* In various iterations of the ''Fanfic/MaribatAU'', Lila takes her {{Celebrity Lie}}s even further by claiming she's dating Damian Wayne. She and her supporters will defend these claims against anyone who challenges them, including Damian himself... as often, they don't ''recognize him'' until it's too late.



* ''Series/TheMuppetShow:'' Ms. Piggy insists Kermit is the love of her life. Kermit's reaction is anywhere between frustration, indifference, refusal, or outright fear. Possibly because Piggy responds to Kermit not reciprocating by beating the crap out of him.

* In early ''Webcomic/{{Roomies}}'', Joyce's defining characteristic was a belief that Danny was her boyfriend, which Danny in no way reciprocated. Even years later when they were both in real relationships with other people, she would make comments that revealed she still believed that relationship to have happened.

* ''Manga/IsItMyFaultThatIGotBullied'': Reina Himekawa’s extremely clingy to her crush, Manaka, and tries to justify her [[BullyBrutality usual treatment]] of Shiori by explaining that she’s in the way of their “relationship”, even though they’ve never dated and only talked to each other a few times. [[ShutUpHannibal Manaka tells her where to stick it and leaves with Shiori.]]



** [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] considers herself to be Adrien's girlfriend and takes every opportunity to display her affection towards him. Adrien himself regards her as a friend at best -- and at worst, a way too [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace clingy]] annoyance. She pretty much drops this after [[spoiler:"Queen Banana"]] though.
** Cat Noir is madly in love with Ladybug and makes his feelings ''very'' clear. ''All the time.'' He's sincere, but Ladybug rebuffs him because he comes across as too playful and because she's committed to another boy - ironically, Cat Noir's civilian identity, Adrien.
** Marinette is madly in love with Adrien, and considers him "her future boyfriend". She keeps coming up with overcomplicated plans to win him over, has a stash of presents for him for future birthdays years ahead as well as special situations, and tracks their relationship progress with a complex chart of post-its. Fortunately or unfortunately, [[CannotSpitItOut her inability to just talk to him directly without blabbering incoherently]] keeps him from finding out.

* ''Fanfic/ADovahkiinSpreadsHisWings'':
** Robert Baratheon pines after Lyanna, ignoring how she ran away with Rhaegar in order to avoid being forced into a marriage with him. Eventually, he admits that he was more in love with the ''[[LovingAShadow idea]]'' of her, to the point where he questions whether she even existed at all.
** Petyr Baelish introduces himself to the Stark girls as a "very good friend" of their mother, much to their surprise, as she'd never mentioned him. He's also interested in the notion of SquaringTheLoveTriangle by "settling" for Sansa, which Ned naturally doesn't approve of.

-->'''Marinette:''' Ladybug says no to Chat's advances too, but you know, I'm SURE Adrien is just "''shy''." Or he "''secretly likes it,''" or maybe he's just "''playing hard to get.''" Yeah?\\
'''Alya:''' ...That's not fair. It's different for LB and Chat.\\
'''Marinette:''' Oh? Really? You have proof?

* ''Webcomic/FeralnetteAU'': During ''Enough Rope'', Marinette surprises the whole class by wishing Chloé good luck in her pursuit of Adrien. When Alya protests that Chloé's just delusional and {{entitled|ToHaveYou}}, Marinette points out that she [[ShipperOnDeck ships LadyNoir]] despite how Chat Noir treats Ladybug ''exactly'' the same way. Thus, by Alya's own standards and logic, Chloé's "relationship" with Adrien is just as viable.


Added DiffLines:

* Commonly crops up in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fanworks, as both Chat Noir and Chloé act this way towards Ladybug and Adrien, respectively. A common [[FandomSpecificPlot/MiraculousLadybug Fandom-Specific Plot]] involves taking Chat Noir to task for his MoralMyopia and failure to recognize that he's making Ladybug just as uncomfortable as Chloé makes ''him'' in his civilian identity.

* ''Fanfic/PhantomVsAliensHotEctoplasma'': Mandie staunchly insists that she and Danny are soulmates and that he's her fiancé, ignoring how he doesn't see her the same way.

In truth, [[OneTruePairing Jamie and Claire]] are madly in love and Laoghaire never had any hope of convincing Jamie to pick her instead.

** ''VideoGame/Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance'': After she sees him dispatch a horde of Lost mooks in the beginning, Seraphina instantly attaches herself to Killia and falls deeper in love with him for the rest of the game. Killia himself is uninterested because he's hung up on [[LostLenore Lieze]]. [[spoiler:When Lieze is revived at the end of the game, Killia resumes living with her, leaving Seraphina to continue pining for him.]]
