Also known by: "I didn't know you knew I was alive!" This stock phrase is most frequently used in teenage romance stories, but not unheard of in other media. Essentially it's a declaration of delighted astonishment that one's object of romantic desire seems to feel the same way when the person saying it believed they never had a chance with their target partner. Often this occurs when the jock discovers Nerds Are Sexy. Alice has had romantic feelings for Chuck from afar for some time, but never knew that Chuck was interested, so she's happily surprised when it turns out he is. Cue "I can't believe a guy like you would notice me!" In some cases, Chuck turns out to be a Jerkass who is taking advantage of a girl who likes him because it strokes his ego. He may twist the knife by laughingly saying, "You honestly thought I liked you?" Although, in certain cases, Chuck is being noble by breaking up with her for what he believes is her own good or protection. Occasionally, there's a socio-economic element: The girl from the wrong side of the tracks thinks the rich boy wouldn't be interested in her. Or, the boy from the poor side of town heeds his friends' warnings that the girl he likes is a Rich Bitch, but she turns out to be a nice girl who genuinely likes him. The Stock Phrase is most frequently spoken by a gal, but there have been occasions where a guy has said it as well. When used in live-action media, it often overlaps with Hollywood Homely. If a guy says it about a gal, said gal will often be the latter half of Betty and Veronica. May also overlap with Attractiveness Isolation and Insecure Love Interest. If the bystanders didn't think he would notice, see What Does She See in Him?. Can easily lead to a Nobody Thinks It Will Work situation. Compare and contrast: The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction, when a guy is so unattractive that the beautiful woman who's coming on to him must be interested in him for ulterior motives rather than for his sex appeal.

GreedFall: Should a female De Sardet take an interest in her bodyguard, Kurt, his reaction will be one of disbelief that continues throughout the romance. She is royalty and he is a solider, thus he sees her as far beyond his station. | |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Gender Inverted and Deconstruction in episode Choreographed when boring nine-to-five Glenn was so convinced that Naomi would cheat on him with one of her exciting and artistic coworkers that he injected a tracking chip into her while she was sleeping, which almost killed her because he didn't sterilize the injection site. | |

The independent movie Ten Inch Hero does this heartbreakingly with the character of Jen. Played by Clea Duvall, Jen is the plain Jane of the workers in the store, who befriends a man online named "Fuzzy 22." They decide to meet in real life, and when Jen finds out that he's gorgeous, she runs out of the building crying, saying no guy like him could want her. For the Record, in the end, he does want her. | |

Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins: Alistar has this kind of reaction if the PC begins a romance with him. He basically says that he's thrilled he has an amazing, beautiful woman as his girlfriend and can't believe his luck. (But unless she's the Human Noble, he still breaks things off with her, if he becomes King at the end.) One of the player's possible responses when Leliana suggests becoming more than friends is this. In Dragon Age II, Fenris, Merrill, and Anders all have this reaction if Hawke expresses interest in them. All three of them are quite attractive in various ways but have severe self-image issues thanks to being, respectively, an amnesiac ex-slave, an outcast blood mage, and a rebellious Humanoid Abomination (that elves and mages are both oppressed minorities in the setting doesn't help anything either). Isabela is a variation; she's not surprised if you romance her, but she is surprised that you would want to be friends with her, especially once it comes to light that she's responsible for the Qunari Crisis and you become the Champion of Kirkwall by ending it. In general, Hawke seems to have a gift for making the people around him/her feel completely inadequate; just ask Carver. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Blackwall reacts this way if the female Inquisitor starts flirting with him. He admits he's not used to female praise or attention but appreciates your company. Given his massive Survivor Guilt due to his Dark and Troubled Past that led him to impersonate someone to avoid dealing with his guilt in addition to running away from his crimes, this trope is justified in the most heartbreaking way possible. |

In the spin-off series Angel, Doyle encourages the titular vampire to strike up a conversation with the Damsel in Distress. When Angel questions why she'd be interested in talking to a stranger, Doyle asks if he's looked at himself in the mirror lately...before realizing that's a bit difficult for a vampire. | |

