** At start of the story Peter has a crush for Liz Allan. However, she is Flash's girlfriend and initially considers Peter something of a loser, even taking part in the general ridicule that Peter endures on a daily basis. After, she hears an ailing Peter had donned a Spider-Man costume in order to save Betty Brant from Doctor Octopus and develops a crush on him. By this time, however, Peter's interest has waned considerably, as he notes that Liz never showed any real interest in him until he began dating Betty Brant and assumes that Liz's feelings are little more than a schoolgirl crush.

{{Unrequited Love Switcheroo}}s in ComicBooks.
----
* In the first issue of ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'', "Pep Comics 28". Archie had just moved into the neighborhood; albeit a couple years younger than he was in later issues and with the nickname "Chic". He tries to impress his neighbor Betty Cooper to try to get her to date him through dangerous stunts which she believes make him look arrogant. After Veronica moves in during "Archie Comics 1", the whole dynamic was changed to a BettyAndVeronica format where Betty has a really big and sometimes obsessive crush on Archie.
* Early on ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer,'' Xander had a crush on Buffy. In the comic book continuation of the series, however, she realizes she may have fallen for him, only to find out he's now dating her sister Dawn (who, ironically, had a PrecociousCrush on him as a teenager). In this case, though, years passed between the end of Xander's crush and the beginning of Buffy's, during which time they both dated (and in Xander's case, almost married) other people.
* [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] and [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara Gordon]] are often linked this way, with Dick (as Robin) first developing a crush on the slightly older Batgirl as teenagers. By the time Barbara became interested in a relationship, Dick had grown up, became Nightwing, and was dating an alien princess. Dick and Babs got married in the ''Convergence'' event, but when placed back in their normal universe, they fell victim to the Flashpoint reboot and are back to being on-and-off again. In the original stories, Barbara wasn't just slightly older nor still in her teens. She was in her early-mid 20's and a college graduate. Eventually, she was aged closer to Dick and given an eidetic memory to explain how she managed to complete school so quickly. Her term in the U.S. Congress (minimum age 25) was quietly retconned out.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':

* ComicBook/{{X 23}} had a crush on [[JerkJock Hellion]], who believed she was a mindless, apathetic robot and was not shy about saying so. This was the source of much painful confusion for X-23, and after getting some CharacterDevelopment, she left [[ComicBook/XMen the school]] so she could sort out her [[{{Tykebomb}} tra]][[DarkAndTroubledPast uma]]. Later on, Hellion (who was just beginning his ''own'' Journey Of Self Discovery) went through a TraumaCongaLine in which everything he had once believed about the world was turned upside down, and went off to find her. The comic makes it rather clear that he isn't interested in her out of genuine love, but rather a desperate need to no longer be alone- and once Hellion shows up, a ''far'' more confident X-23 rejects him. This probably counts as a {{Deconstruction}}.
