A specific type of [[Zany Scheme]]: Two characters, [[Alice and Bob]], are an [[Official Couple]]... or they would be, if Bob wasn't [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|so mired in the river of denial]] that he insists that the water flowing all around him is solid ground. Alice, who is not in denial and ''very'' aware of Bob's feelings, gets fed up with his refusal to [[Cannot Spit It Out|spit them out]] and takes matters into her own hands. Confronting him directly with the [[Subtext|evidence]] might cause him to run for the hills, so Alice gets into a faked or temporary relationship with [[The Beard|Convenient Charley]], to make Bob insanely [[Green-Eyed Monster|jealous]] enough to come clean first.
Line 15 ⟶ 17:
Very unlikely to be [[Truth in Television]] for anyone with serious feelings, as most people who believe they are in love try to ''avoid'' upsetting the people they think they're in love with. Also using people is a mean thing to do especially when the person doesn't know. Then again....

* The first appearance of "Bowsette" (a fanmade [[Distaff Counterpart]] of Bowser) was inspired by the end of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where both Bowser and Mario try to woo Peach, only for her to reject them both. The comic [https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/09/24/bowsette-nintendo-mario-comic-that-started-it-all/ (shown here)] suggests Bowser becomes Bowsette using the Super Crown as part of a ploy with Mario to make Peach jealous.

{{quote|'''Drake''': I hate your girlfriend, but her idea to make Tori jealous was really smart.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Spike does this on a couple of occasions when Buffy rejects his advances. [[Played for Laughs]] when the girl Spike chats up turns out to be a [[Robot Girl]] who responds by [[Destination Defenestration|throwing Spike through a window]]. Played straight in "Hell's Bells" when Spike brings a [[Goth]] girlfriend to Anya's wedding after Buffy dumps him. Buffy acknowledges that she is hurt and Spike, no longer angry at her, just leaves quietly.
* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'': Sheldon tries to ask Penny out in an attempt to make Amy jealous. Penny sees right through it and convinces him to just go tell Amy how he feels.

* In ''[[Treading Ground]]'', [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] Rose attempts this before her friend can explain this was ''not'' what she had in mind. It sinks her wrecked relationship even deeper.
* In [http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/250 this strip] of ''[[Loserz]]'', one girl (name's Carla) ''thinks'' this is the case.
* In ''[[Misfile]]'', James and Cassiel are doing this to try and break up their exes Ash and Rumisel and reclaim them. Thanks to the main plot of the comic (Ash is a boy who was [[Gender Bender]]'d by cosmic screw-up, Rumisel's just pretending to date "her" to keep other guys away), it's extremely unlikely to succeed.

** Later Layla was playing Buridan's ass with Kade and Dio (her "fiance" from Europe), and Chloe had a crush on the latter. So Chloe tricked Layla to [[Violently Protective Girlfriend|defend Kade in her impulsive style]], shouting "Get your stinking claws off by boyfriend!!!" — in front of Dio, of course.
* ''[[Blue Milk Special]]'' had Leia [http://www.bluemilkspecial.com/?p=3592 doing this].
