One of the oldest and most basic plots goes thus: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy regains girl. Details vary, but those are the major Narrative Beats. For example, in Romeo and Juliet: boy (Romeo) meets girl (Juliet). Boy loses girl (due to infighting between their crazy families that ends up with two people dead and boy being banished). Boy finds girl again (in her tomb, so he kills himself, but it turns out she was Not Quite Dead and...you know what, you already know the ending). In fact, there are so many examples of this trope (the massive quantities of romantic comedies, for instance) that this page is merely going to list interesting variations, subversions, and inversions. Despite the trope title, Boy Meets Girl can also refer to stories where Boy Meets Boy, Girl Meets Boy, and Girl Meets Girl. Chic and Awe and Meet Cute are a subtropes of these. Not related to X Meets Y. See also Boy Meets Ghoul. Examples |

Matt and Gilly from Dork Tower are achingly perfect for each other. Both gamers, both comic book fans, both cosplayers, both from the same town in Wisconsin. Too bad Matt keeps salvaging his relationship with his gamer-hating girlfriend and Gilly doesn't know he exists. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild plays with this. Boy meets girl. Boy meets other girl, who coincidentally has the blood of the goddess (no biggie). Girl with blood of goddess sends OG girl to die at the hands of an ancient evil. Boy and girl with blood of goddess live happily ever after??? | |

The first few chapters of Freedom's Limits generally revolve around this; Madavi meets Smador while he's stealing food from the kitchens and they become friends. When Barad-dûr collapses due to the destruction of the One Ring, Smador helps Madavi escape, then leaves to help the other Orcs and they are separated, with Madavi not knowing if he made it out. Months later, she and Smador meet up by chance while Smador is looking for food and they rekindle their relationship. | |

The 1950 film Sunset Boulevard is interesting in how it subverts it: it's ostensibly a Film Noir, but a boy does meet a girl in the beginning. Except the girl is a fading film star. Then he meets another girl in the middle of the film, which might actually do the trope straight, except we know that he dies in the end. Interesting in that the first girl does love him, but he hates her. The end? It's the opening shot! |

The entire premise of I am [REDACTED] is Izuku Midoriya meeting Ochako Uraraka in a post-canon Alternate Universe where Izuku went to a private American school for hero training instead of UA, so he could maintain a Secret Identity when he returned to Japan to become an official pro-hero. Ochako first meets Izuku when she visits his family's bakery on a whim, and then meets his alter-ego, the Number One Hero Nimbus/Redacted, at a villain attack later that morning. The conflict of the story is Izuku trying to meditate between his growing feelings for Ochako and his urge to keep her at arm's length to maintain his Secret Identity and keep both his family and her safe. | |

Silent Hill 2: There is something to the trope with James and Maria in one ending. Boy mourns over dead wife. Boy meets girl who reminds him of wife. Boy protects girl from town full of monsters. Girl wants to get into boy's pants. Girl is actually a hallucination created from the guilt James has for Mercy Killing his wife who wants to trap him forever in his delusion. Girl then goes One-Winged Angel and boy repeatedly shoots girl. Depending on how you play the game, James had different reasons for killing Mary, from euthanasia to being exhausted from dealing with her illness so long to a little of both. There's even an ending where boy and girl leave Silent Hill together but the game hints that it won't end any better this time. |

This is how Guts and Casca's relationship grew in Berserk. Boy meets girl on opposite sides of a battle and joins her mercenary group. Boy and girl fight together and fall in love. Boy and girl are torn apart by a horrible demonic sacrifice that ends in girl being driven mad and everyone else getting eaten alive. Boy leaves girl to pursue vengeance against the leader of the mercenary group responsible for said demonic sacrifice. Boy finds girl again at the Tower of Conviction after realizing he had made a mistake in leaving her alone and going through hell and high water to save her. Now he just has to find a cure for her insanity so they can, you know, actually be together. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya can be boiled down to: boy meets girl. Girl turns out to be a Reality Warper. It's even lampshaded in the anime. In the first chronological episode of the anime adaptation, as Kyon says "and so we met" in his narration, the scene zooms in on the male sign in the boys' bathroom, followed by zooming in on the female sign of the girls' bathroom. | |

With the way the series finale played out, Star vs. the Forces of Evil can be summarized as this. With the series' Arc Words 'Cleaved' applying more to the protagonists' relationship than anything else in the show. A hyper-energetic magical princess from another dimension meets a safety-minded earth boy who aids her to become a little more responsible in exchange of bringing a little more excitement into his life.

