Dogged Nice Guy	comment	This is when Bob is in love with Alice. Alice doesn't seem too interested, so Bob keeps trying, hoping that she will change her mind. This can play out in one of two ways: Spectacular Displays: If Bob and Alice are strangers or distant acquaintances when he falls for her, after the first confession that was turned down, he will show his affection in more and more spectacular ways to prove his serious intentions. Sometimes, the people around them will expect that Bob will eventually get together with Alice. Once Bob's displays of affection convince Alice to change her mind about him and give him a chance, the two will be portrayed as a normal couple. This is frequently used by romantic comedies or other shows/movies where they want to keep the audience asking Will They or Won't They? Low-Key Yearning: If Bob and Alice are either long-time friends or strangers who just got into a Just Friends relationship, Bob will take a more low-key route. Bob will likely begin by saying that he has his hopes for a more serious relationship, and he hopes Alice will eventually feel the same. He's content to be Platonic Life-Partners until that time comes. From here, he may remind her of his unrequited love every time he sees her, or he may never mention it again. Alice might refuse the Relationship Upgrade because she doesn't want to ruin this friendship, or else believe that Bob just has a schoolboy crush he'll get over. If Alice is in a relationship, Bob might try to accept it for Alice's sake. If Bob dates someone else in the interim, this may make Alice have a Green-Eyed Epiphany and create an Unrequited Love Switcheroo. In traditional straight examples, as long as Bob is honestly a Nice Guy, or at least a decent guy, both of these two attitudes are usually expected to result in success. Due to the Rule of Romantic, Alice will always realize over time that she really happens to love him back. In works made after the Turn of the Millennium, a more cynical take on the trope might be used to point out some ways this type of thinking could backfire, resulting in a Deconstructed Character Archetype. Spectacular displays might irritate the object of their affection by treating them like a video game sidequest, where more gifts and displays of affection will equal more attraction. It can also have implications of a Stalker with a Crush situation if Alice truly dislikes or even fears Bob. The low-key yearning sort might be portrayed either as a Manipulative Bastard, for whom the whole long-term friendship is just a means to an end, or tragically mistaken for not recognizing that Alice still only feels like they're Like Brother and Sister and reacts with extreme Squick to romantic gestures. Both types might be examined to show that Bob actually feels that he's Entitled to Have You and thinks that, since he's a "nice guy" who is interested in Alice, then Alice is morally obligated to date him; he Wants a Prize for Basic Decency. Both versions can also be depicted as Loving a Shadow, as in Bob is more in love with the idea of Alice as his perfect soulmate rather than the real deal. This 21st-century shift to harsher portrayals is due to the usual cycle of tropes and media trying to avert the implications that Men Act, Women Are, and that a romantic resolution depends solely on the man's determination. Gender-Inverted variations occur relatively often, typically with a natural-looking, down-to-earth Girl Next Door type who is determined to win over the male friend she secretly loves, hoping he will eventually learn to appreciate her wholesome charms (often contrasted to the flashier appeal of a high-maintenance, unworthy gold-digger). There's a gargantuan Double Standard in play here: a Dogged Nice Girl will often be portrayed more sympathetically than the Dogged Nice Guy, even if she's pushy or an extreme doormat, probably because Dogged Nice Girls will be seen as needing a man to feel fully whole in life and therefore not getting the guy they want will be more "tragic". Alternatively, Dogged Nice Guys are more frequently portrayed less favorably than their female counterparts because of the traditional implications of a man pushing a relationship versus a woman persistently pursuing a relationship. This can also have a same-sex variation, usually with a Darker and Edgier feel to the plot, but it's just as often to be Played for Laughs, especially if Incompatible Orientation is in play. See also Disposable FiancÃ©, Just Friends, I Want My Beloved to Be Happy, Hopeless Suitor, Unrequited Tragic Maiden, Nice Guy, and Romantic Runner-Up. This heavily relies on the Hard Work Fallacy. Compare with the less sympathetic Stalker with a Crush, Mad Love, and Abhorrent Admirer. Contrast Cannot Spit It Out, where the person is incapable of expressing their romantic interest even once, let alone over and over again. Please keep the Real Life examples limited to those that examine the Dogged Nice Guy (or Girl) as a trope.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_1195d5a0	comment	The Art of Manliness frequently criticizes this notion and personality type in a number of podcasts and articles. The main problem with these sorts of guys, in the website's opinion, is that they're really not anywhere near as nice as they think they are, in addition to being passive-aggressive and too insecure with themselves to be honest with how they feel.

He also repeatedly injures himself with his attempts to impress her, eventually making a Deal with the Devil and "paying the price for love" by becoming a freaky-looking three-legged monster. PB ends up creating a robot lookalike of herself for Braco to stop him from getting himself killed; he's uncomfortable with it at first, but the moment "P-Bot" shows physical attraction toward him he has a change of heart.

Hal seems likely to go the "spectacular romantic displays" route at first, his attempts to win Roxanne's attention are sympathetic at the very beginning but quickly turn creepy. Either way, it quickly becomes apparent that he is, at best, highly insensitive to her actual feelings, not to mention mildly delusional. In the end, far from winning her over, his childish attitude toward Roxanne contributes to his proving to be the villain of the piece.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_1331990c	comment	Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a tragic deconstruction of this trope. She loves Kyousuke, makes lots of things to earn his favor, and deeply wishes to be his girlfriend, but at the same time, she has serious self-esteem issues that leave her with a bad case of Cannot Spit It Out and in denial of her Dogged Nice Girl-dom. It even gets lampshaded by Mami: when Sayaka asks if a Magical Girl can make her wish for someone else's sake, she makes her an Armor-Piercing Question that basically amounts to "do you want to get him to be indebted to you and fall in love with you?" Even more tragically, when Kyousuke does not fall into Sayaka's arms after being healed through her Wish and she is left completely unable to confess her love due to the horrifying consequences of becoming a Magical Girl, she gradually loses her faith in herself and the world, and ends up becoming a Witch. So yeah, being a Dogged Nice Person in this Crapsaccharine World is a very bad idea.

