Line 167:
** Kaworu also does this in the manga, after ironically having Rei's love for Shinji essentially Xerox'd onto him by the 16th. He asks if Shinji if what he's feeling is love and tries to romantically advance on him after ''kissing Shinji while he was hyperventilating.'' [[All Love Is Unrequited|It doesn't end well]].
** ''Rebuild 2.0'' handles the heavy Shinji/Rei subtext very well: at one point, Shinji makes lunch for Rei who reacts with a blush and thanks him; later on, she wonders why did she do that when she never thanks anyone. In another instance, Asuka questions Rei about her feelings towards Shinji and she responds that she feels "warm and content" around him but doesn't know why.
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Sousuke for the majority of the story. He ''completely'' didn't understand what it meant for someone to be in love (as shown when Kaname was trying to explain to him what a love letter was, and what it means when a girl is in love with him, and again when a discussion between Sousuke and Kaname shows he doesn't know the difference between kissing and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation). That part pretty much moves him from just being a [[Chaste Hero]] into being a human robot that doesn't understand the concept of "love."
* ''[[Baccano!]]''
** Chane Laforet from is roughly aware of love entails but, [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|because of]] [["Well Done, Son" Guy|the way]] [[Manipulative Bastard|her father]] [[Tyke Bomb|raised her]], the idea that anyone could possibly care about her for who she is rather than for what she can do for them is so utterly foreign that {{spoiler|Claire's proposal}} and [[Martyr Without a Cause|Jacuzzi]]'s unconditional concern for her nearly lead her to [[Heroic BSOD|BSOD]] [[What Is This Feeling?|from the confusion]]
