* Cindy gets this twice in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', but both times she never actually gets the word out.
** First in "The N-Men" in an attempt to calm the Hulk-esque Jimmy who just finished mopping the floor with her and the others:
--->'''Cindy:''' You don't deserve to have me make fun of you. You're a great guy! You're smart, and talented [...] I know I'm always mean to you, but I do it so you won't notice my real feelings. The truth is, well...I sorta, secretly...lo...lov..''[[HeroicRROD (Falls unconscious)]]''
** Then again in "The League of Villains", when the villains in question are about to kill them.
--->'''Cindy:''' Jimmy, I just wanted to tell you that... that I lo... lo...\\
'''Jimmy:''' LOVE POTION! That's it! Thanks, Cindy! ''[kisses her cheek and runs off]''\\

* In ''WesternAnimation/AngelsFriends'': [[spoiler: Raf to Sulfus in Episode 26]]. They later kiss, thus committing the sacrilege that Reina had been waiting for. This can backfire on them.
* A family-based example is subtly implied in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. During the finale when Zuko is apologizing to Iroh, he says “I don’t know how I could ever make it up to you, but I-“ before being cut off by a hug. The shape of his mouth implies that his next word was going to start with the letter “l”, heavily implying that he was going to say that he loves Iroh. Couple it together with the fact that he was begging for forgiveness for something terrible he did, and it fits this trope perfectly.
* ''WebAnimation/BravestWarriors'': In the pilot, Chris gives one to Beth in order to defeat a monster that feeds on pent-up emotions. Subverted in that she doesn't hear it over her laughter.

* ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'': Brendon pushes himself on Cynthia a bit too much at a Battle Of The Bands competition -- as she runs off, he runs onstage and, grabbing a microphone, declares in a highly embarrassing manner that he's "in LIKE" with her.
* Spike the dragon from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' carries a silent crush for Rarity the unicorn during 36 episodes. But at the climax of the episode "Secret of My Excess", both of them are plummeting from a mountain to their deaths, so Spike decides to finally break his silence:

* In the finale of ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', [[spoiler:Catra]] finally confesses her love to [[spoiler:Adora]]. Fortunately, it's requited, and [[BigDamnKiss they kiss]].
* A platonic example occurs in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' where Squidward, after struggling mightily to apologize to Spongebob for pulling a cruel April Fools prank on him, is guilt-tripped by visions of other people [[WhatTheHellHero calling him out]] for his callous behavior into breaking down and shouting to Spongebob about how sorry he is for hurting him and how much he really likes him and the rest of the Bikini Bottom residents he's stuck with in spite of his normal contemptuous attitude toward them.

--->'''Eclipsa:''' ''I love you!'' I know you haven't heard these words in a very long time, but I'm saying them again to you now. Please, [[spoiler:Meteora]], come back to me.
