{{quote|''Look, what happened between us was important to me, and I thought it meant something to you too. But clearly Elsa means more to you than I do.''|'''Alejandra''', ''La Verdad Oculta''}}
Alice and Bob (though gender reversals are common here) have decided that they want to pretend to be a couple to [[Operation: Jealousy|make their exes jealous]], or pretend they're [[Happily Married]] to make sure [[Citizenship Marriage|Bob isn't deported]], or decide that sex doesn't need to have an emotional attachment and become [[Friends With Benefits]].
It all goes along swimmingly, until Bob starts feeling something for Alice. It can start by finding out she and he are very compatible, or as a jealous [[Green
Alice may or may not have feelings for Bob, but even if she does she'll defiantly say that their time together "[[It Doesn't Mean Anything|meant nothing to me]]", to which Bob will plead his love with "It meant something to me, dammit!" This might be substituted with "I felt something!" and "I felt nothing!" Of course, Bob will storm off heartbroken that the woman he loves has just shot him down like a World War One observation balloon.
Line 10:
If Alice ''really'' doesn't have feelings for Bob, then it's heartbreak time (happily, Bob will likely come to realize he's been [[Oblivious to Love|thoroughly neglecting]] Claire and [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends|hook up with her]]). If she does, she's likely been denying her feelings, something another character will have to spell out to her very plainly before she realizes she loves Bob, and goes after him seeking forgiveness.
Compare [[Becoming the Mask]]. May also be stated after asking the question, "[[Was It All a Lie?]]"

** The walk outs were over assumed after porno "just for fun" sex. So they probably viewed it as "He/She doesn't care about me at all since he/she is screwing with the other actors off the job!" If memory serves, neither had sex with the other porn actors off camera.
* In ''Life as We Know It'', Holly and Messer are forced to live together like husband and wife and raise their goddaughter after her parents die. Of course, they hate each other, but grow to like each other. After it gets too serious, Messer leaves for a job in Phoenix. He comes back for Thanksgiving, after which Holly gets with [[Romantic False Lead|Sam]]. Messer admits that he actually loved Holly.

Line 54:
* On ''[[Will and Grace]]'', it is revealed that an old girlfriend of Leo's, Diane, is the only woman Will ever had sex with. He attempts to comfort a jealous Grace by telling her it meant absolutely nothing and he only did it to verify his gayness, whereupon Diane bursts out that it meant a lot to her and was in fact the only time she'd ever had an orgasm.

* On ''[[Mad Men]]'' Don Draper had sex with Allison, his secretary, during one of his drunken binges and tries to pretend that it never happened. The woman seems to go along with it for a while and then snaps, throws stuff at him and quits.