Instead, Dr. Horrible/Billy finds himself shunted aside by his arch-nemesis Captain Hammer in the bid for her affections, and engages in increasingly stalker-like behavior as a result, culminating in a Murder the Hypotenuse plot that Goes Horribly Wrong. It's Played for Drama because the show makes it clear that Penny thought Billy was attractive, and probably would have willingly gone out with him. But she never did because Billy wouldn't just stop admiring her from afar and actually talk to her.

Swan fell in love with Juliet because she once defended him from cruel Jerk Jock bullies. Since Swan didn't know how to talk to her, he just pined from afar. Upon discovering that Juliet was dating Nick (one of the jocks, presumably the group that tormented him the most), he took it as the final straw. In summary, Swan decided to cause a zombie apocalypse because he was too shy to talk to the girl he liked and didn't understand why she was too busy to notice him.

To Ryuuki's credit, it's less that Shuurei isn't interested in him personally and more that she has goals which preclude the thought of romance entirely; even more to his credit, he really does genuinely want her to be happy, which is why he doesn't, as The Emperor, simply command her to be his consort and remain at the palace. But all things being equal, he'd prefer that she be happy with him, and he's prepared to wait forever, constantly giving her gifts and trying to think up ways to win her over.

The scientist acquiesces, and gives them a wedding present - a prototype youth-retaining serum, warning them that it's a single dose, and splitting it would be fatal. It turns out to be merely flavored water, allowing the scientist to prove the couple really didn't care for each other, as they had each drank and refilled the vial behind the other's back. She gets back together with the scientist to a hinted-at happy ending.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½: Many fans regard Mousse to be this to Shampoo. Other fans wonder if the guy will get to the point where Shampoo will not be obliged to kill him out of hand once she gets over Ranma and finds someone willing to return her (distinctly non-ambiguous) affection. The anime also has two moments that question Shampoo's feelings for Mousse — the second movie she's arguing against her captor that she has no feelings for Mousse then rescues him anyway. And in one OVA she's given the reverse necklace which reverses her feelings; Mousse finally thinks it's his chance since she'll love him now only for her to scream how much she hates him and beat him nearly to death. And then there's Ryoga, who is depressed over the fact that Akane sees him only as a friend and nothing more. Or rather, he would be a Dogged Nice Guy if it weren't for his bad case of Cannot Spit It Out. In the manga, he eventually acquires a female admirer (who even likes his curse) in Akari Unryuu, and by the end, he drops his romantic pursuit of Akane entirely in favor of her. (Making him the only character in the series to break out of the status quo... although he never actually confessed to Akane, either.)

He's flirted with Lisa too many times to count and even openly declared his love for her a few times, only for her to shut him down almost every time. Doesn't stop him from trying again...and again...and yet again. Although the characterization of him as a "nice guy" is a bit flimsy here, as he is less of a "nice guy", and more of a pretentious, socially-awkward dork with the makings of a future Evil Genius. Smithers is a more benevolent example of this trope. He's head-over-heels in love with his boss, Mr. Burns, who sees him more as a friend, confidant, and assistant. This doesn't stop Smithers from flirting with him anyway; Mr. Burns usually either doesn't notice or quickly changes the subject when this happens. And Smithers is usually pretty passive-aggressive whenever Mr. Burns starts dating anybody else.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_2b186988	comment	ShÅ�ko Nishimiya the main female protagonist of A Silent Voice has got this bad for the male protagonist Shoya Ishida having had a crush on him since elementary school (despite his bullying of her) and even more so after after he Took a Level in Kindness and becomes The Atoner. Tragically she is unable to properly reveal her feelings to him due to being deaf with her Speech Impediment leading to a particularly heartbreaking Anguished Declaration of Love that Shoya being Oblivious to Love mistakes for her saying â€œI love moonâ€�. Itâ€™s worth noting Shoya does eventually develop feelings for ShÅ�ko in return, itâ€™s just that his self-hatred is so severe that the idea that ShÅ�ko could love him in the first place after what he put her through simply doesnâ€™t compute with him at all and initially treated her more like a close friend that he had to make up to. Making matters worse is that ShÅ�ko almost commits suicide at seeing the anguish and pain sheâ€™s inadvertently brought to the boy she adores and is only just saved in time by Ishida himself.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_2b82b95f	comment	Freddie in iCarly towards Carly. He flits between a mild case of a Played for Laughs puppy dog crush in season 1, this in season 2, and I Want My Beloved to Be Happy in season 3. Although he doesn't especially qualify for either major type of this trope: he doesn't sabotage her relationships, but he was also pretty clear about liking her, whilst not being over the top in trying to woo her. As they grew up, Freddie and Carly went from being next-door buddies to true best friends. The final episode of the show has Carly giving him a romantic kiss. And now Freddie has a Spiritual Successor in A.N.T. Farm's Fletcher Quimby who serves just the same functions as Freddie did but minus the nerd tendency. And thankfully, no version of Sam to annoy him.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: The title character towards Sakura, until this was finally Defied in the Five Kage Summit arc. In Chapter 469, Sakura gave him her infamous fake love confession, which she tried to pull off in the hopes that he would stop trying to save Sasuke for her. Naruto easily saw right through her, called her out for lying, rejected her outright by telling her that he hates people who lie to themselves, and told her that The Promise he made to her in Part I was no longer the reason why he's still trying to save Sasuke; he has his own reasons now. He later revealed to Sai in Chapter 474 that he knew she always loved Sasuke. As it turns out, Naruto had been lying to himself about his own feelings for Sakura, because he never actually cared for her as anything more than a close friend or older sister. Once he finally moved on from his one-sided shallow crush on her, he eventually fell in love with and got Happily Married to Hinata. Likewise, Sakura was also a female version towards Sasuke in Part I before she got Character Development too. Chapter 539 provided us with an unknown ninja who is infatuated with Sakura, going as far as previously writing her a Love Letter, and attempting an "If I don't make it..." before being (very politely, at least in the anime) turned down by her (because she still loves Sasuke). Mind that they were in the middle of a war and it was a bit inappropriate at the time.

