History ObliviousToLove / WebComics

* Shine from ''Webcomic/NextSoundOfTheFuture'' just cannot figure out why Gumiya doesn't have a girlfriend even though he's so popular... Even him admitting that just the thought of her is enough to cheer him up, how he lavishes her with praise, and his [[CrushBlush constant blushing in her presence]] is not enough to clue her in to his feelings for her.

* [[Webcomic/{{Niels}} Agent 300]] spent the better part of a year completely blind to his partner's [[http://nielsg.com/forever-oblivious obvious]] [[http://nielsg.com/dressing-well attraction]] [[http://nielsg.com/different-degrees-of-scottish to]] [[http://nielsg.com/too-close him]]. It took said partner nearly being killed for 300 to realize that not only was 250 in love with him, but he [[LoveEpiphany felt the same way]].
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Elan, who is a GenreSavvy mix of TheDitz, SpoonyBard, and CloudCuckooLander, takes hundreds of strips, and dozens of hints, to finally reciprocate Haley's feelings. Although oddly, in the prequel book, he guesses/teases her with the idea shortly after they meet, clearly flustering her. Then [[DistractedByTheShiny he sees something shiny or something]]...

* ''Webcomic/{{Rain}}'', to Maria and Gavin's crushes on her.

** Eridan Ampora believes Feferi Peixes is [[ObliviousToLove Oblivious To [His] Love]], but it's at least possible and maybe probable that she's very much aware of it and is only acting oblivious in an attempt to keep Eridan (who is a pretty terrible person even by troll standards) at a distance. When he eventually tries to confess, she basically tells him that even the level of friendship they've had is rather more than she wants. Much Drama Ensues.

** Justin and a newly-introduced character, Luke, were clearly attracted to each other at first sight - both Sarah and Grace noticed, and Grace has never been wrong about such a thing yet - but neither of them knew if the other is gay. Justin assumed at first that Luke was straight mostly because he's never met another openly gay guy. (Justin: "Something like ninety percent of people are straight." Grace: " ... [[CastFullOfGay That cannot possibly be right.]]" Justin: "Probability is on my side. Or, more like it's actively opposing me.") When we get some narration from Luke's perspective, he complains about meeting Justin and finding himself in 'yet another case of my finding an obviously straight guy hot'. They got it sorted out eventually.

* In ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'', Lt. Elf had a major crush on Captain Tagon, a crush that was obvious to every member of the crew ''except'' Tagon. (Pretty much every attempt by Elf to broach the subject was interpreted by the one-track minded - and occasionally stunningly dense - Tagon as referring to their current mercenary job). She eventually gives up on Tagon and hooks up with Second-In-Command and company MadScientist, Kevyn.

* In ''Webcomic/MonsieurCharlatan'', [[http://monsieur-charlatan.com/archive/page-23/ his compliment gives her a moment of hope before he unwittingly dashes it.]]
* Carson from ''Webcomic/DorkTower''. [[http://www.dorktower.com/2012/02/29/leap-year-to-conclusions-dork-tower-02-29-12/ Especially in the arc starting here]]. Cluelessness, thy name is muskrat.
* ''Webcomic/{{Angels 2200}}'': Unlike pretty much the entire rest of the ship's crew, Kid has no clue about Hammer's feelings towards her.

* [[Webcomic/{{Niels}} Agent 300]] spent the better part of a year completely blind to his partner's [[http://nielsg.com/forever-oblivious obvious]] [[http://nielsg.com/dressing-well attraction]] [[http://nielsg.com/different-degrees-of-scottish to]] [[http://nielsg.com/too-close him]]. It took said partner nearly being killed for 300 to realize that not only was 250 in love with him, but he [[LoveEpiphany felt the same way]].
* Art and Kat from ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' are both in such denial about each other, that [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=827 even Cupid is powerless]].
* In ''Webcomic/TheDementiaOfMagic'', Matt has no idea Phinn has a crush on him.
* The title character of ''Webcomic/{{Evon}}'' is in deep '''deep''' denial about her feeling towards Hero. Even going so far as denying it ''to herself'' when confronted by her clone, who shares her memories and outright states that they're both in love with him.
* Both [[spoiler: Helen]] and [[spoiler: Dave]] of ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' spend most of the run of the series completely oblivious to the fact that the other is smitten by them.
* Qiu Tong from ''Webcomic/TheirStory'' did not know Sun Jing was in love with her despite the fact EveryoneCanSeeIt. [[spoiler:She rejects Sun Jing's LoveConfession however it's a ForegoneConclusion they will date eventually.]]
* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', Jiminez Hoffmann completely fails to notice that Princess Larana acts [[CannotTalkToWomen the same way around him]] that he acts around Collette. When he realises Larana is betrothed to him for AltarDiplomacy between the two underground kingdoms, he vows to get out of it for her sake.

