* Owen Harper of ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]'', the series' [[Kavorka Man]], falls for a 1950s aviatrix who slips through a rift in time and, after a week-long affair and Owen's stumbling confession of love, flies right back through the rift and out of his life.

* Jack Harkness counts as this - beginning as a character in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', he was pretty much a con-artist who flirted with anything. Then he gets picked up by Rose and the Doctor, falls head over heels for the latter and ends up waiting for him to show up again for over ''one hundred years'' after they're separated. In the meantime he reworks the Torchwood Foundation from the ground up, removing a lot of the evil "in the Doctor's honour". He also gets madly flustered when trying to ask Ianto on a date in ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]'' and was married at some point.

* Barney Stinson, quoted above from ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]''. Sort of a subversion since he doesn't tone down his promiscuity at all (although he tries) for the sake of his new found love (at least until they actually get together).

* Joey on ''[[Friends]]'' had a brief thing for Rachel. However, it really started back when the girls practically threw one of his girls of the week at him and he realized what the rewards of a relationship could be.

** Noah "Puck" Puckerman, having dated Quinn, Rachel, Mercedes, Santana and half the Cougars in Lima, finds himself falling head over heels, to the point of joining Celibacy Club because he wants to be less of an "I'm a Man I can't help it" type guy, for Lauren Zizes, President of the AV club and only girl on the school's wrestling team, because she's as much of a [[Badass]] as him. She initially, despite being attracted to him, tells him they'll have to be [[Just Friends]] at first because "she needs to be wooed." And Puck - who formerly couldn't even get through an evening with Quinn without sexting Santana - is okay with this arrangement. In short - we have one Casanova who's found a love match!