Then he meets Zoe Barnes and falls in love. He asked her out twice, but she blows him off both times. Meanwhile, she is having a sexual relationship with Frank Underwood, an ambitious political figure scheming to become President. Because she is also ambitious, she believes she can use him to expand her career. Once Frank is done using her, she gives Lucas a chance, but only because by then, she suspects Underwood might have committed murder and is using Lucas to help investigate. This leads to Frank Underwood killing her, leaving lovesick Goodwin devastated. He goes on a personal quest to try and expose Underwood, but because he has Villain with Good Publicity status, no one believes him. Eventually, he is set up by Underwood and thrown in prison. When he gets out, Frank Underwood is already President and more powerful than ever. He desperately tries again to expose him, but is once again rejected, leading him to an assassination attempt which fails and ends his life. All this over a woman who really didn't love him.

Jaune is initially head-over-heels with Weiss, and constantly makes it known with grandiose gestures, such as asking her to the ball by serenading her with a guitar. Weiss dismisses his efforts as a sign of a Gold Digger, leaving him turning to his team-mates for advice. Pyrrha tells him that the best way to win her over is to stop using crazy schemes and just have an honest discussion about how he feels. Taking her advice, he goes to find her, only to overhear her asking Neptune to the dance. When he learns that Neptune didn't accept her offer, he passes on Pyrrha's advice to Neptune, telling him to stop trying to be too cool to admit he can't dance and just be honest; he then moves on from Weiss, but Neptune telling Weiss the truth makes her realise that Jaune is a genuinely nice person, after all. They become good friends after that.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_37a71462	comment	Ã‰ponine of Les MisÃ©rables fame is a Older Than Radio Dogged Nice Girl for Marius whom only sees her as a pitiable wretch of a girl (in the musical he treats her more like a dear surrogate sister from the streets). In cruel irony for Ã‰ponine the girl who did win Marius's heart is Cosette who was abused and neglected by Ã‰ponine's family the ThÃ©nardiers. In the book, Ã‰ponine takes this trope a step further, making sure Marius missed the letter Cosette left him and getting Marius to join her at the barricades disguised so they can be as far she knew Together in Death. It's entirely possible had Ã‰ponine been from a wealthier and well-groomed status Marius might've returned her feelings which goes along with Victor Hugo's social commentary of the class system of the 1800s.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_3e2732b3	comment	Life Is Strange: The original game waffles back and forth between Max being selectively unaware of Warren's blatant crush on her one moment, yet plainly stating she already knows whenever any of her friends raises the issue. If Max friend zones him, he'll take it gracefully and remain a supportive friend to her. It isn't until their final scene together that Warren tries to express how he feels about her, but Max reveals that she's known all along. If Max chooses to kiss him at that moment, examining him immediately afterward prompts the following inner monologue: Life Is Strange: Before the Storm: Chloe is pursued by Eliot, with whom she hooked up with once but doesn't have any further interest in as a romantic partner even though she thinks he's a cool enough guy. He still delicately campaigns for her affections, suggesting activities and offering his support whenever he can. Chloe feels a bit awkward by how much he clearly pines for her. However, when he's finally had enough waiting, he reveals that he's actually been a Stalker with a Crush who feels he "deserves" her and so aggressively insists that she yield to his advances that Chloe has to call 911.

Detective Charles Boyle is initially hopelessly infatuated with Detective Rosa Diaz, which she makes clear on several occasions is a one-way relationship. This leads him to act in this fashion around her, but it eventually becomes clear that this is actually a bit creepy and weird of him and prompts those around him to view him with a certain degree of disdain. To his credit, however, he eventually realises that Diaz doesn't return his feelings, meets someone who does, and enters into a relationship with her instead. This in turn leads him to start acting more appropriately around Diaz, and he eventually apologises to her for his behaviour and acknowledges that he "wasn't much fun to be around". While the later relationship also ended, there's been no indication that Boyle has renewed his earlier interest in or pursuit of Diaz. There are also some hints that Boyle's behaviour might have had something to do with a recent divorce.

Eventually, after Packy dumps Arden, it works, and apparently she marries Tommy out of boredom. Until Packy shows up again, that is, and Tommy pulls out his gun.

Kara thinks they're Better as Friends. Winn eventually comes to agree with her, growing out of the archetype a bit and giving up any attempts to initiate a romance with her. His later relationships with other women are all founded on him being a Nice Guy, but not a Dogged Nice Guy.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_4f9d64ea	comment	The TV Adaptation of 10 Things I Hate About You badly miscalculates this with the character of Cameron. While in the film he's a genuine Nice Guy, the tv version never actually tells Bianca he's interested in her (he tries once in French, which he knows she doesn't understand and sends her a note he knows she never received). When she assumes he's gay, he makes only a cursory attempt to deny it. In one episode, she arranges to go to a dance with a Jerk Jock, and he sabotages the guy's car and steals his cell phone to make her think she has been stood up, then offers to go with her in his place. Given that he comes off like a creepy stalker, and she has a really sweet chemistry with Joey (who was a Jerk Jock in the film), the show seems to be writing itself into a corner.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_50b9a0e2	comment	In The Phantom of the Opera both Raoul (who is the protagonist for much of the book) and titular antagonist are this for Christine to varying extents, the latter falling to the extreme end almost destroying a portion of Paris if his feelings arenâ€™t fully returned. For Raoul he was extremely close to Christine when they were young and is heartbroken to see Christine seemingly laughing off his affections when theyâ€™re older and becomes increasingly more upset and aggravated at Christine seemingly messing him around â€” this is due to Raoul only having One Side of the Story with Christine being unable to return his feeling at first due to the promise she made to her Angel of Music (actually the Phantom) and afterwards upon learning the truth out of the justified fear that Erik would kill Raoul. When Erik lets Christine go in the ending, she elopes with Raoul to Scandinavia. In the Phantom aka Erikâ€™s case itâ€™s even more tragic as he was already working with a disadvantage being The Grotesque (as well as a Psychopathic Manchild) but he was content merely gaslighting Christine as her beloved Angel of Music it's only when Raoul came into the picture again that he is stricken with jealousy and becomes desperate eventually abducting Christine. Interestingly, Erik actually becomes a greater example of this after Christine sees his Nightmare Face and accepts it as now he refuses to let her go having got such encouragement. It takes a prolonged Scarpia Ultimatum in the finale before he pulls a I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy.

