* Makoto Naegi of ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'' seems to attract the attention of numerous females likely because he's just such a nice guy. It also helps that he listens and tries to empathize with everyone he can, no matter how much of a jerk they might be.

** Finally, Chitose falls for him because he's good at making her feel relaxed and he's a source of stability in her life (and it doesn't hurt that [[LikeParentLikeSpouse he also reminds her of her late dad]], [[DaddysGirl whom she was very attached to]]). In the second trilogy, Kazuya has his own qualities that does the same for him with his own brand of meek sincerity and sensitive guy appeal.

* In ''VisualNovel/IkemenSengoku'', this happens if the main character chooses to pursue Hideyoshi, Mitsunari, or Sasuke, all of whom are extremely nice guys through and through, help her overcome her fear of living in such a dangerous era, and don't criticize her or view her as naive for her [[ActualPacifist pacifist beliefs]] like many of the other warlords do. Hideyoshi initially treats her coldly because of suspicions that she may be a spy or assassin, but immediately becomes incredibly kind and doting toward her when he realizes his suspicions were false and goes to lengths to help her pursue her dream career; Mitsunari is a complete sweetheart who never has a bad word to say about anyone and promises her from day one that he'll always be there to protect her; and Sasuke is a fellow time-traveler who was separated from her for four years but still dedicated himself to finding her and making sure that she would be safe and able to return to the future with him even after she ends up working for his employer's enemies.



* In ''VisualNovel/ShallWeDateNinjaShadow'', almost all of [[PlayerCharacter Saori's]] potential boyfriends are not only very strong fighters ''and'' very handsome, but also '''very''' kind young men who support her all the way. Hell, in the very few times she ''doesn't'' follow the trope, she'll fall for the [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boys]] only when they show her [[PetTheDog their softer sides.]] [[spoiler: When Tsubaki tries to [[HoneyTrap use that dishonestly]], Saori is ''[[BrokenPedestal very angry]]'' when she finds out, and Tsubaki has to be completely honest with her from then on to recover her favor.]]

* ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'': Tact Mayers is shown to have many good qualities that appeal to each member of Angel Brigade, depending on the route chosen.
** Milfeulle falls for him because he's funny, goofy and nice, but most importantly he's very understanding of all the disasters Milfeulle's luck tends to cause.
** Ranpha falls for him because he's energetic, enthusiastic, passionate about his feelings, and is capable of being very romantic.
** Mint falls for him because he's intelligent, honest, ethical (unlike her father's corrupt business associates), tolerant of her eccentricities, and most importantly he's empathetic enough to understand her.
** Forte falls for him because he's willing to always improve himself (which, given Forte's high standards, is harder than it sounds).
** Vanilla falls for him because he's compassionate and he's an anchoring influence that makes her feel safe and loved.
** Finally, Chitose falls for him because he's good at making her feel relaxed and he's a source of stability in her life (and it doesn't hurt that [[LikeParentLikeSpouse he also reminds her of her late dad]], [[DaddysGirl whom she was very attached to]]).

** Sakura fell for Shirou due to his refusal to give up and his kindness to her despite her being, in her mind, a bad girl. This attraction started in middle school when she saw him trying to high jump over a bar that was too high for him. She wanted to see him fail and give up, yet was shocked and charmed when he continued to try anyway even when he eventually failed.

* Invoked by Rachel in ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework''. The protagonist's newfound introspection and willingness to return certain sexual favors (i.e. giving oral sex) mean that he is worthy of another chance in her book. She doesn’t see him as the same guy who callously broke up with her months before.

* Pretty much every girl with whom the protagonist on ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'' can eventually end up (the title character, Isabella, Becca, and Amy). However, their thought processes are very different: Melody wants someone who will stay with and take care of her after other important people in her life have abandoned, neglected, or mistreated her; Isabella wants to get back on her feet after a bad relationship; Becca wants a relationship that can restore her confidence after her last one fell apart out of the blue; and Amy wants a guy who will take care of her after her last boyfriend abused her.

False. Kyoko was fairly trusting in general, plus she figured out relatively early that Makoto isn't working for the mastermind, he's also far from the only one she trusted or cared about. Makoto trusting her because she believed hin in the first trial is just a projection, Makoto was never grateful for that because he was too busy mourning the victim. Hooking up in the anime is a speculation, it was intentionally open-ended.


* ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'': One of the few things sustaining [[ProperlyParanoid Kyoko Kirigiri]] throughout the DeadlyGame is her knowledge that Makoto Naegi, at least, is trustworthy. [[spoiler:Even more so than herself.]] Makoto thinks the same way about her because she was the only student who didn't join the hysterical mob trying to scapegoat him. It's no surprise that they hook up in the anime.

Even if, for the most part, they only consider him a friend in the common route, it is when he shows friendship towards them and helps them out with their problems that they start to fall in love with him.

