Line 33:
* [[Wolverine]] has this kind of relationship with most of the X-Women, Psylocke and Storm standing out among them. He'll go to amazing lengths to help them, and even harbors a bit of [[Big Brother Instinct]] towards any would-be suitors, but when it comes to getting in a relationship with them himself, it just doesn't seem to happen. Fans speculate this is due to his awareness of his own [[Cartwright Curse]].
** However Wolverine has pursued relationships with his teammates in alternate time-lines, including marrying Storm in a "What If?" and being involved with her in the war-torn alternate future in Days of Future Past. Not to mention his frequent (sometimes reciprocated) fixation with Jean Grey.
** Possibly with [[Squirrel Girl]] too, although his past with her is (much like most of his past) vague. If anything, she is the only one he is truly on [[First-Name Basis]] with.
** Also from ''[[X-Men]]'', Nightcrawler and Shadowcat have a similarly close relationship. They did once consider actually dating but decided it would just be too weird (partly due to the fact that she was also involved with Kurt's ''[[Heterosexual Life Partners|Heterosexual]]'' [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Life Partner]] Colossus.)
* [[Fantastic Four|The Thing and The Invisible Woman]] have this kind of relationship (early on Ben was actually in love with Sue, but that was just how [[Stan Lee]] [[Love Triangle|rolled]]).
* Dwight from [[Sin City]] is normally [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]] for women in-universe, but Miho does not seem to be in love with him. It doesn't stop [[Shipping]] [[Fan Fics]], however.
