Basic trope: A character does something (usually plucking flower petals) to determine whether someone loves them, alternating between saying "S/he loves me" and "S/he loves me not" with each turn.
- Straight: Alice plucks petals from a flower to determine whether Bob loves her or not.
- Exaggerated: Alice has a stash of flowers to pluck petals from for every time she falls in love with someone.
- Justified: The flowers have the power of brainwashing another person into loving/not loving the one who plucked its petals.
- Inverted: A sapient flower plucks Alice's hair to determine whether another flower loves it or not.
- Subverted: Alice is about to do it, then thinks the result won't change anything.
- Double Subverted: Then Alice does it anyway just for fun.
- Averted: No character plucks flowers to determine if someone loves them.
- Invoked: Alice confesses Bob her love for him, and he tells her he'll be her boyfriend if she gets "he loves me" from a flower.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "Try plucking a random flower's petals. That will tell you if he loves you or not."
- Implied: Alice plucks petals from a flower while gazing longingly at a photo of Bob, her crush.
- Played for Drama:
- Alice gets "he loves me" from the flower, then she proposes to Bob and he rejects her. Alice wonders how that's possible if she got "he loves me".
- Alice gets "he loves me not" from the flower. Bob actually loves her, but she doesn't believe him because of the flower. Both end up heartbroken.
