A Stock Phrase used to describe someone who pines for/stays with someone they don't love (or who treats them poorly) because they don't want to be alone. The implication is that the character cares more about being in a romantic relationship with someone than the person they're having the relationship with. Since this attitude is exactly as unhealthy as it sounds, such a character invariably ends up Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places. They may be Allergic to Routine and have a hard time sticking around because they believe True Love Is Boring. This can result in Loving a Shadow or be used as a Retcon when a hyped relationship becomes an Aborted Arc. See also Serial Romeo, where a character seeks out several relationships in quick succession but genuinely loves each person they pursue. Not to be confused with a Love Freak who is literally in love with the concept of love. Can be a result of aromanticism. |

According to the Rumor Guy, Princess Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds seems to have this. According to his story, she would wake up every night to stare longingly at a portrait of a princess and hero (presumably those of a previous incarnation) cuddling up, indicating she wants to find love in her own life. | |

Adventure Time: Braco from "The Suitor" claims he was literally born to date Princess Bubblegum, having inherited his place from his late father. But Bubblegum isn't interested in the slightest, and straight-up tells Braco what he feels is infatuation. Braco still stubbornly tries to court Bubblegum, despite suffering all sorts of injuries in his attempts to impress her. Braco goes so far as "paying the price for love" and being turned into an inexplicably attractive mutant by dark magic, but instead ends up hooking up with a robot duplicate of Bubblegum she made for him. | |

Full House used that exact phrase. Jesse and Joey were fighting over a girl who showed interest in both of them. Danny stepped in and started asking them basic questions like what is her last name, what is her eye color, and what are her hobbies? Both of them were treating her like she was "the one" when in reality both just liked the idea of being in love. | |

In 1/0, Ghanny claims to be in love with Terra, but Petitus tells him that he's only projecting his vision of the ideal woman on her: "You latched onto the first female you saw, and applied all your ideas about love to her. She wasn't the one, though." | |

Community gave us a lot of Jeff/Annie Ship Tease in seasons 2 and 3, but Annie eventually admits to this in "Virtual Systems Analysis" when Abed imitates her in the Dreamatorium. Despite this confession, this seems to be avoided in other episodes, where Annie's feelings seem to be more genuine. |

Asahi Saiba of Food Wars! concocts a very complicated plan to try and marry Erina Nakiri, which includes infiltrating her school as a substitute teacher, kidnapping and blackmailing her into competing against him in the BLUE, thinking that he could sweep her off her feet and she would fall for him. Turns out that he took the words of his mentor Joichiro of "finding a special woman to cook for" the wrong way, and deep down all he wanted was to experience familial bonds. Furthermore, he's horrified to learn that he's the son of Erina's father from a one-night stand. | |

Yuno's obsession with Yukiteru in Future Diary is an extremely warped version of this. She had just murdered her Abusive Parents and saw no hope for her future, until a day when she and Yuki were the only ones who couldn't finish their 'write your dreams for the future' exercise. She decided then that her dream would be to marry Yukiteru since it gave her some hope for the future. She eventually admits that anyone would have done just as well for her as long as she could depend on them. | |

In the Protector of the Small quartet, Neal gets crushes on women (that are usually already taken) and goes about sighing and writing bad poetry about unrequited love and the like. When he falls in love with and gets engaged to Kel's Childhood Friend Yuki, he behaves completely differently. His best friend Keladry notes that he doesn't go about sighing and lamenting not being with her when they are separated, and is instead morose and quiet, which is proof to her that he genuinely loves Yuki. | |

Persona 4 has Ai Ebihara. A big point in her Social Link as it is revealed that she just wanted to be in a relationship. In fact, if you accept her when she first asks, the Link will just be a meaningless love relationship that will break up at Rank 9. However, keep yourself a friend and if you gain the right flags, she will fall in genuine love with you and can be a Love Interest. Trips up many a Casanova Wannabe player. | |

In Cinderella (1997), the mother appears to be warning her daughters about how bad this can be ("falling in love with love/is falling for make-believe"). However, watching it closely, it looks more like the mother was in fact very deeply in love with her late husband, and dislikes the eponymous Cinderella because she reminds her of him. The cynicism is clear a little later in the song: "learning to trust is just for children in school..." Note, unlike most of the numbers, this song was not written by Rodgers and Hammerstein but Rodgers and Hart, and was originally written for their 1938 musical The Boys From Syracuse. | |

