Line 4:
* Justin in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' has had a deep crush on Elliot for years, which at least one other character knows and several others may suspect, but Elliot himself has never picked up on it. Elliot himself pretended to be oblivious to Sarah's flirtations so she wouldn't feel 'rejected' when finding out he already had a girlfriend. Yeah ... [[It Makes Sense in Context]] ... or at least in his own mind. (His girlfriend dumped him, came out as a lesbian, and started dating his [[Half-Identical Twins|twin sister]] / [[Opposite Gender Clone]], Ellen. He and Sarah are now dating.)
** Mr. Verres, knowing there's a lot of Human-Uryuom offspring, managed to miss why his [[Humanoid Aliens|Uryuom]] [[Subordinate Excuse|secretary]] constantly wears a ''[[Hourglass Hottie|very]]'' female human form and likes to sit on his table. Though he ''is'' pretty smart (otherwise Lavender [[Bizarre Alien Biology|wouldn't be attracted]], for one).
*** On the other hand, Verres may be deliberately ignoring her. For one, it's not yet known what's going on with his last wife - Verres may be deliberately ignoring her. It'sTedd very heavily implied thatthinks she neither loves himher husband nor their son any more (at{{spoiler|- least by Tedd's viewpoint), andbut it's alsoturned impliedout that sheMr. mayVerres bedeliberately anlet immortalhim (magicalthink beingthis fromand another plane of existence) or at least an elf (human-immortal hybrid that sharesmaintains the distinctiveillusion. pointedAlso, ears of immortals).

* In ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', Lt. Elf had a major crush on Captain Tagon, a crush that was obvious to every member of the crew ''except'' Tagon. (Pretty much every attempt by Elf to broach the subject was interpreted by the one-track minded - and occasionally stunningly dense - Tagon as referring to their current mercenary job). She eventually gives up on Tagon and hooks up with Second-In-Command and company [[Mad Scientist]], Kevyn.▼
**** Jossed on the elf theory, [http://egscomics.com/?date=2012-01-17 this comic confirms that half-immortals can't have children].
** The incident involving the last girlfriend of Kaff Tagon ''could'' be one reason why his brain does its best to avoid this train of thoughts. It ''probably'' was the reason why he quickly found a job far from Celeschul as soon as possible to begin with.

* In ''[[Corner Alley 13]]'', Noelle fails to realize that [http://corneralley.comicgenesis.com/d/20040604.html Tsac has feelings for her].
* Elan, who is a [[Genre Savvy]] mix of [[The Ditz]], [[Spoony Bard]] and [[Cloudcuckoolander]] from ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', takes hundreds of strips, and dozens of hints, to finally reciprocate Haley's feelings.
