accidentally shoots him while trying to kill Brennan.
** Season one also has a stalker who fixates on Bones after his previous obsession dies.
* Spike from ''Series/{{Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}''. He became accustomed to following Buffy down the pavement or hanging around outside her house at night. He watched Buffy through her window, made a shrine to her, [[PervertedSniffing smelled one of her sweaters]], and had a sex robot designed to look and act like her. [[spoiler:Of course his little crush got a little less one sided in Season 6 and by Season 7 he became a little less evil.]]
** Season two's Angelus combines this with LoveMakesYouEvil. Willow even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it: "You're still the only thing he thinks about."
** Arguable in that Angel himself was one even before Angelus came about in S2. In Season 2's "Lie To Me" Angel shows up at The Bronze and even claims that he was hoping Buffy would show despite the fact that Buffy often attends with Xander and Willow. Also in Season 2's "What's My Line Part 1", Buffy climbs through her window back into her bedroom. Somewhat creepily, Angel's already standing in there holding her stuffed pig, Mr. Gordo. It's clear he's been waiting for her to arrive. In that same scene, Angel admits to knowing about Sunnydale High School having its Career Week and explains his knowing about it as, "I lurk."
*** Of course, in fairness, it was essentially his ''[[BodyguardCrush job]]'' to stalk her, handed straight to him by the Powers That Be in order to keep her safe, even though she was unaware of it for a while. He can't exactly be blamed for it.
** Angelus was also this towards Drusilla, stalking her before eventually turning her into a vampire after making her insane.
** No mention of Ethan Rayne? He and Giles used to be * ahem* ''[[FoeYay friends]]'' and now he shows up every few seasons to fuck with his ex-''friend'''s head. Subtext my elbow!
* Ryan O'Reily from ''{{Oz}}'' was this way with Dr. Nathan. After she helped him through cancer, he immediately divorces his wife. Later, he forced a kiss on her, paid a fellow inmate to steal her stethoscope, and when she started ignoring him, had his brother Cyril [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill her husband]]. After she was raped, he very quickly murdered the man that did it. It was even said outright that his love for her was more of a stalker obsession. The weirdest part about it: [[LoveMartyr Dr. Nathan actually falls for him in the end]].
** Chris Keller as well. Such was his obsession with wanting to remain in Beecher's life even though Beecher repeatedly told him that he didn't want anything to do with him anymore.
* This trope recurs with ''WalkerTexasRanger'' villains.
* In the recent adaptation of Sarah Waters' ''Affinity'', a brand new character called Theophilius was drafted in as the heroine's wannabe suitor. Despite Margaret being a lesbian and mourning the death of her father, Theophilius wouldn't give up and insisted on pursuing her. He's finally written out when [[spoiler: he tries to rape her, ranting about his belief Margaret's hung up on her father and saying he'll 'erase his mark' from her. What a freak.]]
* ''Bad Girls'': Di Barker, one of the prison guards, is a serial stalker, obsessing on numerous unfortunate men who pass through Larkhall. She steals their possessions, builds shrines and does whatever she can to break up their relationships. [[spoiler: She receives her comeuppance when she's wrongly convicted for her husband's murder]].
* Arguably, West's behavior re: Claire on ''Series/{{Heroes}}''.
** Sylar's developed something similar with Claire as well. [[spoiler: Which raises the [[UnfortunateImplications disturbing question]] of how their relationship is going to be changed now that he's been brainwashed into thinking he's her biological father.]]
*** Especially since she doesn't actually know [[spoiler:the real Nathan is dead]] yet. She'll probably find out as soon as Sylar's [[spoiler:brainwashing wears off--which it has to, because eventually his healing ability will reject it.]] ''That'' ought to be an...''interesting'' confrontation.
** Claire is on the receiving end ''again'' in Volume Five, this time from Gretchen. However, Gretchen comes clean a lot sooner, and Claire seems to have forgiven her.
* Guy's obsession with Marian in the BBC's ''Series/RobinHood'', culminating in[[spoiler: [[IfICantHaveYou "If I Can't Have You, No One Will!"]] ]].
