* Although he once speaks of having had other girlfriends, Ned from ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' pretty much only has eyes for Chuck, at one point telling her plainly that she's the only one for him. It's even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in "Smell of Success":

* Dick Solomon of ''[[3rd Rock From The Sun]]'' seems to be "Mary-sexual". Subverted in the third season when they broke up and he noticed other women for the first time.

** This is actually more of an aversion of this trope. From the beginning Dick was deeply interested in Mary, but any time they're not actually a couple he displays physical attraction to other women. There's also a period where he's having fantasies about Nina (and stupidly discusses it with Mary and Nina). However, he's only ever been in love with Mary and the few relationships and attractions he's had to other women have never been as powerful or important to him as her.

* Ianto Jones from ''[[Torchwood]]'' seems only capable of having infatuation with one person at time, which (might?) explain why he doesn't actually consider himself bisexual.

** Scully occasionally attempts to have relationships with other men, but her interactions with them are always forced. After her one date in the first season, the only other date we see her go on in the series, she's drugged. She is, essentially, Mulder-sexual from the time she meets him on.

* [[Sherlock]] and John are constantly assumed to be a couple despite John's initial vehement denial (Sherlock never really says anything about it). Irene (and possibly Mycroft), at least, seems to assume [[Ho Yay|John is in love with Sherlock]] [[Bromance|even if not sexually attracted to him]] (yes, it is possible). Sherlock, on the other hand, seems to utterly despise all people who aren't John. He shows a fascination with Irene because of her cleverness, but refers to John as his only friend (in "The Hounds of Baskerville"), and Molly once comments to Sherlock "You look sad when you think [John] can't see you". Moriarty certainly seems to ascribe to this theory as well, since his way of getting Sherlock to {{spoiler|(fake) commit suicide}} is to threaten John's life.
