XS in particular is known for developing intense crushes on characters like M'Onel and Cosmic Boy, both of whom are entirely oblivious; meanwhile, XS herself spends a while being completely ignorant of the fact that Dyrk Magz has a crush on her. Eventually she catches on, but they get just about enough time for one date before Dyrk gets DemotedToExtra and then wiped from continuity completely.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderGirl'': May Parker was for very long time completely unaware that one of her friends (or more likely, one of her friend's friends), Wes Collins has a crush on her. She was the [[EveryoneCanSeeIt only person in the entire school who didn't know about this]]. She got better, but it took a very long time.

** ''[[ComicBook/{{Supergirl 1972}} In a Pre-Crisis issue]]'', Supergirl and ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} team up to rescue a guy both women have a crush on. Said guy never realized they were interested in him.
** ''[[ComicBook/{{Supergirl 2005}} In her Post-Crisis]]'' series Kara had a ''huge'' crush on Nightwing. She even kissed him at a point. Nightwing's reaction? "Oh, I'm sure she cannot possibly have a crush on me."
* The Soviet version of Franchise/{{Superman}} is quite oblivious to Wonder Woman's feelings for him in ''Comicbook/SupermanRedSon'', and it comes back to haunt him later on. It is an all female island of rape victims with a "no boys allowed" policy. It could be he doesn't think her kind would ever have affection for a man.