In the movie Love Actually, the character Sam races after the girl he loves in order to confess to her before she gets on her plane. He finally catches up to her and says her name. She turns around and says HIS name. Stunned, he mutters, "I thought you didn't know my name." She replies with a sweet smile, "Of course I do." | |

Despite them being practically married, Keiichi from Ah! My Goddess has this reaction whenever Belldandy shows him affection. Early on, this showed how thoroughly his self-esteem and confidence has been trashed. Later on, he develops strong self-esteem and confidence but still cannot get over this. After all he and Belldandy have gone through, this mental block comes off as Ping Pong Naïveté. | |

Naruto: This is the biggest reason why Naruto was unable to notice Hinata's feelings for him, in a Gender Inverted example. Naruto's depressing childhood instilled in him a lack of self-worth that he hid behind bravado and arrogance when he was younger. It didn't help that almost all of the girls in his class—including Sakura, the object of his one-sided shallow crush until Chapter 469—treated him horribly and turned their attention to Sasuke, which made Naruto think that all girls are only interested in guys like Sasuke. After Hinata confessed her love to him in the Invasion of Pain arc, Naruto was completely stunned, and even for a while afterwards, he thought she meant she loved him as a friend. It also prevented him from understanding his own feelings for her—and judging by the dialogue from the other characters in the Fourth Shinobi World War Arc and The Last: Naruto the Movie, it's heavily implied that Naruto has been in love with Hinata for a while. When he finally does understand in the movie, is when this trope is exemplified full force. This was confirmed with his Heroic Vow: he never thought someone as kind and beautiful as Hinata would genuinely love him for him. | |

"Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon is a rather heartwarming song about a guy who meets the girl of his dreams in a dance club when she approaches him and asks him to dance. She's out of his league. He knows she's out of his league, and he is absolutely confused as to why someone as wonderful as she would even look at a scrub like him. When he asks, she's irritated at the question, responding, "Shut up and dance with me." The video makes this even more obvious than the lyrics do. | |

The War Against the Chtorr. Deconstructed in A Day for Damnation. Jim McCarthy has a crush on Captain 'Lizard' Tirelli and starts carrying on like this when she tries to seduce him. Eventually Liz gets angry and points out that this trope is insulting, as it implies there's something wrong with her for choosing Jim as her lover. | |

Referred to as "Jerk Syndrome" in the Discworld novel Thud!. Nobby's new girlfriend Tawneee is so incredibly attractive that most men don't even consider asking her out because there's no way a girl like that would go for him. So the only guys who ask her out are either jerks who aren't afraid of rejection or losers (like Nobby) who are so used to rejection it doesn't scare them. | |

Hayate the Combat Butler plays this from both sides simultaneously with a side helping of Cannot Spit It Out. Hayate continuously argues with others that Hinagiku can't possibly like him. Hinagiku doesn't believe he's interested in her traits. It's made clear through other characters that they are the only ones who can't see the mutual crush. | |

The Peanuts Movie: Charlie Brown spends the entire movie trying to reinvent himself in order to get the attention of the Little Red-Haired Girl, but all his efforts are derailed repeatedly by either his own sense of morality or his perpetual streak of bad luck. When she volunteers to be his summer pen-pal, he is convinced that it's only out of pity that she would do so and that she sees him as a "wishy-washy, insecure failure". When he finally gets the courage to talk to her and ask why she volunteered, her response is basically what Linus told him minutes before: that he's a good person and she genuinely likes him. | |

In My Huntsman Academia, Izuku's self-esteem was so thoroughly powdered by his bullied childhood that he firmly believed that he'll never get a girlfriend because of how high-maintenance he believes himself to be. So when he spills all of his concerns to Yang, he's utterly taken aback when she refutes all of his points and asks if he'd like to start dating her, to which he happily agrees. | |

The Hurog duology, a woman Ward has met once, for a short time, comes to him for help. He is surprised that she remembers him, even though he has been nurturing a crush on her ever since they met. Subverted in that she actually just remembered one thing about him, namely that he's a capable fighter, and his castle is in a good strategical position to be protected from her enemies. Played straight when they eventually do become a couple. | |