Eddie Gluskin in the Whistleblower DLC for Outlast is a dark example; Gluskin believes he's a true romantic, wanting nothing more than to find a beautiful woman to spend the rest of his life with and raise a family. The truth is that he's an angry, violent man who really just wants someone to comply with his vision for what "love" should be, and he isn't willing to take no for an answer. | |

In Love's Labour's Lost, Ferdinand and his gentlemen make such a big production of how they are "forsworn" for falling in love against their oath of celibacy, writing bad love poems, and dressing up in silly disguises to woo and serenade that the French princess and her ladies take their behavior for a game and respond to the advances with lighthearted mischief. They are stunned when Ferdinand says that he was absolutely not in jest in offering the Princess his hand. | |

When she asks him if he loves her, he tells her "I was in love with the idea of being in love!" The way he acts after (holding her and crying) shows that he didn't believe that, though. | |

In the Daria episode "One J at a Time," Daria starts a relationship with Tom. Her sister Quinn, who has dated half the boys in school just for the popularity and gifts they can give her, becomes convinced that she needs a real boyfriend too, and becomes distressed when her attempts all fail (in part because Daria purposefully gave her unrealistic expectations of how it would work). Their mom eventually convinces Quinn that she doesn't need a serious relationship if she's not really ready for one. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire, being a Deconstruction of many of the tropes of medieval fantasy literature, including chivalrous courtly love, has a few characters who fit this trope. Robert Baratheon has turned Lyanna Stark into his version of The Lost Lenore, mourning her for years, unfavourably comparing his living wife to her, and speaking as if she would have been the woman of his dreams if she had lived. However, it is implied (especially by Ned Stark) that Robert didn't actually know her that well; in contrast to the angelic paragon of feminine virtue Robert seems to imagine, other people describe her as more of a hot-tempered, tomboyish Tsundere. In The TV adaptation a scene is added where Robert admits that as much as he puts Lyanna on a pedestal, he can't even remember what she looked like. Sansa Stark is another example of this, though she at least has the excuse of being very young. She constantly thinks of her betrothed Joffrey in terms of songs and stories, and in the first book, she repeatedly and passionately declares that she loves him, despite only having a few (not particularly intimate) interactions with him. She gets a rather rude awakening from this mindset when Joffrey chops her father's head off after promising to be merciful. |

Sanji of One Piece as part of his Chivalrous Pervert personality. Nami and Robin get it the most, but only because of proximity, but that also means they put up with it because they all know each other so well (and Nami, in particular, isn't above using it to her benefit.) Becomes a bit Harsher in Hindsight when we learn of his Dark and Troubled Past with his lost mom and his monstrous brothers, the result of experiments by his father. At the same time, when in an Arranged Marriage, he actually turns her down for his True Companions (bringing them to happy tears) though is forced to remain out of threat. The woman in question has her own issues, but his act of kindness also began helping her. |

In Bloom Into You, Sayaka's First Love was Chie Yuzuki, an older girl at their middle school, who had broken off the relationship shortly after advancing to the high school division, saying that they were outgrowing the Gay Romantic Phase. The spinoff novel Regarding Sayaka Saeki expands on this part of Sayaka's life and has her come to the conclusion that Chie had been "in love with love," and hadn't actually had feelings for Sayaka as a person. | |

Kanojo ni Naritai Kimi to Boku: Akira, a trans girl that just started transitioning, falls in love with an older boy named Hasegawa after he accidentally spills a sports drink on her and gives her a bottle as an apology gift, even joining the soccer team as a manager just to be closer to him. She later confesses to him, by which point she was under no illusion she actually was in love with him, but rather, she loved the idea of falling in love and pinning for a charming upperclassman after meeting him in a quirky, unexpected way, just like a shoujo manga heroine, because that would make her feel more like a girl. | |

Bonnie from the XY saga is an odd example, being in love with the idea of a woman being in love with her brother, Clemont. He is not amused. | |