* Rose on ''TwoAndAHalfMen'' is a bit odd in that she's both quite [[LampshadeHanging self-aware]] of what she's doing, and is actually on friendly terms with Charlie and his family. This is justified as not only is she a nice, helpful person who happens to have some obsessive tendencies, she's also highly intelligent with a [=PhD=] in psychology.
** Her father, Harvey, was known to show the same behavior. Harvey had a one night stand with Charlie and Alan's mother and began to stalk her in the exact same manner that Rose stalked Charlie.
* Johnny Smith of ''TheDeadZone'' gets one of these, of the LoonyFan variety, in the episode "Misbegotten". She's played for laughs in TheTeaser, breaking into his house so she can cook for him, while Johnny blinks at her in bemusement. She gets a good bit creepier after she helps kidnap him, duct-tapes him to a chair, and [[AttemptedRape nearly rapes him]].
* After being hit on by an 82-year-old woman [[spoiler: albeit with syphilis]] in Season 1, "Informed Consent" and "Lines in the Sand" showed what a staggering age range of women are sexually attracted to Series/{{House}}. 17-year-old Ali shows up at the clinic just to expose herself to him, calls him 15 times a day, wears low-cut jeans in front of him to show her thong (justified by [[OnceAnEpisode the resulting]] EurekaMoment), straddles his motorcycle while waiting for him in the garage, ignores most of Cuddy's threats to call the police, and locks herself in House's office. Subverted in the end by [[spoiler: House telling that her she has a brain spore that causes loss of inhibition. Although it is rather heavily implied that he exaggerates the effects of said spore in order to make her give up her obsession.]]
** House himself, sort of. The crush part is up for debate. House hires a private investigator to spy on Wilson when Wilson cuts ties with House, quits his job, and moves away. The PI accuses House of wanting to see if Wilson is pining, and he's right. House is clearly upset to discover that, despite having the PI set up bugs and everything in Wilson's car and home, Wilson hasn't mentioned House at all.
** There's Tritter [[FoeYay towards House]] as well. Ever since their first meeting, where House anally inserted a thermometer into Tritter and just walked away and left him there ([[KickTheDog because Tritter tripped his cane out from under him, making him slam into the door]]), Tritter becomes [[FoeYay completely obsessed with House]]. He pretty much spends all his time [[StalkerWithACrush stalking House]], questioning all of House's friends trying to find things on him, and searching his house. He also actively sought out arresting House, and did a body search on him, which consisted of him groping House and lifting up his shirt (which exposed House's abdomen).
* Doctor Pilfrey spends most of the third episode of ''{{Fortysomething}}'' chasing after Estelle, acting on the e-mails that Edwin sent to him on her account, and turning his office into a love den complete with candles for when she showed up to see Paul. [[HughLaurie Similar to]] [[Series/{{House}} the above]], [[spoiler: he turned out to be suffering from hypermania]].
* Mel from ''FlightOfTheConchords''.
* Leoben is Starbuck's Cylon StalkerWithACrush on ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'', keeping her trapped in an apartment with him for months and introducing a fake daughter. Starbuck keeps killing him, but he keeps coming back. She was understandably frakked in the head after being rescued.
* ATF Agent Josh Kohn for Dr. Tara Knowles in ''SonsOfAnarchy''. [[spoiler:It does not end well for him]].
* [[ButtMonkey Freddie]] in ''ICarly''. He and Carly are really good friends, and the stalker side of things is pretty much limited to him waiting for her to come home after school by looking through his peephole (they live in opposite apartments), but it weirds some people out. Pretty much limited to PlayedForLaughs.
** Freddie's stalker-ish behavior drops off pretty quick. If you watched the rest of the series, then watched the pilot, you wouldn't recognize Freddie as the same character. Of course, post-pilot, Freddie is hanging out with his crush most of the time with her consent, so it would be a little difficult to stalk her at that point.
** The Mandy character seems to be a better fit for this trope.
** Nevel. Oh boy Nevel. He has a wall of monitors solely for the purpose of showing slow motion close ups of Carly. Creepy.
* Jason Stickler from ''CoryInTheHouse'', who (mis)uses high-tech gadgets provided by his CIA Director father to spy on Meena.
* David Platt from ''CoronationStreet'' just doesn't get the fact that Tina does not want to be his girlfriend anymore.
