Line 51:
* In ''[[Kaleido Star]]'', ex-magician/now businessman Kalos Eido has been in love with his right-hand and companion Sarah Dupont for years, but since Sarah ditched her singing career to work with him, he feels horribly guilty and [[Cannot Spit It Out|doesn't dare to ask her out]].
* Much of the drama in the second season of ''[[Da Capo]]'' arises from one character refusing to accept this concept. It only makes the shipping wars worse.
* In ''[[Blood Plus+]]'', use of this trope could be attributed to several characters, the most notable being Mao and Haji. After Mao finds out that her boyfriend has fallen for another woman, she spends the next episode making sure they get to spend some Quality Time together. Haji, meanwhile, spends the vast majority of the series doing whatever it is that will make Saya happy, and does his best to stay by the wayside (however, he also somewhat subverts the trope in later episodes, when Saya is nearly whisked off {{spoiler|by the infatuated Solomon}}, and Haji makes it clear that he is Not Pleased).
** Hilariously enough, once {{spoiler|Saya makes it clear that she returns Haji's unspoken feelings, ''Solomon'' invokes this trope, and decides that even though they'll never be together romantically, he'll still do his damnedest to protect her so she can get the chance to be happy with Haji.}} Not so hilariously, {{spoiler|this gets him killed by his former comrades, with Saya being none the wiser.}}
* ''[[Victorian Romance Emma]]'' has Eleanor and Hans fitting into this category.
