6	* Simon and Lauren, a couple that breaks up with each other multiple times because Simon can't control his temper,

12	!!Tropes displayed in I Never:
13
14	* CantSpitItOut:
15	** In two plotlines. Ian and Esmeralda are in love, but they dance around each other - they don't dare to confess their feelings to one another.
16	** In Jamie's plotline, he meets a girl in the bus and doesn't dare to talk to her.
17	%%* CoolOldLady: Elizabeth.
18	%%* DontSplitUsUp: Elizabeth and Alan.
19	%%* INever: The whole story is themed around this game.
20	%%* JustFriends: Ian and Esmeralda.
21	* MomentKiller: Victor [[spoiler:walking in on Ian and Esmeralda, when Ian is just about to confess his feelings.]]
22	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. [[spoiler:In Elizabeth's plotline, there are two Alans.]]
23	* SingleTargetSexuality: Victor really doesn't have eyes for anyone but Zoë. And it seems to be mutual.
24	%%* StraightGay: Pete.
25	%%* TitleDrop: Frequently.
26	%%* UnresolvedSexualTension: Ian and Esmeralda.
27	* UnusualChapterNumbers: The title of every chapter in the story starts with INever.
28	* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: [[MeaningfulName Victor]]. Probably one of the few examples where this isn't a spoiler.
29	Victor and Zoë have been together since kindergarten, but only later realized their feelings for one another, feelings that were replied. One could, therefore, state that Victor is a [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Victorious Childhood Boyfriend]].