* In ''{{Dollhouse}}'', Alpha is one of these towards Echo. Disturbingly, he's even shown to sit naked in a room of a house in which he [[AxCrazy killed two people]], watching a video of Echo. And later on it is revealed that [[spoiler: Nolan is one for Sierra's original personality, Priya.]]
* Abby from ''{{NCIS}}'' once had to deal with a stalker ex-boyfriend. His walls are covered with pictures of her (all taken from outside restraining order's limits), and the team assumes he's the one hacking into all her records. Turns out he was, ''but,'' [[spoiler: he could only do it because a professional killer/hacker had already done it.]]
* Tully is arguably this for George in ''Series/BeingHuman''. He figures out George's general location by using newspaper articles, finds him in the woods post-transformation, and tracks him down to his home, where George finds him comfortably sitting in the living room. All because Tully is lonely and wants a friend ([[spoiler:who he also bit himself]]).
* RealityWarper Charlie Evans is one to Janice Rand in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E2CharlieX Charlie X]]".
* ''NurseJackie'': After breaking up with Jackie, Eddie is taking a definite turn in this direction -- befriending her husband and [[spoiler:overdosing on tranquilizers to get himself admitted to her emergency room]].
* ''GossipGirl'': Chuck Bass's behavior towards Blair comes close to this at times.
* ''TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager'': Ben's obsession with Amy borders on this at times.
** Also Adrian has had behaviors bordering on this to Ricky in seasons 2 and 4. Tom to Adrian. Jack has shades of this in his behavior to Grace. Grant transfered schools to get closer to Ashley in season 3. Ashley to Ricky in Season 3. Dylan has behaviors like this to Ben in season 4.
* ''{{Victorious}}'': Robbie for Trina, after she kisses him whilst acting a scene.
** He later becomes this for Cat.
*** He appeared more awestruck with her kiss than anything, they went back to normal next episode.
** Sinjin has become this in episode 4.
** Trina in [[http://www.theslap.com/clips/109 an open letter to Kevin Richards]]. If Trina doesn't get what she wants, ''hide''.
* On ''{{Seinfeld}}'' Elaine was very prone to getting these.
* ''HappyDays'': Joanie had an early crush on Potsie, and later in the series Joanie was on the receiving end of an obsession from Fonzie's cousin Chachi. It was quite unwanted until even later when they became an item and eventually married in the series finale.
* Charlie towards the Waitress on ''ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia''.
* In ''{{The X-Files}}'' episode "Milagro", Mulder's loner neighbor turns out to have a scary infatuation with Scully. He moved next door to Mulder in an attempt to get closer to her, he knows everything about her...even the novel he's writing is about her falling in love with him. Of course, in addition to being a stalker, the book he's writing has a villain who lives outside the book and tries to kill Scully.
* ''{{Dexter}}'': [[spoiler:Lila]] eventually becomes a version of one of these, going so far as to [[spoiler:murder Doakes to protect Dexter's secret]] because she believes them to be soulmates, and eventually attempts to [[spoiler:murder Dexter himself, as well as Cody and Astor.]]
* [[HannahMontana Lilly Truscott]] was known to have a mad, obsessive crush with [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Orlando]] [[LordOfTheRings Bloom]], often chasing after him stalkishly in public events when dressed as [[ClarkKenting Lola Luftnagle]]. A regular joke involved her friends "seeing the [[IncrediblyLamePun Lilly bloom]]". This seems to have subsided as she and Oliver became an OfficialCouple.
* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': [[spoiler:Moriarty]] is shown to be one of these for Sherlock from the very first episode when it turns out that [[spoiler:The Cabbie from A Study In Pink and The Black Lotus from The Blind Banker]] were sent out to 'test' Sherlock's skills and see just how good he is and his first words to Sherlock are 'Hello Sexy'. It can be argued that this crush extends to John Watson as well as [[spoiler:Moriarty has him kidnapped and strapped to a bomb and explicitly states that he plans to burn the 'heart' out of Sherlock.]] It is heavily implied that John is that for Sherlock and therefore a threat to [[spoiler:Moriarty and Sherlock's 'relationship']]
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': [[spoiler:Gordon Walker]] becomes this over the course of his first appearance for Dean Winchester, as he repeatedly tries to distance Dean from Sam. In each subsequent appearance on the show his obsession with Dean becomes more pronounced as he [[spoiler:kidnaps Dean]] repeatedly and when he's [[spoiler:turned into a vampire]]his first instinct is to find Dean and Sam so that he can [[spoiler:kill Sam and turn Dean so that they can hunt together. Forever.]]
