Line 44: * In a similar [[Jane Austen]] example, Edmund Bertram of ''[[Mansfield Park]]'' spends some time shipping his future wife Fanny Price with Henry Crawford. * ''Only In The Movies'' combines this with [[Playing Cyrano]]. Vanni, a bright but unnatracive girl plays Cyrano for her close friend Jake, despite having a huge crush on him. Don't worry: he figures it out eventually. * In an [[L. M. Montgomery]] story "The Education of Betty", a man, having been the best man while his best friend marries his true love, then did his best for the widow and orphan. When the girl is grown up, he tries to pair her with a man his own age, and demands to know why she ~~refused -- whereupon~~refused—whereupon she declares her love. Prior to that, his awareness had been limited to realizing that her mother was not so perfect after all, lacking her daughter's spirit. Line 66: == Theatre == * The original ''[[Cyrano De Bergerac]]'' ~~-- that~~—that is, the original play, not the [[wikipedia:Cyrano de Bergerac\|real person he's very loosely based on]] ~~-- provides~~—provides a retrospective [[Matchmaker Crush]]. Cyrano has been in love with his cousin Roxane for years before she and [[Romantic False Lead]] Christian (who happens to be a friend of Cyrano) first meet, and Cyrano helps hook them up because [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]], not because he likes the False Lead. * Viola in ''[[Twelfth Night]]'' ends up [[Playing Cyrano]] when she's disguised as a boy and the man she's fallen in love with sends her to the girl ''he'' likes with love messages. Then the girl falls in love with ''her''.... * Julia in ''[[Two Gentlemen of Verona]]'', worried about her love interest who's been away, disguises herself as a boy and follows him. To her dismay, she finds him running after a different girl, and when he doesn't recognize her in her disguise she ends up delivering a love note for him. Line 83: * In ''[[Rumbling Hearts]]'', Mitsuki does her best to hook Takayuki up with Haruka, only to end up paired with him after the accident. Granted, she had a secret crush on him before that but it only fully blossoms after Takayuki and Haruka start going out with her help. * Rider in ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', judging by Hollow Ataraxia. She's clearly pushing Sakura and Shirou together the best she can (very awkward, uncomfortable and dangerous-feeling way) in Heaven's Feel, but in the sequel she's revealed to have something of an attraction to him as well. Oh, and Sakura gets [[Yandere (disambiguation)\|very]] jealous when Shirou admits that Rider is very beautiful and he likes her. He means it in a completely platonic way, but Sakura's self esteem isn't very good. ** Interestingly enough, being nice to Rider still gets you Sakura ~~points -- and~~points—and this includes the scene where Shirou says Rider is pretty. [[OT3]]? * In [[Katawa Shoujo]], we have {{spoiler\|Misha doing this in Shizune's route. In a subversion, Misha isn't in love with Hisao... [[Schoolgirl Lesbians\|but with]] ''[[Schoolgirl Lesbians\|Shizune]]''.}} ** This ''may'' have happened in {{spoiler\|Lilly}}'s path too. {{spoiler\|With Hanako developing feelings for Hisao, but choosing to not reveal them since she can clearly see that Hisao is smitten with Lilly.}}
