* In Myth/JapaneseMythology, some versions of the [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Princess]] [[YamatoNadeshiko Kaguya]] tale state that several noblemen asked for her hand in marriage. She knew that she'd never be able to marry either of them since she had to return to the Moon, but she also knew that she couldn't afford to openly blow them off without getting herself and her parents in trouble, so she [[TakeAThirdOption took a third option]] and gave each potential husband pretty much impossible to fulfill quests as conditions. Some tried to cheat their way out, but the GenreSavvy Kaguya wasn't fooled.

* Alan from the webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Avalon}}'' drew this out for ''three years'' with Helène. He had initially dated her due to her popularity but quickly regretted it due to her being extremely clingy, but he also didn't want to hurt her too badly. Eventually, his best friend Joe [[spoiler:tells it to her straight, and it turns out she knew this whole time that Alan was no longer in love with her, but she convinced herself that he still cared about her and they could make this work.

* This is part of Jasmeet’s personality in ''Namastey London''. Every time her family arrange her a “blind date” with another suitable Indian expat they expect her to marry, she deliberately goes as a composite of undesirable female traits, driving the men away. She does this to make time until she can introduce her british fiance to them. When instead her family tires of her dumping of perfectly good men and then drag her to India to marry her with typical punjabi Arjun, Jasmeet doesn’t waste time to immediately erect the language barrier and the cold shoulder against her new husband with the hope that he realizes that he is the UnwantedSpouse and returns to India by himself. Arjun, however, sees through the ploy and instead decides to romance her.

Reasons for this vary. Bob might know the relationship has to end, but he doesn't want to be the bad guy, especially if what's turning him off could be seen as shallow or insignificant by others. He might genuinely want to spare Alice's feelings, and figures that she won't be heartbroken if she's the one who initiates the breakup. He might realize that [[RomanticFalseLead he's not the one she belongs with]], and does this to make her see that. He might be afraid of what her [[OverprotectiveDad father]] or [[KnightTemplarBigBrother big brother]] [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer might do to him]] if he dumps her. Hell, he might be afraid of what ''[[WomanScorned Alice]]'' [[PsychoExGirlfriend will do to him]] if he dumps her. If they're married, they might have a prenup that makes it desirable for Bob not to be the one to request a divorce. Or perhaps they aren't in a relationship to begin with: Alice could be an AbhorrentAdmirer who keeps chasing after Bob trying to get a date or a SelfProclaimedLoveInterest who insists they are ''already'' dating and refuses to accept any claims to the contrary, and Bob thinks this will get her to leave him alone for good.

But because AllGirlsWantBadBoys, Dina wasn't as attracted to him when he wasn't a rebel, and the other campers found the "new" Budnick even more obnoxious than the old one. To [[WeWantOurJerkBack get their jerk back]], Dina had to push him away.