--->'''Moloch''': I... I don't know [if I'm over her]. I... everything is suddenly so ''different''. I mean, I still like her...\\
'''Snaug''': [-Oh, really...-]\\
'''Moloch''': But see-- (''Lightly gripping Snaug's chin'') until the last few days, I never had a ''chance'' to get used to being around ''attractive women''! So, Sanaa? Yeah, she's smart and tough and I like being around her -- [[MasterOfTheMixedMessage but since I feel the same way about]] ''[[MasterOfTheMixedMessage you]]'', I ''obviously'' don't know ''anything'' about romance. Stupid, huh?\\
''[Cut to Snaug [[CryIntoChest desperately clutching]] at Professor Mittlemind.]''\\
'''Snaug''': Oh, Professor, I want to kill something so very, '''very''' much!
* ''Webcomic/{{Rain}}'', to Maria and Gavin's crushes on her.
* ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' has minor character Thomas oblivious to Luna's crush on him. [[GenreSavvy Larisa]] has [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/01/07/0750-subtle-signals/ some ideas on how she could drop him some hints]]... [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/01/14/0752-larisas-world-of-science/ And boy, he needs them]]...
* The trope is both played straight and played with in ''Webcomic/CobwebAndStripes''. In the mid-teen chapters, the leads start developing some UnresolvedSexualTension. Lydia plays the trope straight, as she is aware of her own growing feelings for Betelgeuse but not of his for her. Betelgeuse, on the other hand, not only gradually becomes aware of both sets of emotions, but actively tries to ignore them in the hopes that they'll ''go away''. He's got his reasons, one of which is that he's truly (secretly) afraid of hurting her.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Avialae}}'', it [[https://yaoi.biz/avialae/chapter-1/page-66 goes both ways]] with Gannet being oblivious of Bailey's crush on him for a long time and Bailey being oblivious of his ''own'' crush on Gannet for an even longer time (as well as being completely clueless about Gannet's attempts to flirt with him until Gannet flat-out kisses him).
* In ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', Lucy was obviously besotted with Walky and followed him around like a puppy. Walky basically treated her just another one of "the guys." When Dorothy (his ex-girlfriend) suggests asking out Lucy, Walky responds that he has no idea if Lucy even likes him. [[https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/04-hompk/askout/ Dorothy can only stare at Walky in response.]]
--> '''Walky''': THIS IS WHY YOU GIRLS GOTTA KISS ME SO I KNOW WHAT'S GOIN' ON!

** Elliot himself pretended to be oblivious to Sarah's flirtations so she wouldn't feel 'rejected' when finding out he already had a girlfriend. ItMakesSenseInContext ... or at least in his own mind. His girlfriend dumped him, came out as a lesbian, and started dating his [[HalfIdenticalTwins twin sister]] and OppositeSexClone, Ellen. He and Sarah then started dating, but broke up mutually when they realized they were incompatible. (She realized he was too laid back and didn't take romantic initiative enough to match her adventurous personality, and also didn't express physical attraction to her, to the point where she questioned whether he even did find her attractive. He realized that she was [[spoiler: like a sister to him]]. They stayed friends.)

** Vriska Serket had no honest idea that her moirail, Kanaya, was in love with her. In fact, she thought that Kanaya [[EpicFail had a crush on Tavros]], the object of Vriska's (hate-filled) affection. There's also another moment where Karkat opens a memo, invites John and Dave into it, and starts ripping into them about 'flirting' with Vriska and Terezi. Cue John being thoroughly confused.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Elan, who is a GenreSavvy mix of TheDitz, SpoonyBard and CloudCuckooLander, takes hundreds of strips, and dozens of hints, to finally reciprocate Haley's feelings. Although oddly, in the prequel book, he guesses/teases her with the idea shortly after they meet, clearly flustering her. Then [[DistractedByTheShiny he sees something shiny or something]]...

** Elliot has been less than subtle about his crushes on Brun and Clinton, but neither have picked up on it. While Brun has made it clear she has a hard time parsing out people's emotions without them being spelled out for her Clinton has no such excuse, especially as Elliot ''talked to Clinton about his crush on him'' (leaving out Clinton's name) while they were talking about their respective crushes on Brun.

** Actually it is pretty clear that Tagon was well aware of Elf's romantic intentions (though it is unclear on how long he has been aware of it). He makes it pretty clear he understands the problems in [[UnequalPairing getting romantic with a lower ranking officer]] in a military environment. [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2006-10-11 Getting Kevyn and Elf together appears to be a bonus reason to promote her to the rank of Commander aside from her obvious aptitude and command capabilities]].

** Roy is instantly attracted to Miko, and starts bringing it up rather crudely, and everyone else notices it too and sometimes talks about it. However, Mik herself is apparently unfamiliar with the colloquallisms and habits associated with such things, since she initially fails to understand the meaning of such direct comments as "You're hot" and "Roy wants to bump uglies with you."
