Line 27:
* In ''[[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]]'', Peter tells Aldous that while he has many reasons to hate him, the main one being that he's the guy Sarah dumped him to be with, he can't deny that Aldous is a cool guy too. But then it's subverted a minute later when Aldous lets slip that [[Your Cheating Heart|he and Sarah had begun seeing each other a year before she and Peter actually broke up]], enraging Peter.
* [[Spellman Files]] has this go on with Maggie. Isabel (and her sister Rae to some extent) don't really want her to settle down with Henry, but both Spellmans can't help but like Maggie. {{spoiler|Luckily for them, Maggie breaks up with Henry and becomes their future sister-in-law instead.}}
* ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]'' is entirely about this trope. By extension, ''[[Kiss Me Kate]]'' and ''[[
* In ''[[A Moment of Peace]]'', Ito feels this way toward Crux on first meeting. Crux is [[All Love Is Unrequited|the unrequited crush of his unrequited crush.]]
* Discussed in ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]'', when Navani tells Dalinar that she really tried to hate his (now deceased) wife, but couldn't because she was too nice.
* On ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', Heloise begins dating Peep to [[Operation: Jealousy|make Jimmy jealous]]. It works, but to her suprise Jimmy and Peep hit it off quite well on non-Heloise topics.

It probably helps that the woman pulls a [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]. (Made weirder because "the other woman" turned out to be {{spoiler|Ray's ''[[You Look Like You've Seen a Ghost|dead]]'' wife, whom he felt reluctant to move on from}}.
* In ''[[When Harry Met Sally...]]'', this is Sally's response to Harry's [[Love Confession]] at the end.
* ''[[Plan B]]'' takes this trope to its logical extreme with Bruno's attempts to sabotage Pablo's relationship with his ex Laura going awry when he finds himself liking Pablo as not only a best friend, [[Queer Romance|but a love interest too]].
* In [[The Hunger Games]] trilogy, Gale admits to Katniss that he has a hard time hating Peeta because Peeta's so likeable, despite being a competitor for Katniss's affections.
