* Flay and Kira in ''GundamSeed''. [[spoiler:Kira did like her, but when their relationship started she was ''definitely'' in {{yandere}} mode, so she failed to realize that she did love him until it was too late. By the time she gets her emotional issues sorted out in that department, Kira isn't around and she gets taken prisoner and it [[UnwittingPawn just goes downhill from there for her]]. By the end, Kira seems to be leaning towards Lacus anyway before she gets blown up, though she does get time for a final farewell. Kinda.]]

* On ''{{Friends}}'', Rachel's old college roommate denies Rachel's claims that they once [[GirlOnGirlIsHot drunkenly made out]], until Rachel finally kisses her again in frustration, saying "maybe you'll remember ''this''," and the girl reveals that she ''does'' remember their first make-out and has been obsessing over it ever since, including [[PsychoLesbian picturing Rachel's face when she has sex with her boyfriend.]] Whoops.
** [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial No, she said she DOESN'T do that.]]

It all goes along swimmingly, until Bob starts feeling something for Alice. It can start by finding out she and he are very compatible, or as ajealous GreenEyedEpiphany when she goes off with a boyfriend or has sex with someone else. Eventually, their perfect arrangement starts to fall apart as the ground rules are broken, leading to a confrontation.

->'''Alejandra:''' Look, what happened between us was important to me, and I thought it meant something to you too. But clearly Elsa means more to you than I do.
-->-- ''La Verdad Oculta''

->'''Richard''': [[spoiler:'''Liliana''']], I trusted you. I thought you cared for me.
->[[spoiler:'''Liliana''']]: Maybe I did. Maybe that's why I was doing it the easy way. Now we do it the hard way... Now I must skin you alive to have your gift.
-->-- ''[[TheSwordOfTruth Stone of Tears]]''

* Played with in ''QuestionableContent''. [[spoiler:Sven and Faye]] are halfway into SlapSlapKiss territory when they start up a friends with benefits setup. [[spoiler:Sven]] screws it up by sleeping with another girl (nobody said they were monogamous). They both soon realize that it meant something to the both of them. [[spoiler:Faye does forgive Sven, but they don't continue their relationship]]

*** Not that that lasted. [[spoiler: She couldn't forgive him for killing a patient on purpose, even if the patient ''was'' a terrible dictator.]]
** Played beautifully straight in a recent episode, leading up to [[spoiler: them possibly getting back together.]]

* Possibly the most triumphant example being Vanilla Sky, with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz's characters finally hashing it out in a moving car. Cameron Diaz is driving. She's very despondent. It doesn't end well.

* In [[TheSwordOfTruth Stone Of Tears]], after one of Richard's teachers (the one closest to him) is revealed as a villain (after trying to drain his gift and life out of him), Richard said that he thought she cared about him... and she answered that maybe she did, and that's why she tried to '''drain''' his gift instead of bleeding it out of him - which is normally accomplished by FlayingAlive the person in question.

-->'''Cordelia:''' Doyle! I thought our kiss meant something. And instead, he-he used that moment to pass it [prophetic visions] on to me. Why couldn't it have been mono or herpes?

* Denise proposed a FWB arrangement with Brad on BostonLegal, which ended when Brad realized he wasn't comfortable with it. When she found out she was pregnant with Brad's baby, she agreed to marry him.

* On ''WillAndGrace'', it is revealed that an old girlfriend of Leo's, Diane, is the only woman Will ever had sex with. He attempts to comfort a jealous Grace by telling her it meant absolutely nothing and he only did it to verify his gayness, whereupon Diane bursts out that it meant a lot to her and was in fact the only time she'd ever had an orgasm. (Leo: [[BigWhat "WHAT?!"]])
