A situation common in works that aren't bound by No Hugging, No Kissing standards. Alice is being flirted with by Bob in such a manner that it's unambiguously clear that he has an interest in her. This interest can range from playful teasing to kissing or even going all the way.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })However, Bob has a reputation as The Casanova or Handsome Lech with a penchant for going through girlfriends faster than a box of tissues, which makes Alice believe that he only views her as another Girl of the Week or a Lust Object. This depresses Alice because she really does like Bob, but dreads the inevitable day when he will grow tired of her and move on to a new conquest.
Eventually Alice will have to ask Bob the titular question. Inevitably, the answer is no; Bob's interest in Alice is more than sexual desire (which is implicitly shallow) and on a deeper emotional level.
Sometimes, Bob will be so used to Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places that he doesn't realize his deeper feelings for Alice at first, and will have to learn that there really is a difference between lust and love.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Note that if Alice instead assumes wholeheartedly that she's "different" to Bob, Bob will almost always live up to his womanizing reputation and leave her heartbroken.
Also see Sex Equals Love which sometimes overlaps with this, though the focus here is on whether the sex or flirting is motivated by love or not. Compare Revenge Romance, if they really are a toy.

The protagonist in HoneyWorks' song "Mean Encounter" is a playboy who uses sweet words to flirt with girls. Over the course of the song, he fell in love with a girl who is immune to his charms. She started to reciprocate his feeling, but near the end of the music video, she saw him sweet talk other girls to get out of trouble, causing her to wonder if the things he's said to her is all a lie.

Dragon Age: Inquisition: A potential conversation the Inquisitor can have with a romanced Solas, after he reveals that he was actually the Greater-Scope Villain of the games and Corypheus's plan was just a bastardized version of his plan to merge the real world and the Fade. Solas confirms that his feelings for her were real, he just feels honor-bound to remove the Veil and ultimately couldn't let his relationship with the Inquisitor stand in the way.

In Iron Man, there are shades of this with Pepper and Tony's relationship. After they slow dance at a party, they go out on the balcony where Pepper has a minor freakout, partly because Tony's reputation as a Casanova makes her insecure about his intentions. Further complicated by the fact that she really is attracted to him.

My Huntsman Academia: Inverted. After learning that Izuku Cannot Talk to Women, Yang quickly develops a habit of acting flirtatiously around him to watch him stutter and blush for a quick laugh. But while they're hanging out in Vale over Color Week, she asks him if he feels like she's bullying him with her antics and promises to stop if he wants her to. The question initially stuns Izuku, who decides to disabuse her of that notion and thanks her for bringing him out of his shell and helping him feel more comfortable around girls.

In the My Name Is Earl Flashback episode "Guess Who's Coming Out of Joy," Joy has been cheating on Earl with Darnell. She suggests getting down in the freezer at the Crab Shack, which does not appeal to Darnell. He then asks her, "Why's it always gotta be just sex with us? I want to go to the movies, like a normal couple!" The two proceed to argue, and (temporarily) end their relationship.

In the Harry Potter fic "Apex Predator", while neither Fleur or Harry have acknowledged it, this is a good description of their initial relationship. As a Veela, Fleur is used to finding most of the boys she dates to be arrogant bores, only enjoying short-term flings so that she can have sex and dump her partners when it's convenient. While initially drawn to Harry as she is intrigued by him being both a powerful wizard and a submissive personality, she swiftly becomes more emotionally attached to him than she expected, and while Harry isn't fully aware of Fleur's cultural attitude towards such relationships, he has already asserted himself when Fleur nearly "punished" him for a completely inadvertent offence to such an extent that Fleur actively apologised for her mistake. Fleur later expresses dread at the idea of other Veela trying to take Harry from her and basically turn him into a breeding tool, recognising that Harry needs and deserves emotional support beyond just a chance to enjoy having sex.

Berserk: Casca seems to imply this after she and Guts make love when he returns to aid the Hawks one year after he had left. He tells her his plans of leaving again after their leader Griffith is rescued, which leaves Casca thinking of Guts as a selfish bastard who is ready to forget about her. Then he tells her to come with him.

Steven Universe:
Sadie and Lars share an obvious Belligerent Sexual Tension, but there's an implication they have a physical (and possibly sexual) Secret Relationship. It's also obvious the "secret" part is all from Lars fearing he could be seen as uncool for it, and Sadie makes it clear in "Joking Victim" and "The New Lars" that she hates Lars being such a fairweather friend/lover.
In "We Need to Talk", Greg worries that he's just a passing "playmate" for Rose, but turns out Rose doesn't really understand how serious a relationship is (especially since she and Greg are different species) but both agree to make it work between them.

In Helluva Boss, Blitzo (a low-class imp who runs an assassination business) and Stolas (a demon prince of Hell) meet once a month on the night of the full moon to have sex, a "favors for favors" system Stolas set up because Blitzo needs the prince's grimoire to access the living world and keep his business afloat. Stolas began showing actual feelings for Blitzo, but could also barely carry on a conversation with him that wasn't overtly sexual and hardly ever treated him as an equal. While Blitzo is hesitant to admit his feelings about Stolas, it's clear that he feels like Stolas views him as nothing more than a plaything, and he finally tells Stolas as much at the end of the episode “OZZIE’S”.

Early on in the Gravitation manga, Shuichi confronts Yuki on his sleeping around with women even after he's agreed to take Shuichi as his lover, demanding to know where he stands among all these women. Yuki replies that he's the first one... in stupidity, anyway. Later events prove that he really does care for Shuichi as more than a sex toy, though.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
In the episode "Hush", Anya complains that Xander doesn't have any strong feelings for her and believes the only thing he cares about is "lots of orgasms." She's proven wrong when Xander assaults Spike, believing him to be attacking her and drinking her blood.
When they have their first serious squabble in "Tough Love", Willow accuses Tara of thinking that Willow is just using her to indulge a Gay Romantic Phase.
Spike also accuses Buffy of this once they start sleeping together. While she admits to having feelings for him on some level, the combination of her self-loathing, depression, and their different moral positions due to his soulless nature makes it impossible for her to truly love and accept him. Meaning, for the most part, he's entirely correct.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi: One reason why Lan Wanji didn't like it when Wei Wuxian flirted with others in the past was because it gave off the impression that the latter wasn't taking people's feelings seriously, including his interactions with Lan Wangji himself. This issue comes up again in the present timeline when they have their first physically intimate moment; Wei Wuxian's poor phrasing ruins the moment as he makes it sounds like he was only showing his gratitude to Lan Wangji, making the latter question how his companion truly values him. What doesn't help afterwards is that Wei Wuxian brushes it off by saying that such things are normal and that it can happen to anyone, which leaves Lan Wangji stung and hurt.

Katawa Shoujo:
Surprisingly, Hanako's path inverts this. Hanako allows Hisao to have sex with her because she doesn't want him to keep seeing her as a child that needs to be protected.
Turns up in Emi Ibarazaki's path as well. Hisao thinks this may be the case, as she sleeps with Hisao multiple times, but doesn't want him to get closer to her emotionally. Thankfully, he realises her reasoning behind this and the pair eventually overcome their difficulties.
