Bob has feelings for Alice,<ref>(Though gender reversals are commonplace)</ref>
* 1. Bob's expression changes when he looks at Alice to one of love (though only if she isn't looking).
Line 33:
* In ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' most of the characters have actually been caught ''by'' their romantic interest with looks of this, in both directions, sometimes they've actually been prompted by said interest. Save for Ayumu, none of them have had the nerve to actually confess though, so their lack of romantic knowledge ends up with it just being played for [[UST]].
** Actually, Ayumu is only the first (and she did so twice) of three to have confessed, Athena (though she then 'rejected' him, and then denied it as Alice) and Luca have as well (although Luca confessed to Hayate under the impression that he was female and added the condition that 'if he were a guy'). Hayate is just to clueless to have picked up on any of them.
** Hinagiku and Hayate have
* In ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]] 2.0'', Shinji does this to Rei a few times. There is even one instance when the situation is reversed: when Asuka is verbally murdering Shinji for forgetting their lunches, Rei is glancing at him above her shoulders. [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Rei]] [[Extreme Doormat|being]] [[Emotionless Girl|Rei]], this is highly unusual.
* Yusaku Godai of ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' does this to Kyoko a
* Chi gives this to Hideki a ''lot'' throughout ''[[Chobits]]'', {{spoiler|and so did Freya towards her creator/father Ichiro. Hideki even immediately recognizes the look when Chitose shows him the video}}.
Line 64:
** And in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Angel is always smoldering at Buffy, especially ''after'' they consumate their relationship and realize that they can't...[[Unusual Euphemism|consumate]], anymore. Later, Spike takes over the lovelorn vampire role and possibly mopes about even more than Angel, alternating between smoldering lust and sappy adoration.
** In "Who Are You?", Faith realises instantly from the look Tara gives Willow that the two are gay lovers.
* There's at least three of these in the pilot episode of ''[[Firefly]]'' between [[The Captain|Mal]] and the [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold|courtesan]] Inara. In fact, any time the two of them are together in a scene, either they just miss seeing a
* The 2000s ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' has Lee Adama giving Kara Thrace quite a few of these and Kara giving him a few right back, though the [[Held Gaze]] is far more common between the two of them - to the point where it's better known as [[Fan Nickname|"the eyefrak"]].
* Booth is always giving [[Bones]] these long soulful looks, especially later in the series when the [[UST]] becomes [[Everyone Can See It|the world's worst kept secret]].
Line 121:
* Aang of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has all three varieties for Katara.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'': Homer and Marge show this in a few episodes.
* ''[[Exo Squad]]'': Maggie Weston and Alec De Leon share a few, as do J. T. Marsh and Colleen O'Reilly; but neither of them hold a candle to the looks that Nara Burns gives Marsala. The
