* Hilshire from ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]'' is this, starting with Maria Machiavelli's hints that they should work out their relationship and going all the way up to obliviously ruining the atmosphere Triela made with a candlelit dinner. Considering her cyborg nature, and how much of that affection may be conditioning, which she admits she has difficulty telling apart (until a more recent chapter, she gets a [[Love Epiphany]] and indeed realises that her feelings for Hilshire are genuine), it's understandable. However, Hilshire still remains oblivious even to the increased affection she shows him after said epiphany, although the fact he was asleep (due to the painkiller from hastily administered field medicine) when it came to her and when she kissed him, it's also somewhat understandable. |

* ''[[Madoka Magica]]'': Kamijou Kyousuke's failure to notice that Sayaka even ''likes'' him is impressive, given how much she dotes on him. [[ |

** Not to mention how [[Deconstructed|screwed up]] this trope gets. {{spoiler|Sayaka makes his arm better via a contract, but Kamijou doesn't know it and simply doesn't keep up with her feelings. Then, their common friend Hitomi reveals to have a crush on Kamijou and, midguidedly trying to not make things even awkward, tells Sayaka that [[You Have 48 Hours|she has 24 hours to confess her love]]. [[Awful Truth|Given the angst she had already been put through,]] [[Break the Cutie|poor Sayaka snaps like a twig]]. [[Sanity Slippage|In more ways]] [[Fallen Hero|than one]].}} |

* Guts from ''[[Berserk]]'' never really bothered to realize that Casca wanted him to stay with the Hawks - not solely because Griffith was so dependent on Guts as chief member of the Hawks - because she was falling in love with him. And the fact that he was so convinced that she was in love with Griffith {{spoiler|even though he himself had a growing attraction to Casca at the time but refused to acknowledge their relationship as anything other than "[[Just Friends|friends]]"}} and wished the both of them happiness after he was gone [[Completely Missing the Point|didn't help]]. |