Pokémon: The Series: Brock is this type; he falls for just about every female he meets. Except, for no reason other than she's one of the bad guys, Jessie from Team Rocket. Granted, this is Played for Laughs as a Running Gag more than anything else. It's never explained why (though given him being a Parental Substitute for his siblings is implied to contribute to it.) In "The Heartbreak of Brock," he meets a girl who's like this, and it completely throws him off his game. By the time he recovers, she's moved on to someone else. Ash's Oshawott is much the same, falling for every female Pokemon he comes across. Bonnie from the XY saga is an odd example, being in love with the idea of a woman being in love with her brother, Clemont. He is not amused. |

Gossip Girl Nate Archibald has fallen head over heels for every single girl in the show, only to completely forget her two weeks later, not to mention all the Satellite Love Interests the boy has had. At one point, Gossip Girl herself labels him the Class Whore. From season two and onward Serena fits this trope too. Especially in season three, where she has three "great loves" in the first twelve episodes. |

The Charm Offensive: Dev is a romantic man who loves his work on the show because he gets to make those fairy-tale romances real. Deconstructed in that this is shown to make it really hard to make a real romantic connection to people in his personal life. Ryan calls out that although Dev complains about him only liking "Fun Dev", Dev himself would close himself off to letting Ryan meet any other Dev. Ryan never could help Dev during his depressive episodes because Dev would totally close himself off to him, ignore his calls and attempts to enter in contact with him. Ryan admits he loved Dev, but the kind of love Dev wants doesn't really exist. | |

The Quintessential Quintuplets: Ichika Nakano, the eldest of the titular quintuplets, seems to have a case of this for male lead Fuutarou Uesugi. Despite being the most openly flirtatious and teasing out of the five sisters, she suddenly finds herself attracted to him and unsure why. On two different occasions, she's questioned about her feelings for him and is unable to answer, which implies she's more enticed to the idea of being in love with him rather than being attracted to him as a person (by contrast, her sister Miku, despite being shy and withdrawn, lists the qualities she likes of him without hesitation when asked). | |

Encanto: This is implied to be the case with Isabela's fiancé Mariano. When she breaks it off, he sadly says he just has so much love in his heart and he wants to share it, and then immediately falls in love with Dolores. The fact that he found out that she fell in love with him because of his good qualities helps. | |

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: Rebecca is an overtly romantic woman who genuinely believes that all her problems will be solved once her crush on ex-boyfriend Josh is reciprocated. This is completely deconstructed as the entire show dedicates itself to showcasing how damaging this is for her already fragile mental state. An episode late in season one even expands on the fact that this chase has made her blind to other kinds of love that aren't romantic, including the fact that she is dearly loved by the friends she has made in West Covina. Josh's character arc concludes in him realizing that he didn't want Rebecca in particular, just a loving romantic relationship. Since Rebecca doesn't feel ready for a romance, she lets him go, and he ends the series having found love with another woman. |

Ted from How I Met Your Mother has his love for love is his entire reason for living. His quest for the eponymous mother was the original driving force behind the show, though at this point nobody cares. In any case, he is rarely happy when out of a relationship and constantly complains/hopes to find "The One". | |

The Frasier two-parter, "Don Juan in Hell," examines this trope as part of Frasier's self-analysis. The Diane in his head even quotes the song that provides the page quote. | |

Ross from Friends has shades of this. He married the woman he lost his virginity to, and they stayed married for over a decade until she came out as a lesbian and left him. Since then, he's basically been trying to recapture the happiness he felt while he was married, mostly by pursuing his high school crush well into his thirties and rushing into two further marriages, one of them while drunk. When he tried to annul the third (a month after his wife thought he already had), his divorce lawyer recommended therapy, which Ross says he will consider. | |

In the third season of Downton Abbey, Mrs. Patmore's boyfriend subverts this. He claims, "Anytime, anyplace, I love to be in love!" but he's really a misogynistic hound who hits on every woman he sees. | |

On Gravity Falls, Mabel decides to have an "epic summer romance" in the pilot and spends some time flirting with every unrelated male of approximately compatible age she can find. She also fancies herself a matchmaker. However, she has a pretty childish view of how love works and often tries to force it when it's not there. | |