* Jenna Maroney has one on ''Series/ThirtyRock''. Or rather, ''had'' one. She's terribly upset to find out that her stalker has moved on, treating it as if her actual boyfriend had left her. Kenneth cheers her up by stalking her instead.
* Episode 6 of Kieślowski's ''Dekalog'', Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery. A 19-year-old postal worker is the Stalker with a Crush of a woman in his apartment building. This is shown as odd and unhealthy, but nonetheless a manifestation of a pure impulse to love. [[spoiler: He explains that he no longer watches her when she has sex, for instance...]]
* In a ''Law and Order'' episode, one of these kills a woman's husband in what nearly everyone thinks is an accident, and then marries her. They even have a child together. [[spoiler: But the late husband's mother wasn't fooled.]]
* In ''Series/TheAdventuresOfBriscoCountyJr'', the shy, bookish lawyer Socrates becomes the object of a crazy woman's affection, but he can't get police protection because they won't believe him.
* Penelope Taynt of ''TheAmandaShow'' [[LesYay for the titular Amanda]]. Also, both Penelope and Amanda are played by AmandaBynes.
* Hoyt of ''RizzoliAndIsles'' develops a peculiar fixation on Jane and preys on her. He also wants to kill her because he likes that he thinks she's equal to him in some ways.
* ''TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial''. Krelman, on Ackmina.
* ''BoardwalkEmpire'': Agent Van Alden towards Margaret Schroeder. He stole and sniffed her hair ribbon, specially ordered her immigration file for his own perusing, questioned her neighbor about her, and caressed, and later whipped himself to, a picture of her. Van Alden's boss even calls him out on his obsession with the Schroeders.
* ''NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'': Missy towards the titular Ned.
* ''{{Glee}}'': Rachel towards Will in episode 10. Also Suzy Pepper before her. [[spoiler: Suzy's crush faded after she hospitalized herself, and she told Rachel to stop before she made the same mistakes.]]
** Jacob Ben Israel. A stalker with a knickers fetish for Rachel.
** Finn toward Rachel any time she's dating someone not him: in "Laryngitis" he accompanies Rachel to the doctor's surgery in order to instruct her to break up with Jesse because Jesse doens't 'get her' as well as Finn does, then openly pervs on her as she gets changed behind a screen, and in "Prom Queen" he insults Jesse repeatedly and punches him in the face for slow-dancing with her at the junior prom - while he himself is supposed to be another girl's date.
*** Finn ''tried'' to punch Jesse but he has cat-like reflexes and dodged.
** Also, Kurt's behavior towards Finn in the first season is a bit stalkerish. Kurt himself clearly doesn't see it though, as he thinks every attempt to call him out on it is due to homophobia.
-->'''Finn:''' The way you were all over me last year... if I did that to a girl, she'd take out a restraining order.
-->'''Kurt:''' You have issues with me being gay, I get it.
-->'''Finn:''' No, actually I don't. I have issues with the fact that you don't understand that no means no.
*** This matter is somewhat complicated by the fact that the first and only time Finn ever made any effort to say 'no', he did so using hate speech.
** [[DepravedHomosexual Dave]] [[ArmouredClosetGay Karofsky]], anyone? He's way worse than any of the others.
* ''TrueBlood'': Lorena just can't accept that Bill has moved on.
** Sam Merlotte, in Season One. Thankfully, he got better.
* Adrian {{Monk}} used to have this problem -- he solved a murder with the help of a creepy Stalker With A Crush, and accidentally transferred the stalker crush to himself. Fortunately [[spoiler:in a later episode, she eventually transfers her crush to F. Murray Abraham.]]
