Line 2:
 
* The entirely one-way drama plays out in ''[[A Moment of Peace]]''. Crux, god of In-Between Places, is completely oblivious to the fact that the goddess of Stories has been crushing on him ever since they started talking at the base of Dawn Mountain.
* 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 SexGender 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|verysomewhat exaggerated]]'' 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.

**** Jossed on the elf theoryEventually, [http://egscomics.com/?date=2012comic/party-01-17008 this comic confirms that half-immortals can't have childrenhappens].
* 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.
** His father ignored the signs until someone [//www.schlockmercenary.com/2019-08-23 spelled it out] for him, too<sup>spoilers!</sup>.
** The incident involving both mother and the last girlfriend of Kaff Tagon {{spoiler|dying horribly}} ''could'' be one reason why their brains avoid this particular train of thoughts. It may be one of the reasons why Tagon Jr. 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.
Line 12 ⟶ 14:
* Andrew Smith of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' is an interesting case. He puts up with Parley because she's "hotter than hell", but manages to mistake her ''constant'' [[Tsundere]]-style signs of affection for mockery. Then two strangers told him straight. Then she reacted on giving her a flower ([[The Ace|a teacher]] [[The Matchmaker|set him up]]) by {{spoiler|''unconsciously teleporting them right into her bed''}}. And starts to [[Power Incontinence|spontaneously teleport]] close to him several times per week. And he ''still'' was in the deep stunned surprise when she confessed.
* Hank in ''[[Catena]]'' is absolutely clueless about the fact that Treiss has a crush on him. Bear also seems to be rather oblivious to Ivy's attraction to him, although to be fair, Ivy ''herself'' didn't seem to be aware of it until she noticed him paying attention to other females.
* ''[[Out There]]'': Sherry is ''so very much'' oblivious to [[Lipstick Lesbian|Ari]]'s attraction to her, she thinks that since Ari looks at her differently than she looks at Miriam, it means Ari's attracted to… Miriam. [http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20100601.html\] Meanwhile, Miriam, who has decided she's attracted to Ari, can't get Ari to realize it; Ari thinks she has embarrassed Miriam by offering her menial work. [http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20100407.html\]
* ''[[Megatokyo]]'': [http://megatokyo.com/strip/1182 The whole school has known about it for years.]
* Vriska Serket from ''[[Homestuck]]'' had no honest idea that her Moirail, Kanaya, was in love with her. In fact, she thought that Kanaya [[Epic Fail|had a crush on Tavros]], the object of Vriska's (hate-filled) affection. There's also another moment where Karkat opens a memo, invites John and Dave into it, and starts ripping into them about 'flirting' with Vriska and Terezi. Cue John being thoroughly confused.
