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....
 
[[Shock Value Relationship]] is a [[Super-Trope]].

* ''[[Drake and Josh]]'':
{{quote|'''Drake''': I hate your girlfriend, but her idea to make Tori jealous was really smart.
Line 95 ⟶ 96:
* ''[[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.
* ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20141006173003/http://www.eeriecutiespixietrixcomix.com/stripseerie-eccuties/(chapter_9)_big_girls_do_not_cry2010-07-21 Chapter 9: Big girls don't cry] started with Melissa tried to pull "Operation Breakup" on Layla & Kade just to knock her rival down a peg. She even pointed out that they can't do it the easy way (right on the next page). This [[Gone Horribly Wrong]] very fast.
** 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].
{{quote|'''Leia''': ''Nevermind'', I thought Han was coming this way.