In Persona 3 Portable, both Shinjiro Aragaki and Ken Amada think that the Female Protagonist should spend time with other people and express surprise if she returns their feelings. Both of them have pretty good reasons behind it, though. Ken, being Just a Kid, is naturally surprised to find that his Precocious Crush is mutual, while Shinjiro knows that he doesn't have long to live and thus any romance would only hurt her, but can be persuaded if you're persistent. Ken, on the other hand, remains justifiably nervous. | |

In Persona 4 Golden, Chie Satonaka makes a short but heartfelt speech on how it still amazes her that someone like the protagonist would ever love her, especially when he could have been dating the likes of Yukiko Amagi, Rise Kujikawa or Naoto Shirogane instead. Even before then, she repeatedly expresses surprise that a boy would like a girl who is as tomboyish as she is, and she herself considers the far more feminine Yukiko to be much closer to the womanly ideal. | |

In Persona 5, hard-drinking Ichiko Ohya will express amazement if the protagonist confesses to her, and tells him that she'd understand if he ends up dumping her eventually anyway since she worries that she'll end up holding him back. Nonetheless, she's happy to just make the best of their time together while it lasts. Chihaya Mifune and Sadayo Kawakami will also be shocked if the protagonist chooses to romance them since Chihaya is a self-described "country bumpkin" and Kawakami is his homeroom teacher. | |

In My Monster Secret, part of the reason it takes so long for Youko to confess her feelings for Asahi is that she's convinced herself that he doesn't reciprocate and thinks she's a pain in the neck (due to being her Secret-Keeper) but is far too nice to openly admit it. She actually gets called out on this in the chapter after they become a couple: | |

Gender-flipped in Komi Can't Communicate where Tadano, who has the ability to read the room/mood that borders on straight up telepathy, keeps telling himself that he has no chance with any of the girls, let alone the two other main characters of Komi and Manbagi. It's much to his shock when he finds out they both like him within minutes of each other. After this he starts going out with Komi, with Manbagi's prompting and blessing. | |

In My Love Story!! this is gender-flipped. The reason Takeo is so oblivious to love is due to having all the girls he liked prefer his best friend Suna. So he thinks the same of Yamato when it's otherwise clear she wants to be with Takeo. | |

Sleepover: Future high school freshman Julie is madly in love with Steve Phillips, a super popular high school guy, but is certain he is unaware of her existence. When she and her friends infiltrate the high school dance, Steve is crowned King of the dance and has to chose a dance partner. You can only imagine how Julie feels when Steve singles her out to slow dance with him, then helps her win the scavenger hunt. |

Dragon Age: Origins: Alistar has this kind of reaction if the PC begins a romance with him. He basically says that he's thrilled he has an amazing, beautiful woman as his girlfriend and can't believe his luck. (But unless she's the Human Noble, he still breaks things off with her, if he becomes King at the end.) One of the player's possible responses when Leliana suggests becoming more than friends is this. |

Fire Emblem Fates allows the player to customize the main character (or Avatar) and marry another character. One such option, for a male avatar, is Felicia, a klutzy and accident-prone maid. In the S-Rank Support conversation with her, Felicia will admit that she loves the Avatar, but would never expect him to feel the same way because he grew up as a Nohrian Prince and royalty just wouldn't feel that way about one of their own maids. She's very surprised and very happy when the Avatar says he loves her, too. | |

In early Smallville, Clark Kent was usually baffled whenever a girl expressed interest in him because his self-esteem was so low that he was oblivious to the fact that even without superpowers, he's still very attractive and buff. Chloe Sullivan also has an unfortunately brief period in late season one when she is dating Clark. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Sokka with Yue. The Legend of Korra: Implied from Asami's "Really?" at Korra asking her out and elaborated on in Turf Wars. Asami realized she was in love with Korra during the three-year Time Skip, but didn't say so in the letters out of fear that it would scare Korra off from never returning. Considering the numerous beauty tropes associated with her to the extent that even the narrator is touting her attractiveness and Korra herself was insecure at her presence, it says a lot that a virtual supermodel/de facto princess feared rejection. |

