Do we have a Useful Notes entry for Erotomania? Because I believe this is at least related.

Covered by Mad Love (first sentence and paragraph) and Rejection Affection.
Edited by MiinU I wouldn't mind failure so much, if I didn't fail so much.
Is there a trope where an Abhorrent Admirer, Stalker with a Crush, Casanova Wannabe, etc. is convinced that the target of their affections returns their feelings even when said crush explicitly rejects and/or avoids them? Some examples of this trope would be...
- Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, who belives that Belle, the one woman who isn't attracted to him, is just her Playing Hard to Get.
- Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia who thinks that the Waitress's rejections are the result of her teasing him rather than genuine disinterest.
- Tatewaki Kuno from Ranma ½ who thinks Girl!Ranma and Akane are under a spell by Boy!Ranma rather than being genuinely annoyed by him.