* The reason the heroines fall for Shirou in their routes in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''
** While originally only loyal to Shirou in a platonic, master-servant type relationship (literally), as his selfless and caring deeds continue to win her over, Saber finds herself falling more and more in love with him, despite her mental barrier of thinking of herself as a lone King.
** While Rin finds Shirou's martyr complex annoying and later depressing, she admits she likes his ideals, kindness, and determination charming. [[spoiler:The Heaven's Feel route reveals this attraction started when she saw him continually try something impossible and was able to achieve it when she would have given up by a certain point.]]
** Sakura fell for Shirou due to his refusal to give up and his kindness to her despite her being, in her mind, a bad girl. This attraction started in middle school when she saw him trying to jump a pole vault far too high. She wanted to see him fail, yet was shocked and charmed when he continued to try anyway and eventually succeeded.
* In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', Mion's attraction to Keiichi is because he's a good friend and fun to be around, as she explains to Shion in the Eye Opening chapter. Shion drops a hint to Keiichi about it in the Cotton Drifting chapter and [[spoiler: outright tells him that Mion loves him in the Festival Music chapter.]]
* Interestingly played with in ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo''. Hisao Nakai is a NiceGuy, yeah, and the girls come to love him as he gets over his initial depression and then begins to reach for them... but that doesn't necessarily mean he's gonna win their affections off the bat. In example, [[spoiler: if he falls into white knighting in Hanako's path, this will lead to the ''Bad End'']]; similarly, [[spoiler: trying to [[CloudCuckooLandersMinder support and understand]] [[MadArtist Rin]] in her own path might bring ''him'' a heavy emotional toll]]; and [[spoiler: to get [[PassionateSportsGirl Emi]] to actually stop pushing him away, he will have to be ''very'' persistent.]]
* All of the ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' heroines fall under this, and usually WeaknessTurnsHerOn, too, in falling for sweet, {{Adorkable}} Riki. Even if, for the most part, they only consider him a friend in the common route, it is when he shows friendship towards them and helps them out with their problems that they start to fall in love with him.
* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', [[spoiler:this is why Juniper Woods is absolutely smitten with Apollo Justice, to the point of ''knitting heart-patterned clothing'' every time she talks or thinks about him. Apollo has consistently been nice to her and he even saved her life from rubble that was about to fall on her. When Juniper talks about Apollo, she usually mentions how kind and brave he is.]]
** In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Trials and Tribulations'', we've got [[spoiler: Iris, who despite dating Phoenix only for the sake of getting a crucial piece of evidence that proved her twin sister's (Dahlia Hawthorne's) guilt, later ''actually'' fell in love with Phoenix, and thus never got the evidence back in time.]]
* In the ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'' series, the kinder, the more affectionate, and the more attentive you are towards basically all the winnable girls of the series, the deeper they will fall in love with you. But this is especially true with the BrokenBird characters of the lot, [[spoiler: Mira Kagami]], Kaori Yae, and [[spoiler: Hotaru Izumi]], who have been burned by [[LoveHurts previous painful experiences with others]] (the first being on a [[spoiler: RevengeOfTheNerd]] crusade after continuous heartbreak [[spoiler: and a harsh private life]], the second having suffered of [[spoiler: EtTuBrute after TakingTheHeat]], and the third still suffering of [[spoiler: TheMourningAfter]]). They will only fall for you if you're 'particularly'' kind and considerate towards them.
* The PlayerCharacter from ''VisualNovel/TrueLoveJunaiMonogatari'' is [[AManIsAlwaysEager a complete horndog]] and [[NoSocialSkills sometimes puts his feet in his mouth]], but he also is a kind guy who listens to the girls' problems and tries to help them.
* In ''VisualNovel/ShallWeDateNinjaShadow'', almost all of [[PlayerCharacter Saori's]] potential boyfriends are not only very strong fighters ''and'' very handsome, but also '''very''' kind young men who support her all the way. Hell, in the very few times she ''doesn't'' follow the trope, she'll fall for the [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boys]] only when they show her [[PetTheDog their softer sides.]] [[spoiler: When Tsubaki tries to [[HoneyTrap use that dishonestly]], Saori is ''[[BrokenPedestal very angry]]'' when she finds out, and Tsubaki has to be completely honest with her from then on to recover her favor.]]
* In ''VisualNovel/IkemenSengoku'', this happens if the main character chooses to pursue Hideyoshi, Mitsunari, or Sasuke, all of whom are extremely nice guys through and through, help her overcome her fear of living in such a dangerous era, and don't criticize her or view her as naive for her [[ActualPacifist pacifist beliefs]] like many of the other warlords do. Hideyoshi initially treats her coldly because of suspicions that she may be a spy or assassin, but immediately becomes incredibly kind and doting toward her when he realizes his suspicions were false and goes to lengths to help her pursue her dream career; Mitsunari is a complete sweetheart who never has a bad word to say about anyone and promises her from day one that he'll always be there to protect her; and Sasuke is a fellow time-traveler who was separated from her for four years but still dedicated himself to finding her and making sure that she would be safe and able to return to the future with him even after she ends up working for his employer's enemies.
* In ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'', this is the case between [[spoiler:Akane]] and Junpei, [[AntiHero strange as that initially seems]]. The conflict in their relationship comes from Junpei questioning whether she can see him as both a loyal, unquestioning pawn (which she does) ''and'' a romantic equal. [[spoiler:Turns out she can; the GoldenPath she's sought for centuries must include him alive.]] [[ExpendableAlternateUniverse Every other timeline is useless]], except for purposes of research...and taking violent, cathartic revenge on whoever killed him.