Mass Effect 2 has this with returning squadmate Tali'Zorah vas Neema/vas Normandy, mostly because she and Commander Shepard are of entirely different species, and Tali's species cannot survive outside of their environmental suits for long due to a weakened immune system. Garrus also has elements of this, being notably surprised that Shepard would be attracted to a man with scars, especially one who's a different species than her. Thane has elements of this due to his thinking that Shepard deserves better than a repentant assassin who's busy dying of an incurable disease. Jack is genuinely shocked that Shepard has romantic rather than sexual intentions and flatly refuses to believe it for a long time. | |

Howl's Moving Castle, both the movie and the book. Sophie doesn't believe that she's beautiful (and doesn't believe Howl, when he says so the first time, in the movie) and doesn't see any reason for Howl to pay any special attention to her. The fact that she looks like a withered old crone for most of the book/movie does not help matters. | |

In Collar × Malice, some love interests are surprised when Ichika reveals that she likes them. Shiraishi is stunned when Ichika wants to be with him and tells her she would be better suited with someone else. Yanagi is aware of their age gap (he is almost eight years older than her) and believes she would find him "boring" compared to someone who is closer to her age. |

Inverted in Girl Genius when it's said by a male character to a female one. Extremely justified in that he's just a common cheesemaker's apprentice-turned-actor, and she turns out to be a noble who's also the daughter of one of the most famous heroes on the entire continent. |

In Destiny of the Shrine Maiden, Himeko is positively puzzled about what Chikane sees in an "ordinary girl" like her. The answer Chikane eventually gives is "If I am the moon, then you are my sun: I may be beautiful and mysterious but I can only shine with your reflected light." Bonus points for this explanation being entirely consistent with the metaphysical laws of their universe. The reader can also see that Himeko is far less...obsessive than most of Chikane's admirers, and her presence helps Chikane not to brood so much. | |

An Insecure Violet: Kyoka keeps wondering how a Nice Guy like Izuku could ever be attracted to her, let alone date her. Her body issues cloud her judgement to the point that she sometimes thinks that after a while Izuku will "come to his senses" and dump her for someone better. | |

Persona: In Persona 3, Fuuka clearly feels this way if the male protagonist romances her, which she acknowledges if she's his Christmas date. Her self-esteem issues aside, she's aware that her competition consists of Yukari, Aigis, and Mitsuru, all of whom are certified Dude Magnets, and less subtle about their feelings for him. In Persona 3 Portable, both Shinjiro Aragaki and Ken Amada think that the Female Protagonist should spend time with other people and express surprise if she returns their feelings. Both of them have pretty good reasons behind it, though. Ken, being Just a Kid, is naturally surprised to find that his Precocious Crush is mutual, while Shinjiro knows that he doesn't have long to live and thus any romance would only hurt her, but can be persuaded if you're persistent. Ken, on the other hand, remains justifiably nervous. In Persona 4 Golden, Chie Satonaka makes a short but heartfelt speech on how it still amazes her that someone like the protagonist would ever love her, especially when he could have been dating the likes of Yukiko Amagi, Rise Kujikawa or Naoto Shirogane instead. Even before then, she repeatedly expresses surprise that a boy would like a girl who is as tomboyish as she is, and she herself considers the far more feminine Yukiko to be much closer to the womanly ideal. In Persona 5, hard-drinking Ichiko Ohya will express amazement if the protagonist confesses to her, and tells him that she'd understand if he ends up dumping her eventually anyway since she worries that she'll end up holding him back. Nonetheless, she's happy to just make the best of their time together while it lasts. Chihaya Mifune and Sadayo Kawakami will also be shocked if the protagonist chooses to romance them since Chihaya is a self-described "country bumpkin" and Kawakami is his homeroom teacher. |

Luna Loud in The Loud House surprised many fans by believing this trope about her crush Sam. She struggles most of the episode with confessing since she felt she wasn't cool enough for Sam before ultimately slipping a love note into Sam's which is apparently short for "Samantha" locker. We don't get to see Sam's full reaction aside from a smile, which is a good sign. | |