If you want to achieve the romance, you have to keep pushing her and pushing her, regardless of how many times she turns you down.

Not least of all is the fact that, well, Shoshanna's (secretly) Jewish, she's already dating a black man Marcel, and he's a freakin' Nazi! To squick us out even more, he hero-worships the man who slaughtered her family; both the audience and Shoshanna know this from the second scene we see him in. When she finally manages to get through to him that there's no way in hell that she'll ever be interested in him, he stops being so nice... Also, he uses his strong-arm Nazi position to force her on dates with him and to position himself at the theater she works in. Very very not nice.

His obsession with Margaret varies between mildly creepy to just plain sad, with him ignoring all other chances at happiness to focus exclusively on her. It doesn't help that Margaret is a tsundere who is genuinely in love with him, but only platonically. And she slept with him to save his life but failed to explain that detail to him until after. Eventually, they have a long talk where he acknowledges his obsession, they share a tender kiss goodbye, and he leaves for Blue. Blue, on the other hand, is played surprisingly straight. When she comes to visit her brother Mike, she immediately falls for his roommate Dave. Although she has some fun playfully stalking him for a few days, she mostly just remains quietly supportive, even when Dave yells at her for things like being nice to his parents (in his mind, Margaret was the one his parents were supposed to adore). She even sleeps with him after he suffers some serious mental trauma, but is still willing to step back and let him work things out at his own pace rather than forcing the issue. Eventually, they officially get together for good. Though the fact that Dave gave her father a heart attack that killed him does put a damper on their relationship for a while.

In The Dark Knight, however, Rachel moves on to Harvey Dent but Bruce seriously thinks Dent is just a placeholder while Rachel waits for Bruce to finish up his work as Batman, but Rachel is clearly more into Dent than Bruce and in the end, she does realize that and tells Bruce as much in a letter... only to then be horribly killed by the Joker and for Alfred to burn the letter believing it's for the best and hoping Bruce will eventually move on. Unfortunately, Bruce spends eight years moping over Rachel even after the truth finally comes out in The Dark Knight Rises before he settles down with Selina "Catwoman" Kyle in Italy.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_6cb2d709	comment	According to some fanfics, James Potter and Lily Evans from the Harry Potter universe fit this trope well. It seems to be pretty solidly there in canon, though. When we see James asking Lily out in their fifth year, not only does she turn him down, they're both acting like this is hardly the first time she's had to reject him. We're later told that they didn't start going out until seventh year, so that's at least two years of James dogging persistently after Lily since we don't know when he first started asking. There's a subversion there as well. James was a Jerk Jock in their fifth year, and a bully on top of that, which is one of the reasons Lily wouldn't have anything to do with him. It was only when he got over himself that Lily reciprocated. (Not to mention that her other suitor was Severus Snape, a case of Unlucky Childhood Friend who lost his chance via greatly wronging Lily in the worst way possible.)

He actually does get the girl—well, sort of. She likes him, but she'll only be with him if he can find a way to leave his hometown to be near her. His means of getting himself to her are creepy and occasionally manipulative of others, and the worst one has nothing to do with his Bad Boy alter-ego.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_6e1d5f36	comment	Farscape has both positive and negative examples. John displays a low-key yearning for Aeryn for a long time before they finally start seriously dating (they have heavy UST and are even implied to have casual sex a couple of times during this period), and they're presented as the Official Couple. By contrast, Stark, after his lover Zhaan dies, acts this way toward Aeryn as well in a quite creepy way, hanging around her shyly and occasionally making ham-fisted attempts to hit on her. After John dies, Aeryn finally blows up at Stark in a memorably vicious "The Reason You Suck" Speech, telling him that Crais (another unwelcome suitor who Stark hates) is better than he is because Crais admits to himself that he wants to have sex with her and doesn't kid himself that he's "saving" her or deeply and unselfishly in love.

He has a deep crush on Carli, his neighbor and childhood best friend, and will do anything to win her over. He frequently makes dramatic romantic gestures to win her over, and she is clearly aware of his feelings but maintains just enough plausible deniability to ingnore him. Over the course of the series it becomes clear that she's just stringing him along to manipulate him when it's convenient for her, and his pursuit makes him pathetic rather than successful.