Billy Wilder, the director of Sunset Boulevard, loved to play with and subvert this trope. Double Indemnity was a "boy meets girl and plans to kill girl's husband for money" story. The Seven Year Itch is a "boy meets girl, even though he's married, and has fantasies about her" story. A Song Is Born is a "whole group of boys meet a girl and together they sing jazz" story. Some Like It Hot is "boy meets girl while on the run from the mob and dressed up as a girl". | |

Played very straight in the beginning of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where boy meets girl and embarks on a journey to find the girl's lost homeland and save the world. Boy later meets the other personality of the girl, and then boy loses the girls and fights to get them back. At the very end of the final chapter – aptly titled "And thus, boy met girl" – the girls pull a Heroic Sacrifice, but soon come back to meet the boy again. | |

In Sk8 the Infinity, among the Cast Full of Pretty Boys, this is the personal storyline for the protagonists Langa and Reki, who have a Meet Cute, become very close friends, lose each other, and find each other again, seeming to have an increasingly implied crush on each other throughout, with the near-textual yet Ambiguously Gay Langa expressing that Reki is his Implied Love Interest several times by its conclusion. | |

In Xenosaga, played with and subverted between Shion and Kevin: Shion meets Kevin as a child; he dislikes her simple and naive attitude, and she's too young to have an opinion of him. Eventually, Kevin learns to love Shion, and they have a budding relationship together as two scientists and two lovers. But then, Kevin dies. Finally, in Episode III, Shion finds Kevin again, and he's become immortal. She finds she cannot be with him anymore because of the implications it would bring and decides to go with Allen Ridgely, who has had a crush on her for the entire series but Cannot Spit It Out until he tries to win her back from Kevin. | |

Sigurd and Deirdre from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. The boy saves the girl from being harassed by a thug. They fall in love, get married and have a child. Then the girl gets kidnapped by a Big Bad. When the boy reunites with her, tragedy strikes: Deirdre has been brainwashed and cannot remember her husband at all, while Sigurd dies a horrible death at the hands of her new husband. Seliph and Julia in the second generation are Generation Xerox, though they are much less tragic and much more platonic/familial (unless you glitch the game). | |

The Princess Diaries is also shown as another subversion of the classic "Boy meets girl" story involving a serious Disney-ified case of "Boy meets princess, boy loves princess, boy loses princess (due to a jealous cheerleading posse), boy finds princess again (while running away from home in her light blue Ford Mustang, still out in the rain all alone)". The name of the princess is none other than Princess Mia Thermopolis (portrayed by Anne Hathaway). | |

Teen Beach Movie (and its sequel) is one of the classic "Boy meets girl" love stories, in which it had Brady (Ross Lynch) falling for Lela (Grace Phipps) while "Mack" ([McKenzie]) (Maia Mitchell) who is also falling for Tanner (Garrett Clayton), resulting in a 1960s beach-side The Prince and the Pauper fairytale of two people who switch places (most probably a girly surfer and her companion who accidentally switch places/fall in love with another girl and her romantic boyfriend). A power mad scientist (and his minion) gets in the way of the 1960s beach-side "Boy meets girl" love story by kidnapping Brady and Mack altogether as their evil plans are foiled coincidentally by Lela and Tanner. | |

Star Wars Legends has Luke and Mara, though a lot of other things were happening at the time. Timothy Zahn, in a panel, said he is aware of this trope, but believes that there are three basic treatments of that plot: The American novel, wherein boy meets girl and then loses girl; the French novel wherein boy meets girl, gets girl, and then boy and girl decide that they don't want each other after all; and the Russian novel wherein boy meets girl, never gets girl, and broods about it for 800 pages. |

When the girl's father dies of a disease and she has to move to London, and the boy's parents die in a car accident so he's forcibly hauled off to an Arranged Marriage. Boy doesn't want this, so he runs away from home, and throughout the series tries his best to be in girl's life by leaving her small gifts and messages. Boy sets off a chain of events that help the girl find her long-lost mother, and after the boy's ex-betrothed accepts he's moved on and also moves on with someone else, girl and boy live together happily ever after. | |

West Side Story famously uses this trope with the characters Tony and Maria- unsurprisingly, seeing as the play is based on one of the most iconic examples of the trope of all time, Romeo and Juliet. | |

Adam (2009) is a film about a young man with Asperger's Syndrome living alone in a Manhattan apartment after his father's death. He meets his neighbour Beth, a teacher and aspiring children's author, over laundry and the two form an awkward friendship which eventually becomes an awkward romance. It doesn't work out, sadly. | |