* In the earliest days of ''{{Smallville}}'', every other MonsterOfTheWeek had a crush on Lana. For that matter, Clark does the same thing to Lana with his telescope when she still lives next door to him.
-->'''Lana:''' ''(looking through the telescope)'' Did you know you can see my house from here?\\
'''Clark:''' ''(acting innocent)'' No... Really? ''(moves the telescope to point somewhere else)''
* In one episode of the short-lived ''{{Probe}}'', Austin is pursued by a stalker who murders one woman and tries to murder another she sees as an obstacle to her obsession with Austin. The twist? The stalker is a mentally enhanced orangutan.
* Fifth from ''{{Stargate SG-1}}'' cranked up the creepiness factor by declaring his love for Carter. This love led him to inflict Replicarter on the galaxy.
** Samantha Carter seems to attract these types. Orlin and [=McKay=] both nurtured (relatively creepy) obsessions with her. Several others, much creepiers, have died.
* Arguably the Master and his obsession with the Doctor on ''Series/DoctorWho'': eventually the butt of jokes on the show itself "Are you asking me out on a date?" and the Tenth Doctor's quip about the Master's [[TheBeard lavender marriage]].
** Sharaz Jek in "The Caves of Androzani" quite clearly has the creepy kind of hots for Peri, doing things like chloroforming her, stroking her face while she's unconscious, and carrying her around in his arms (again, unconscious) while whispering "so beautiful...so beautiful...". The fact that he also dresses entirely in black leather really doesn't help.
* A recurring plot on ''HartToHart'' was for one member of the title couple to attract a StalkerWithACrush who would then try to bump off their spouse.
* Used on ''LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' with quite a twist: a cellist is attacked and continues to get threatening messages before being shot. The detectives find the man who's been stalking her, but he claims never to have attacked her. It turned out his landlady also insanely believed herself to be in a relationship with the stalker, and ''she'' threatened and shot the girl out of jealousy!
* Sue White on ''GreenWing'' will do just about anything to get with Dr. Mac... witchcraft, attempted murder, slander...
* ''CriminalMinds'': in "Somebody's Watching", the profilers figure a male LoonyFan is the one killing people connected to a certain actress, but the unsub turns out to be the actress's PsychoLesbian friend.
** "Broken Mirror" had a rogue FBI agent who was obsessed with a pair of twin sisters, one of whom he abducted, while "The Crossing" had a fairly generic stalker going after a woman he met while fixing her computer (they accidentally touched hands and she smiled at him, it was good enough for him). The rapist in "Aftermath" also learned absolutely everything he possibly could about his victims before going after them.
* ''WireInTheBlood'': in "Nothing But the Night", Tony Hill has a brief conversation on a plane with a woman. Her erotomania over the course of the episode escalates to the point where by the end, he comes home to find her in his house cooking him dinner and acting as if they're already married.
* Sketch (towards Maxxie) from the second season of ''{{Skins}}''.
** Emily is kind of this towards Naomi in the third season, but she's far too nice and likeable (her pursuit of Naomi is more [[TheWoobie lovestruck puppy]] than PsychoLesbian) for it to be creepy. Naomi declares her to be "very annoying" when she manages to break into Naomi's bedroom (not hard, since Naomi's mum has turned their house into a hippy commune), rather than pulling the all-out freakout that might be associated with this trope. But even so.
* The Chief of Police in ''HillStreetBlues'' had a really obvious crush on the police officer played by Mimi Kuzyk. He often made serious compliments to her, that were (in her opinion) too personal, such that it bothered her enough that she filed a Sexual Harassment complaint. Later, when she decided to leave the police force, the lack of the boss/subordinate power structure made her lose her fear of him, enough that they ended up {{Shipping}} and she moved in with him.
* Steve Urkel on ''FamilyMatters'' found himself on both sides of this: for years he'd been Laura's stalker with a crush, then eventually found his own in Myra Monkhouse. Unfortunately for poor Myra, Steve was a more successful stalker than she was.
* In ''WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', Harper has a huge crush on Justin, sometimes bordering on obsession. Alex even takes advantage of this fact, when she tries to break the temporary connection that formed between Harper and Justin, telling Justin that Harper watched him once, while he was sleeping.