Not that she's never noticed him, with his being her sidekick and a fair amount of mutual S/he Is Not My Girl/Boyfriend going on, but he still felt like this in the (first) Grand Finale. lampshaded in the Uncanceled final season. Kim's nerdy cousin Larry gets kidnapped by Dementor because he directed his henchmen to grab "a young man with Kim Possible who doesn't look like he belongs with Kim Possible". | |

In Dollhouse, when Bennett meets Topher, it is very obvious that Bennett has a massive crush on him. Meanwhile, Topher is too much in shock that Bennett, who he knew of by reputation as a brilliant programmer, is a beautiful girl, and he is too tactful and embarrassed to really express his own attraction to her. It doesn't come out until later, when Topher, on a hunch, uses his Doll-disrupting device on Bennett, suspecting she isn't in her real body but rather a Doll's. Bennett isn't, and she is initially confused as to why Topher would think that, because Dolls are supposed to be beautiful...and when she makes the mental leap that Topher thought she was a Doll because of her beauty, this trope is written all over her face. | |

The Dangers in My Heart: In a few instances for Ichikawa, the idea would Yamada would seek him out just for a talk doesn't register until later. For example, it never crosses his mind that the person he guessed she was waiting at their school gate for was him, even after she stopped him to loan him her manga. Mind you, it's not due to stupidity; he is able to pick up hints that she likes him in the first place and wants to date her, but he holds those thoughts back due to his depressingly low self-esteem and a fear of disappointment even after they've been hanging out for a while. | |

Sixteen Candles - Jake Ryan, the coolest guy in school whom Samantha has had a crush on for the whole movie (without thinking he ever noticed her), shows up at the church after Sam's sister's wedding. He waves at Sam, she looks around and points to herself ("Me?"), and he smiles — "Yeah, you." Hilariously, that is the only point he's been able to reach her. Jake spends the entire movie wanting to confess his love to Samantha, but is prevented by a crazy party, his drunk (soon to be dumped) girlfriend, and Samantha's eccentric relatives. |

Though they make it clear they won't give up on him until he makes a final choice, which Rean does during the final chapter of the game. | |

Natsu from 7 Seeds has such low self-esteem and is so socially awkward that when any guy shows any kind of interest in her, even if it's simply being nice, she wonders how this could happen. A gender-flipped version of this with Mark and Maria from the Ryugu Shelter arc. Mark is a little-light ventriloquist who has an obvious crush on super famous idol singer Maria. When Maria shows some real interest in him, Mark is so stunned that he can barely speak coherently anymore. |

In Bitter Virgin, female lead Aikawa Hinako cannot believe that anyone could love her. Following years of sexual abuse, being permanently marked with a large C-section scar, and dealing with multiple issues including severe androphobia, she can't believe that anyone would like her if they really knew her. In fact, her initial belief that Suwa Daisuke especially could never be attracted to her is what made him safe enough to befriend. This is part of the reason it comes as such a huge shock when he confesses. It's also a two-way street since Daisuke couldn't ever imagine Hinako actually loving him (since she only accepted him because he was completely off-limits). | |

This is possibly one of the most annoying parts of the The Twilight Saga. Not three chapters can go by without Bella saying something along these lines, apparently just so that Edward can remind her (and the reader) of her good qualities. She even goes on like this when they're married. Although Jake also gets this a bit in Breaking Dawn, when he can't believe that Bella would be friendly with him when she was happily married to Edward. | |

Greg Mandel Trilogy: Heiress Julia Evans is convinced she's unattractive because she spent most of her teenage years in the company of her absolutely gorgeous best friend Kat. When she finally succeeds in getting the handsome doctor (Kat's former boyfriend) that she'd been pining over, he says the line — an indication that a not-unattractive teenager who's just inherited a multi-billion dollar MegaCorp is a lot more desirable than she thinks. It turns out that Ian really does like Amy, and can't believe that a guy like him would like a girl like her, either. |