One plotline deals with an IT guy, Luis Cabrera, reaching out to his colleague Ness about her increasingly bizarre activity online, while not-so-subtly dropping hints he's interested in her romantically. Problem is, Ness is under the influence of Glitchtrap, and not, as Luis initially thinks, working on a screenplay or some other hobby. Needless to say, he ends up an Unwitting Pawn.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_7ac38ec4	comment	Rebuild World: Played With, both genders are explored. In the case of Sheryl for Akira, her motivation in pursuing Akiraâ€™s affections is mainly fear for her own survival as well as low key yearning, where she focuses on honing Guile Hero talents because thatâ€™s what brings out the extremely sweet side of Akira's Sugar-and-Ice Personality with her. With Carol regarding Akira, sheâ€™s a Femme Fatale who sets out with the goal of specifically seducing him, which is later revealed to be part of a Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places pattern of testing strong hunters who could protect her from her insecurities. Carol basically acts as Akiraâ€™s advisor and propositions him for sex instead of a relationship. Itâ€™s only later developments where she starts seeing Akira as The Confidant with the Commonality Connection of each being Old World Connectors and the dangers surrounding that, that her persuit takes more romantic undertones. Generally speaking, Sheryl's slum gang is characterized as having several of these hoping that if they work hard, Sheryl will notice them, with the named example being Tiol. Tiol's feelings get twisted as he becomes a Tragic Monster at the hands of a Mad Scientist, and he turns into The Resenter of Akira out of vague Amnesiac Resonance as Cybernetics Eat Your Soul effects him. Tiol originally was just going to wait and hope Akira lost interest in Sheryl or died hunting while supporting her as best he could in the meantime.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_80183270	comment	Morinaga in The Tyrant Falls in Love has stuck by Souichi's side for five years in the hope of having his feelings returned someday, despite Souichi being a homophobe. (Granted, he spent most of those five years concealing his feelings because of the homophobia thing, but he's had enough of hiding them by the fifth year.) Souichi even compares Morinaga's behavior towards him to a dog following its owner, though he's showing signs that he actually doesn't mind Morinaga's dogged pursuit of him. Morinaga is an unusual example of this trope because he actually rapes Souichi (at the beginning of the story, setting off the plot). Normally this would disqualify him from DNG-hood, but his behavior afterward still counts as this trope, only now he's become more of The Conquerer as opposed to the Patient Friend.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_8ac4e993	comment	Used in most installments of the original UC Gundam saga. A recurring theme throughout is that of the Dogged Nice Guy utterly failing in his pursuit because the woman has already pledged herself to a man with a much more open/stronger personality, or one or more participants in the Love Triangle wind up dead. Worst of all is probably the sad, sad tale of 13-years-old Hathaway Noah of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, who can't even let go after the girl (Quess) is dead. In the sequel novel, Hathaways Flash, he leads a resistance movement against The Federation to avenge her, fails spectacularly and gets executed (under orders from his own father, no less, who doesn't even know he's a terrorist!). When he meets Quess in the afterlife, he finds out it was all for nothing because she never even liked him anyway. Ouch. Garrod Ran from After War Gundam X is a mild version of this towards Tiffa Addil. He does have a crush on her, goes Tongue-Tied when she speaks to him and sorta chases after the girl — but he never demands anything from her in return and gradually moves on genuinely wanting to help and protect her, something that she BADLY needs. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 gives us lovable loser Lieutenant Patrick Coulosaur and Colonel Kati Mannequin, with the former being the Dogged Nice Guy for the latter, after a case of Love at First Punch (literally!). Patrick repeatedly defies common sense yet somehow keeps surviving, which makes Kati very flustered, but she uses his apparent crush on her to positively motivate him to follow orders. Thankfully, Patrick's Plot Armor doesn't run out, and after going through hell and emerging unscathed, he finally wins her heart. From the same series, Allelujah Haptism towards Soma Peries/Marie Parfacy. The pair were Raised in a Lab and Marie was Allelujahâ€™s childhood friend. The pair eventually had to separate, but found each other. On opposing sides and Marie going by Soma Peries. After Marie resurfaces, the pair become an Official Couple. Billy Katagiri towards his Kouhai Sumeragi Lee Noriega. Billy and Sumeragi went to the same college together and he wants to see how she is doing years later. Sumeragi doesnâ€™t have any romantic feelings, so she figures that she can use him to figure out whatâ€™s going on for his end. After Season 1, she starts living with Billy until Setsuna comes in and brings her back while revealing the truth to Billy. It takes a long time before they reach being Amicable Exes. Lichtendahl â€œLichtyâ€� Tsery towards Christina â€œChrisâ€� Sierra. Lichty is doing everything he can to make Chris love him back, but sheâ€™s unaware. She ends up taking a photo with Johann Trinity, leader and eldest of Team Trinity, to his dismay. It takes being moments away from death for Chris to finally reciprocate.

He follows her to try to convince her to come back, only for her to manipulate him and beat the crap out of him with her powers. Then when he catches up to her again, all bloodied and bruised, he says that he still loves her. Then she kills him without a thought. Norio is portrayed like this, and though he does have the traits, him being a paedophile and incredibly annoying don't really garner much sympathy. He is at least 18, while Suou (who he obsessively chases after he falls in Love at First Sight) is 13. Not only does no one find this weird, but his pursuit of Suou becomes rather creepy. The show tries to drum up sympathy for him with his mother being a Contractor, and his dad being depressed after she left him. His presence doesn't really add much to the story, but Suou herself even commented that he was just like Nika. Except he wasn't. At all.

In "Buckets", he offers to stay with Queen Delightful while passive-aggressively sending Lord Starchbottom off with the other dwarfs (although while they were gone, they didn't do anything except talk about who "Buckets" is). In "The Jollywood Games", he enters and wins a tournament in the hope that he can get a kiss from her (and he does, eventually, after she rejects his request). In "Free Teensy", he appears from behind her and she reacts with a stunned "Oh. Hello." He then declares, "She can't get enough of me."

EVE falls for him too, eventually, but in an interesting twist on this trope, he didn't "earn" her by his persistent attempts to woo her. What made EVE fall for WALLâ€¢E was realizing that even when he wasn't trying to make her fall for him, or when he couldn't, he was a wonderful person anyway, and he deeply cared for her regardless of whether she loved him back or not.

