{{quote|'''Thomas:''' Moron. Thank God [[Big Bad|Nicodemus]] is a man.}}
* There's a bit in the ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'' when Ekaterin Vorsoisson not only doesn't realize that Miles is stealthily courting her; she also doesn't realize what it means that she [[Violently Protective Girlfriend|becomes angry]] upon '''imagining''' some hypothetical Vor woman hurting Miles' feelings (which '''had''' happened often enough in reality).
** Ekaterin is not so much ''oblivious'' as she is ''actively in denial'' during this sequence; she is still so traumatized from her first (and highly abusive) marriage that she is violently averse to the idea of being romanced at all, and actively flees any attempts to court her. But she ''likes'' hanging out with Miles, which she cannot do if she admits to herself that Miles is one of her suitors as opposed to being a platonic friend, therefore she keeps on telling herself that Miles' friendship ''is'' platonic even when he's sending the least subtle signals in the history of dating.
