One easy way to cause problems for a friend group is to introduce a Love Interest. Said Love Interest will catch the attention of two or more members of that friend group. Soon friends will become romantic rivals. This trope allows writers to create drama in a story and add a level of depth to a Love Triangle or Love Dodecahedron. This rivalry can be resolved in a number of ways. The love interest may pick one of the friends. The other could step aside, feeling it's for the best. It's also possible for the love interest to end up with neither. Perhaps they aren't interested in the other two. Sometimes, they may put their friends first, before a love interest. Another possibility is that the love interest gets together with both, resulting in Polyamory. In that situation, expect to see some Threesome Subtext and One True Threesome. The fact that friends are in love with the same person could indicate that they have similar personalities. Compare Friend Versus Lover, Friendship-Straining Competition, and Lover Tug of War. A sister trope to Sibling Triangle. Can be the cause of We Used to Be Friends and a Cock Fight. Depending on how serious the competition gets, expect to see Removing the Rival. Can result in a Feud Episode if it lasts only one episode. Examples |

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Hitomi starts off as an out-of-focus good friend of Sayaka and Madoka. However, after she realises that Sayaka has feelings for Kyousuke, she quietly sits her down to sadly tell her that she likes Kyousuke, too. Neither can stop shake their feelings for him and though Sayaka eventually feels forced to step back and let them be happy together, her jealousy and depression also keep her from ever being friends with Hitomi again. | |

In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hermia wrongly thinks this is occurring in the wood when her beloved Lysander inexplicably jilts her in favor of her best friend Helena. She assumes Helena must have seduced him, not knowing that actually he's been enchanted by Puck and that Helena wants nothing to do with him. | |

Inverted on Haven where Nathan and Duke start out as We Used to Be Friends and both fall for Audrey. They already have a rift that has to do with their history together, and the Love Triangle is just another part of the their rivalry. But because they're both in love with Audrey, they end up spending a lot of time with her, and thus with each other, becoming Fire-Forged Friends and ending the series more like Vitriolic Best Buds, even after Duke becomes the Hopeless Suitor in the triangle. Not surprisingly, the Nathan/Audrey/Duke One True Threesome is the most popular ship in the fandom. | |

In Wicked, Elphaba and Glinda's close friendship is strained but not broken by Elphaba's choice to rebel against the Wizard while Glinda allies herself with him.

They reconcile in the end, however, after Fiyero is seemingly killed by the Wizard's forces. | |

But Proteus is a prince, the heir apparent to the throne of Syracuse, and betrothed to the lovely Miranda.

However, Sinbad is willing to risk life and limb to recover the MacGuffin from the wicked goddess Eris, and Miranda accompanies Sinbad (initially as a stowaway). Proteus gets the MacGuffin back, and Miranda sails off with Sinbad and his slobbery dog. | |

In Girl Genius, Gilgamesh Wulfenbach, heir to the Pax Transylvania and Prince Tarvek Sturmvoraus, heir to the Lightning Throne, are former childhood friends who both vie for the titular character Agatha Heterodyne's favor. All three in this love triangle are young, talented, and meteorically rising top-class Sparks. Though the two men have longstanding grievances towards each other due to political differences, leftover issues from their childhood friendship, and general personality differences (Gil is blunt and forceful like his father, Tarvek is a conniving snake like his whole family), they both can agree to put them aside to take up Agatha's cause against The Other, all while still trying to subtly one-up against each other in Agatha's regard. | |

Saved by the Bell: The first season up until the season 2 premiere had Zack and Slater as straight-up rivals competing over Kelly frequently before slowly becoming friends after Kelly chooses Zack and Jessie and Slater become an item. In the season 4 premiere "The Fight", Zack and Slater (both of whom have broken up with their respective partners) end up quarreling due to their shared interest in a new student, Joanna. After much humiliation from both sides, the two eventually have a fistfight. Ultimately, she refuses both of them due to their fight ruining her time at a new school. History repeats itself in the Saved by the Bell (2020) episode, The Bayside Triangle, in which Zack's and Kelly's son Mac and Jessie's son Jamie have their quarrel over a mutual love interest, Pamela. Slater breaks up their fight and explains his and Zack's history. The two then come to a realization that they wouldn't want the girl they fight over now to become their wife somewhere down that line. |

While Ted isn't still in love with Robin, he is nevertheless furious at Barney since the one thing he had seemingly always held sacred was "The Bro Code" of not sleeping with a friend's ex. Their friendship is eventually fixed, and Ted even graciously bows out of a friends-with-benefits relationship with Robin upon learning that Barney has feelings for her. Robin and Barney date for a time but then break up. Afterwards, she dates another guy, and Ted and Barney suddenly become obsessed with defeating both him and each other to win her back. After several more wrong relationships, Robin and Barney get back together and get engaged, and though Ted knows he will always see Robin as more than a friend, finally learns to let his feelings for her go on their wedding weekend, the same weekend where he meets Tracy, the titular mother of his children. Years later, as Ted finishes telling his kids the story of how Barney and Robin's marriage fell apart and Tracy passed away, they help him realize his feelings for her never went anywhere, and he rushes to her house for a reunion. | |