Making matters more tragic Quasimodo is really the only man whom EsmÃ©ralda can trust and rely upon as he genuinely loves her unlike Phoebus or to much a greater extent Frollo who both only want her for sex. There's also Gringoire who while not as capable as Quasimodo also loves EsmÃ©ralda and genuinely wants to protect her, but like with Quasimodo she doesn't return his feelings, as she holds out hope that Phoebus will rescue her... which he doesn't.

For the most part, Lois was oblivious to it, until the second season episode "Robbery", when Craig confesses his feelings to her while they are being held hostage at gunpoint during a robbery of the drugstore they work in. After he confesses his feelings, Lois brutally explains to him that there's nothing between them and there never will be. It's so harsh, even one of the robbers expresses some pity for Craig. He's a crying wreck by the end of the episode, but this does spur him to get over his unrequited crush, and in later episodes, even begins dating other women with varying degrees of success.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_a54eef52	comment	Greece from Hetalia: Axis Powers often has a low-key yearning for Japan in fanworks, sometimes to the point of waiting over a hundred years for Japan to return his feelings, although it's clear in most of these fanworks that Japan does like Greece back and just has a bad case of Cannot Spit It Out or Oblivious to Love. Or that both of them are Twice Shy. Sometimes Japan's adoptive sister Taiwan is depicted the same way, acting cheery and sweet to him but deep down also expecting him to like her back. Spain also has shades of this in some Spain/Romano fanworks. While Romano is shown as a Tsundere in Spain/Romano fanworks, he might switch to this trope in Romano/Belgium ones. Korea is depicted as this in most, if not all, China/Korea fanworks. Some of these fanworks actually give a tragic spin to this trope by depicting Korea as being fully aware that China doesn't return his feelings or just finds him annoying and knowing deep down that throwing himself even more at China will not change this, but that he can't bring himself to give up hope that someday, somehow, China will eventually love him back.

Though she doesn't exactly act nice: she is a kindhearted and friendly woman and a skilled Action Girl, but can be... pretty clingy to him. Similarly, when Athena Asamiya and Sie Kensou made the jump from Psycho Soldier to KOF, Kensou went from an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy to Athena's Dogged Nice Guy who's hopelessly in love with Athena (who, on the other hand, is aware of his feelings but while she does care, she simply likes him just as a friend). Like in Mai's case, though, Kensou is a pretty decent person and friend outside this particular liaison; also, in the counted times when the usually self-reliant Athena has needed help from him, he has given it to her without expecting retribution. (He's dogged and all, but he does have his limits.)

After becoming Spider-Man and gaining new confidence, Liz became attracted to Peter much to Flashâ€™s jealously, but eventually they all just became friends with Peter a Honorary Uncle to her son Normie.

Jessica Jones was retconned as being a suitor for Peter when she was young and unlike Peter with Liz was too shy to even talk to him (despite Peter being no less unpopular) and only capable of watching him adoringly from afar. Sadly when Peter did talk to her it was after the car accident which killed her family and Jess thinks heâ€™s only taking pity on her and spites him for it. By the time they meet properly again unmasked Jessica is already married with a child to Luke Cage so they're Just Friends.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_bb3fde3d	comment	In Danny Phantom fanfic Resurrected Memories: The OC Christopher Morgan is a Downplayed example. He likes Sam and flirts with her, but he is never aggressive and makes it clear that he respects her feelings and that he would back off if she genuinely didnâ€™t feel the same way. If anything, he is a Deconstruction of one, as while he does like Sam, he was genuinely hurt when Sam told him to get lost and lost his patience when she said she still likes him accusing her of being a Master of the Mixed Message and demanding to know if she truly doesnâ€™t like him or not, explaining that he can accept rejection, but he refuses to be strung along.

Sadly when Peter did talk to her it was after the car accident which killed her family and Jess thinks heâ€™s only taking pity on her and spites him for it. By the time they meet properly again unmasked Jessica is already married with a child to Luke Cage so they're Just Friends.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_bc18062d	comment	Anne of Green Gables: Gilbert Blythe is the epitome of the second variation. He makes a badly-timed comment about Anne's red hair and falls for her the instant she smashes her slate over his head in retribution. However, Anne holds this grudge for five years or so, in which time he tries valiantly to convince her he's not the jerk he originally came off as. Once they're friends, he gently implies at times that he wants to be more than just friends, though since Anne is oblivious to both his feelings for her and her growing feelings for him, it goes over her head. He continues to try and be her friend even after she shoots down his marriage proposal and after she dates another man for nearly two years. It takes a near-death experience for Anne to realize she's in love with him, the poor guy.

Irene insists on remaining close friends with the couple and flirting with Luis in the hope that he will notice her. It fails miserably... for a while. In the second half of the telenovela, Tamara and Luis end the relationship, but he continues to be living at her house (it's a long story...) and tries to convince her to date again. When he is finally forced to admit that Tamara does not want to date him again (in the most humiliating way possible, when she brings a boyfriend to her house and throws Luis out of her house), he comes to known Irene better and falls in love with her. In the end, Irene got what she wanted.

Martin is convinced that he's the main character in some quirky romantic comedy, whereas everyone else sees him as an irritating loser, and the uglier sides of this trope show when he publicly humiliates the girl of his affections by making a spectacle out of asking her out, then outs a closeted gay kid at school to take the fall for his own embarrassment. Even when he's shown to be remorseful, it's in the form of an equally failed self-imposed redemption arc.

Whether she feels the same, just considers it a cute crush, or is even aware seems to change with each episode. Ultimately, nothing came of it, as by the time of the Grand Finale, Spike appears to have let his crush go and dedicated himself to being Twilight's adviser and official Friendship Ambassador to the dragon lands, while Rarity is managing a fashion franchise all around Equestria. Zephyr Breeze, Fluttershy's brother, is this to Rainbow Dash, constantly flirting with her and seemingly oblivious to the fact that she can't stand him. While he returns for a quick cameo where Dash has to distract him by pretending to return his feelings, ultimately nothing comes of this either. Zephyr isn't seen again outside of background appearances, and it is all but explicitly stated that Rainbow (maybe?) ends up together with Applejack.