** In another episode Harper follows him in the movie theater, dressed as the seats, to camouflage herself and spy on Justin and his girlfriend. At one point, she spills juice on his head and tells him [[HilarityEnsues he can't sneak around behind her back, just because he doesn't know she is his girlfriend]].
*** Her crush is [[ShipSinking now gone]].
* ''GoodLuckCharlie'': {{Disney|Channel}} comes back to this trope time and time again. On ''[[SecondaryCharacterTitle Good Luck Charlie]]'', another sitcom, there is [[GenderBlenderName Teddy]], the main character. Her brother, has a friend named [[BlackAndNerdy Emmett]], who has a crush that's basically been built up by him into a full blown relationship with Teddy as his girlfriend. As usual per the KidCom genre, it's played for laughs.
* Booth on ''{{Bones}}'' gets saddled with a repeat offender of this. At the end of the episode, she accidentally shoots him while trying to kill Brennan.
** Season one also has a stalker who fixates on Bones after his previous obsession dies.
* Spike from ''Series/{{Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}''. He became accustomed to following Buffy down the pavement or hanging around outside her house at night. He watched Buffy through her window, made a shrine to her, [[PervertedSniffing smelled one of her sweaters]], and had a sex robot designed to look and act like her. [[spoiler:Of course his little crush got a little less one sided in Season 6 and by Season 7 he became a little less evil.]]
** Season two's Angelus combines this with LoveMakesYouEvil. Willow even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it: "You're still the only thing he thinks about."
** Arguable in that Angel himself was one even before Angelus came about in S2. In Season 2's "Lie To Me" Angel shows up at The Bronze and even claims that he was hoping Buffy would show despite the fact that Buffy often attends with Xander and Willow. Also in Season 2's "What's My Line Part 1", Buffy climbs through her window back into her bedroom. Somewhat creepily, Angel's already standing in there holding her stuffed pig, Mr. Gordo.

** Angelus was also this towards Drusilla, stalking her before eventually turning her into a vampire after making her insane.
** No mention of Ethan Rayne? He and Giles used to be * ahem* ''[[FoeYay friends]]'' and now he shows up every few seasons to fuck with his ex-''friend'''s head. Subtext my elbow!
* Ryan O'Reily from ''{{Oz}}'' was this way with Dr. Nathan. After she helped him through cancer, he immediately divorces his wife. Later, he forced a kiss on her, paid a fellow inmate to steal her stethoscope, and when she started ignoring him, had his brother Cyril [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill her husband]].

* This trope recurs with ''WalkerTexasRanger'' villains.
* In the recent adaptation of Sarah Waters' ''Affinity'', a brand new character called Theophilius was drafted in as the heroine's wannabe suitor. Despite Margaret being a lesbian and mourning the death of her father, Theophilius wouldn't give up and insisted on pursuing her. He's finally written out when [[spoiler: he tries to rape her, ranting about his belief Margaret's hung up on her father and saying he'll 'erase his mark' from her. What a freak.]]

** Claire is on the receiving end ''again'' in Volume Five, this time from Gretchen. However, Gretchen comes clean a lot sooner, and Claire seems to have forgiven her.
* Guy's obsession with Marian in the BBC's ''Series/RobinHood'', culminating in[[spoiler: [[IfICantHaveYou "If I Can't Have You, No One Will!"]] ]].
* Rose on ''TwoAndAHalfMen'' is a bit odd in that she's both quite [[LampshadeHanging self-aware]] of what she's doing, and is actually on friendly terms with Charlie and his family. This is justified as not only is she a nice, helpful person who happens to have some obsessive tendencies, she's also highly intelligent with a [=PhD=] in psychology.

* After being hit on by an 82-year-old woman [[spoiler: albeit with syphilis]] in Season 1, "Informed Consent" and "Lines in the Sand" showed what a staggering age range of women are sexually attracted to Series/{{House}}. 17-year-old Ali shows up at the clinic just to expose herself to him, calls him 15 times a day, wears low-cut jeans in front of him to show her thong (justified by [[OnceAnEpisode the resulting]] EurekaMoment), straddles his motorcycle while waiting for him in the garage, ignores most of Cuddy's threats to call the police, and locks herself in House's office.
