* '''[[FullMetalPanic Sos]][[MemeticSexGod uke]]'''.

Usually deliberately designed to be EstrogenBrigadeBait. Contrast CelibateHero, who avoids romantic involvement that might interfere with TheCause, and ChasteHero, who's too young, dumb or [[{{Asexuality}} asexual]] to even be interested. Compare ChivalrousPervert and OfficerAndAGentleman, who often overlap with this character.

* Oddly gender-flipped in L.M. Montgomery's {{Anne of Green Gables}} series. She has such a warped, idealistic view of what love and romance is that she doesn't realize that there are half a dozen men waiting in line to marry her. Including her former enemy turned friend, Gilbert Blythe.

This character likes women, and the feeling is mutual. Unlike the ChasteHero or CelibateHero, this character understands sex and romance, but when he really likes a girl he drops everything to grab the IdiotBall.

Out of some misplaced but adorable sense of chivalry, he refuses her advances, refuses to advance, or refuses to believe that she's interested in...you know...at all. If she's subtle or shy about her interest, expect a lot of CannotSpitItOut. If she gets frustrated with his thick headedness and just jumps in his lap, he'll be elated but confused, and often torn between his normal "manly" response and the "gentlemanly" thing to do.

Of course he rarely makes a rejection stick. It usually just delays the inevitable, but may result in SlapSlapKiss or an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove depending on how long they string things out, or where they exist on the sliding scale of civility.

* [[InsufferableGenius Sheldon Cooper]] of ''TheBigBangTheory'', who is [[AmbiguouslyAutistic unable to comprehend social niceties]] and [[Asexuality appears to have no interest in the opposite sex at all.]]

* Simon Tam of ''{{Firefly}}'', who is too focused on his medical career (and later, helping his BrainwashedAndCrazy sister) to have much luck with the opposite sex (especially [[spoiler:Kaylee, who has a crush on him from the beginning of the show.]] This leads to InVinoVeritas.

* MahouSenseiNegima has a LesYay example in Setsuna and Konoka. Setsuna constantly angsts about this, despite pretty much [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everybody else]] realizing that Konoka likes Setsuna just as much (if not more), and the relationship would shoot to official couple status in a matter of seconds if Setsuna ever figured that out.

** [[AlternateCharacterInterpratation Some think he knows but wants to focus on helping his sister.]]

* ''{{Twilight}}'': In the face of Bella's insistence, Edward finally admits that he's no longer afraid of losing control and killing her, but rather he's trying to protect her virtue. Bella thinks this is extremely funny. At first.

*** Also [[StraightGay Kubo]] has a crush too.
*** [[TiteKubo Vhut]]?

** Another notable one was when Yoshii's sister noted in front of Yoshii, Minami, and Himeji that Yoshii seems to only read porn about busty women in ponytails. [[BuxomIsBetter Himeji]] immediately ties her hair into a ponytail, and the next day Minami (who always has a ponytail) comes to school with some sort of inflatable insert. He ''still'' doesn't notice.

* The titular character of ''HayateTheCombatButler'' is an interesting case: He's not a ChasteHero, in theory--he understands the idea of romance and attraction, and even has a couple girls he's pining after, but he doesn't notice that ''every'' girl he meets falls in love with him. The guys at school call him the Airhead Gigolo because of this: Part is his [[ThePollyanna personality]], part is [[ContrivedCoincidence just dumb luck]], and there's even a little bit of FriendToAllLivingThings thrown in just for the hell of it.