His response was to date her best friend Dianne for years and set himself up as the Nice Guy ideal boyfriend, and then belittle Shaun even though she's happy with him (even if she wishes he'd be a bit more active). It all comes to a head in the Zombie Apocalypse when he and Shaun are at each other's throats. Making things worse for him, Liz never noticed he had a crush on her until Dianne spelled it out for him - that's right, even she knew. When David defends himself, he's told to shut up and that it really isn't important in the face of survival. When he reveals a vindictive and horrible side, it dashes any hope of being with Liz and he is shortly after torn apart by the horde when they grab him through the window.

When he meets Quess in the afterlife, he finds out it was all for nothing because she never even liked him anyway. Ouch.

The Secret of Monkey Island has the main character Guybrush in love with Elaine even though she thinks he's pathetic. She initially showed him contempt, before later finally realising she does like him, only for LeChuck to kidnap her later on, after which she isn't interested in Guybrush anymore. By Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, she has moved to get away from him and has named her dog after Guybrush as a sign of what she thinks of him. Guybrush initially succeeds at winning her back, until she realises that the only thing he wants is her map piece. By The Curse of Monkey Island, they have gotten engaged, but he accidentally gives her a cursed diamond ring which turns her into a statue — the game is about turning her back to normal. By Escape from Monkey Island they have gotten married and have moved back to her mansion on Melee Island to live together. By this point, she exerts control over him and because he likes her so much he is scared not to go along with it.

By the middle of the third season, they have become close friends. Lydia even kisses him, to stop a panic attack he is having. And when Stiles has to undergo a sacrifice ritual, he is paired with Lydia because she is someone he has a strong bond with - "a sort of emotional tether."

It takes her a while to figure out why he's seeing her home from church and driving her to and from her teaching job every weekend, and when she does, she panics a little. She tells him she's only riding with him because she wants to go home at the weekends and that he doesn't need to feel obligated to keep doing so. The next weekend it's forty below zero and getting colder fast, and she's certain he won't come get her, but he does. When her job's over, she sees that all of her friends are having fun sleighing in pairs, and resigns herself to reading poetry and trying not to feel left out— until Almanzo knocks at the door and invites her to go sleighing with him. She immediately says yes and has to laugh at herself, admitting that she didn't intend to keep spending time with him now. Almanzo says he thought she might change her mind after seeing the crowd go by, and they go sleighing or driving every Sunday after. Almanzo manages to not come off as pushy because he's such a quiet, lowkey man, and he does respect Laura's autonomy and boundaries— he did not protest at all when she said that she was only riding with him to get home, and genuinely felt bad for her living in a difficult situation away from home for the first time. He noticed that she was impressed by his horses, so he invites her to ride behind them. After they've spent some time together, he noticed that she (and her father) are always singing, so he invites her to singing school with him.

He appears to be this by most traditional traits, but in truth, his inability to get a girlfriend is mostly self-inflicted by a total lack of confidence. In a more traditional sense, Kimiko was something of a Dogged Nice Girl to Piro.

Though Jako is good-aligned, he's not subtle and given to spectacular romantic displays. Since Jordie's also good-aligned, he really doesn't want to hurt Jako's feelings by rejecting him. It doesn't help that all the human members of the adventuring group except Rocky seem to be a Shipper on Deck with the two boys.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_e26905cd	comment	Tekken: There's the sumo wrestler Ganryu, who at first fell madly in love with Michelle Chang, and later for her adopted daughter Julia. This one is actually a subversion because towards Michelle, Ganryu can be seen as a Stalker with a Crush, since he was a corrupt sumo wrestler during the course of the early Tekken series (this disgusted Michelle)... but after he reappears in Tekken 5, he seems to have converted into a decent man and fits this trope towards Julia better. This is played heavily for laughs, as Julia barely even seems to realize he exists. There is also Kuma, Heihachi's pet bear, who is this to Panda, Xiaoyu's companion. He's generally nice when the mood suits him and tries his hardest to get Panda to like him. Sadly, Panda hates him with a passion and claims to be too old for him (which is odd since the age difference is by a year, even in bear standards). Female example with Xiyaou who (similar to Sakura with Ryu) has a massive crush on Jin, something she isnâ€™t fully aware herself (but Panda and her friend Miharu are). Xiyaou spends most of her appearances following Jin around as his Morality Pet and even getting jealous of Asuka whom she sees as a rival for Jinâ€™s love being unaware that Asuka is Jinâ€™s cousin as well as getting jealous of any attractive woman whom in her mind could steal him away as seen with Chun-Li and Cammy. Unfortunately for Xiayou, Jin only seems to see her as a little sister figure and according to Word of God has decided he Can't Have Sex, Ever out of fear of expanding his cursed bloodline even further.

However, he keeps his mouth shut and helps her (as a Mission Control) with her job as a Flame Haze (even after his buddy Eita does an Opt Out) due to having had a crush on her that turns into full-blown romantic attraction. She tries to keep him at arm's length with her Dark and Troubled Past, but this epically backfires, and by the end of Season 2 of the anime, she's rather aware he hasn't given up. In the final season, she finally breaks down and reciprocates his feelings.

Tucker got better when first Clarice took him to meet more girls who happened to appreciate his sensitive nature (and to be fair the previous targets of his wooing were the bitchy ice queen, Beatrice, and Clarice, the dominatrix, herself), and ends up hooking with Jamie's younger and super-hot sister Fiona. There's also Vincent towards Hazel, who's a more mature and level-headed version of this trope, at one point he even had an epiphany saying that it was time to move on from his high school-old crush on her. However, during the webcomic's final strips both him and Hazel were on the process of moving in together as roommates, Jamie, with good reason, believes that this is a terrible idea and even calls out Hazel when she reveals that she is only using Vincent for her own benefit, the webcomic ended without giving any resolution or more insight on this.