Dusa of Hades has a crush on Zagreus that can be seen from space. But he's the Prince of the Underworld, and she's not just the household maid but a severed gorgon head, and thus Dusa resigns herself to distant admiration. So she's absolutely baffled when Zagreus starts going out of his way to court her. Ironically, it's after getting close to him that she realizes she's probably asexual, and they both agree they're Better as Friends. | |

This is pretty much Machi Kuragi's reaction when she learns of Yuki Sohma's feelings for her in Fruits Basket. Kakeru's girlfriend apparently felt this way when she found out that he liked her (she had a crush on him but didn't know he returned the feelings). Gender inverted with Kyo and Tohru, where he can't understand why she loves him. |

The Legend of Korra: Implied from Asami's "Really?" at Korra asking her out and elaborated on in Turf Wars. Asami realized she was in love with Korra during the three-year Time Skip, but didn't say so in the letters out of fear that it would scare Korra off from never returning. Considering the numerous beauty tropes associated with her to the extent that even the narrator is touting her attractiveness and Korra herself was insecure at her presence, it says a lot that a virtual supermodel/de facto princess feared rejection. | |

In Dragon Age II, Fenris, Merrill, and Anders all have this reaction if Hawke expresses interest in them. All three of them are quite attractive in various ways but have severe self-image issues thanks to being, respectively, an amnesiac ex-slave, an outcast blood mage, and a rebellious Humanoid Abomination (that elves and mages are both oppressed minorities in the setting doesn't help anything either). Isabela is a variation; she's not surprised if you romance her, but she is surprised that you would want to be friends with her, especially once it comes to light that she's responsible for the Qunari Crisis and you become the Champion of Kirkwall by ending it. In general, Hawke seems to have a gift for making the people around him/her feel completely inadequate; just ask Carver. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Lampshaded in "Once More, With Feeling" with the "I'm Under Your Spell" song. Tara (who started as a Shrinking Violet) starts the song after realising people are noticing her, thanks to the boost in confidence she got from her relationship with Willow. In the spin-off series Angel, Doyle encourages the titular vampire to strike up a conversation with the Damsel in Distress. When Angel questions why she'd be interested in talking to a stranger, Doyle asks if he's looked at himself in the mirror lately...before realizing that's a bit difficult for a vampire. The trope appears again later on in season 3 of Angel, when Angel hesitates to act on his feelings for Cordelia, saying he has nothing to offer to someone like her. Fred also makes several statements fitting the trope after leaving Pylea, mostly in regard to any interest Gunn might have in her. She is so Obliviously Beautiful, she fails to notice that both Gunn and Wesley have developed feelings for her. |

Megatokyo: A major stumbling block in Piro and Kimiko's relationship, for both of them. Piro can't believe that a pretty girl like Kimiko would ever notice him, while Kimiko is bewildered that Piro isn't turned off by her quirks and hectic work life. To top it off, both of them are majorly Oblivious to Love. It takes the combined force of nearly the entire cast to get them together. | |

Since he actively cultivated the image of a serious and anti-social student, he's surprised when they start growing increasingly fond of and even outright fall in love with him. Quite jarring for him considering that he started off on the wrong foot with them, save one from the quintuplets. | |

It takes a subsequent "date" for her to realize that his kindness and attraction to her are sincere. | |

He cannot believe smart and beautiful Roxane will ever love him, so he distrusts her and never speaks clear to her, he only implies his feeling to Roxane… who only sees Cyrano as a brother. At Act II Scene VI, Cyrano says this Stock Phrase and is clear it’s implication… to everyone except Roxane, who only wants to thank Cyrano for defeating De Valvert and ask a favor from him to really put any attention Cyrano says. | |

Luckily she's very good at building up his confidence, so this fades as their relationship develops. | |

The self-explanatory "I Never Dreamed Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me" from the Carrie (1976) soundtrack and performed by Katie Irving, which had become something of a minor Breakaway Pop Hit. It comes across as Harsher in Hindsight when you've seen the film, but divorced from that, it's about a teenage girl who is in disbelief over the fact that her crush had just asked her to dance, and what's more, her partner is looking at her "as though [she's] beautiful", then cue Title-Only Chorus. | |