Meanwhile Rikuo loves Shinako despite her rejecting him both in college and at the beginning of the story, and hangs around her maintaining an uneasy friendship while he hopes for more, periodically taking tentative steps to advance the relationship. And Rou, even though Shinako has made it clear she sees him like a brother, eagerly spends as much time with her as possible and periodically makes grand, angry displays where he demands that she return his feelings.

She not only still really wants Ryu to train her personally, despite him telling her he could not train her as he still had much to learn himself, it is heavily implied that her admiration towards Ryu has developed into full-on romantic feelings by the time of The Ties that Bind and SFIV — especially when she Cool down hugs him back to sanity when he almost loses himself to the Satsui no Hado in the first. Yet since fighting is—literally—everything for Ryu, it's obvious that while he cares for Sakura greatly, he's not really the type to consider things like romance in the first place. (Which he even admits to Crimson Viper in IV). The age difference, which is pretty notorious in IV as Ryu has visibly aged while Sakura still looks like a teenager despite being 19, doesn't help.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_ef894e37	comment	Brutally deconstructed in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The main character, despite the show's title, is more of a Dogged Nice Girl determined to win back over the boy she'd dated once at summer camp when they were both 16, but as the show goes on it becomes pretty clear that she isn't the lovable, plucky heroine, but a self-centered borderline stalker. She's contrasted with some male examples as well - Trent is slightly less stable than her but as a man, his own obsession with Rebecca feels substantially less cutesy (though a side character does encourage him once, telling him that while forcing friendship never works, forcing romance is the stuff of fairy tales, citing Cinderella). Then there's Greg, the most straightforward example, who falls for Rebecca from the beginning despite her total lack of interest in him. Though he's initially treated by the story as the Nice Guy who Rebecca will realize was there with her all along, by the end of the first season it becomes clear that he has enough issues of his own, and falling in love with a girl who was actively kind of a jerk to him is one of them. Their relationship was just never balanced and was bad for them both, so in Season 2, he leaves the show entirely. In the end, forcing love really doesn't ever work, either - the relationships that do work (like Darryl and White Josh) were basically mutual from the beginning.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_f0a86c12	comment	How I Met Your Mother, This kind of quest is the main story arc for Ted Mosby. The series starts with him being convinced he'll marry a girl he's just met, before even talking to her. After all, he tells his kids they have to learn "how to turn a no into a yes". When Robin gets engaged to his best friend, Ted is bitter. What follows is a disastrous series finale that shows him getting the initial target girl 25 years later and had been written prior to the second season. Encapsulated in Return of the Shirt. Ted decides that he wants to get back together with an old flame, Natalie, conveniently forgetting how he hurt her in their breakup. He finds her address and shows up uninvited, refusing to leave even when she slams the door in his face and eventually browbeats her into giving him another chance. Within a week, he's decided he doesn't like her anymore and breaks up with her...on her birthday...again. While he gets (comically) beaten up for dumping her, the show displays no concern about how he harassed her into accepting. Subverted in season 3 with Stella, where Stella has just as big a crush on Ted as he does on her, but she's a single mother and a doctor with practically no free time and doesn't think she has any time for dating. His solution is priceless. One episode proposes the "Dobler/Dahmer Theory," after Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything... and Jeffrey Dahmer the Serial Killer. It is that the Grand Romantic Gesture only works when the recipient is already smitten with the person, otherwise it comes across as a Stalker with a Crush. In this scenario Ted is trying to convince his friends that a pretty girl tracking him down is not crazy for the lengths she went to find him... but she proves to be exactly that.

He tries to sublimate his emotions into faithful service while trying to think I Want My Beloved to Be Happy. In the end, he fails. Marcus is also this to Ivanova. However, his story arc ends in an Heroic Sacrifice, not a Faceâ€“Heel Turn. She's left devastated, regretting she never returned his advances and told him how she felt, and apparently spends the rest of her life recovering. Also Zack Allan to Lyta Alexander. Tragicomically, he finally poured out his feelings to her when she was possessed by an alien, took her complete lack of reaction to mean that she was indifferent to him, and gave up. Of course, the fact that he completely failed to notice that she was possessed by an alien and acting very oddly more or less sums up why she'd have rejected him anyway. Although given that Lyta is an extremely powerful telepath, she probably picked up on his interest long before that point and chose not to reciprocate, not out of any personal distaste towards Zack but with the knowledge that non-telepath Zack would be completely defenseless against her enemies.

However, when he's finally had enough waiting, he reveals that he's actually been a Stalker with a Crush who feels he "deserves" her and so aggressively insists that she yield to his advances that Chloe has to call 911.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_fda9c8b	comment	On Downton Abbey, Branson tries both versions of this trope with Lady Sybil, eventually to great success. William also plays this straight with Daisy and is also successful in marrying her, though Daisy never actually falls in love with William.

Dogged Nice Guy / int_fdbace96	comment	Gideon from Gravity Falls is a deconstruction of this trope. He is devoted to Mabel but she just wants to be friends, and in-universe everyone seems to think that his attempts to win her over are charming...but the truth is, Gideon is an Ax-Crazy, Entitled Bastard who uses emotional manipulation to trap Mabel into a relationship. He performs over-the-top acts of kindness, manipulates her into going into more dates with him by asking her very publicly in front of large crowds of Gravity Falls citizens who think it's just so adorable that Gideon might finally get a girlfriend and completely ignores her wish to not be in a relationship with him. Eventually, Dipper tries to break the news that Mabel is not interested in Gideon to him, and Gideon responds to this by attempting to murder Dipper because he believes that Dipper got in between him and Mabel. Thankfully, Mabel sees this and intervenes, and she rejects him, not only romantically, but as a friend now, too.
