Love is a beautiful thing, but there are a lot of stumbling blocks that can get in the way of someone experiencing it. Unfortunately, the possibility of winding up with a broken heart is all too real, and for those who have had their hearts broken, the pain can be extreme. In fact, the emotional hurt that comes from being dumped can be literally painful, and even traumatic. So, it stands to reason that any compassionate person would take steps to ensure that, even if they have to break up with someone, they do it gently and respectfully, minimizing the pain. And then there's this person. Rather than break hearts through ignorance, circumstance, or even by mistake, these characters do it willfully and deliberately, leading their victims along and allowing them to get attached, before shattering their heart with little to no remorse. They may be the Alpha Bitch, stringing unlucky nerds along for her own cruel amusement and taking advantage of their crushes on her. They may be a serial womanizer, looking for sex, and attracting so many partners they couldn't care less about the ones who've developed feelings for them. They may be a typical Jerkass with a Lack of Empathy, someone who cares only about themselves, or even a Narcissist or Sociopath, up to being a Sadist, in the most extreme cases. In many cases, they're manipulative enough to be a Manipulative Bastard, intentionally fooling their victim. Regardless of who they are, though, they have one thing in common: they find a romantic partner, trick them into thinking the romance is real or allowing them to think it is, and then carelessly toss them aside, intentionally or willingly hurting them in the process. Characters who do this are also more likely to pull other cruel tricks on their "lover", such as breaking up with them over email, cheating casually and often, or even committing acts of Domestic Abuse. As such, it's no surprise the character who does this is usually the bad guy. Even if their victim is being targeted out of revenge, often for having broken another person's heart or because the heartbreaker themselves has had their heart broken in the past, this will be portrayed as a morally ambiguous act at best, something too cruel for even the resident asshole to deserve. Even if the person has a conscience and feels guilty over it, they'll still go through with it, despite knowing it's wrong. Of course, if the entire relationship is done for the purpose of breaking someone's heart, there's a high chance of the manipulator Becoming the Mask; in those cases, dual-heartbreak is on the horizon. A similar trope is Relationship Sabotage; where both tropes can result in someone having a broken heart, Relationship Sabotage involves an outsider messing with the relationship, which could result in both partners getting hurt. Also compare this to Commitment Issues, where someone may go into a relationship with no intention to stay in it but aren't doing it maliciously. Other tropes to compare are Operation: Jealousy, Shock Value Relationship, Fake Relationship, I Was Only Pretending To Like You, and Hope Crusher. This may result in It Meant Something to Me, Ladykiller in Love or Did You Actually Believe...?, and is often committed by a Handsome Lech, The Casanova, The Vamp, or the Troll. This is often a Kick the Dog moment, or if done particularly cruelly, an out-and-out crossing of the Moral Event Horizon. See also The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction, when a man probably should have suspected the hot woman had ulterior motives. Not to be confused with Break His Heart to Save Him, which is where a character only cruelly dumps someone out of desire to protect them. |

"How to Be a Heartbreaker" by Marina Diamandis is sung from the perspective of a heart breaker, and gives some slight insight into how people like this think and act, implying that people who enjoy toying with other people's emotions do so because they have been hurt themselves in the past. | |

Downplayed in Scream Queens (2015). The reason Pete hates Chanel so much is that, when he was still a freshman, he had a crush on her. She agreed to go out with him, opened up about an embarrassing fetish of hers, which he agreed to partake in... only for it to turn out it was all staged. She laughed at him for being so gullible, her friends had seen the entire thing, and he left, utterly humiliated and hurt by the experience. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: Arrows of the Queen mentions a cruel noblewoman who pretended to love Dirk so as to get close to his handsome best friend. When said friend rejected her attempt to cheat on Dirk, she went and tore into the latter, telling him to kill himself. Unfortunately, since the woman technically didn't break any laws, all the authorities could do was ban her from the Collegium. | |

The sequel has a more light-hearted version in the form of Sofia. She hates men since a crush asked her out on what was actually a Prank Date. She gets her comeuppance on men by leading them on and then breaking their hearts. Only Idiot Hero Avan manages to actually get under her skin and cause her to have genuine affection, which results in her dropping this behavior. | |

In John Tucker Must Die, the titular character had cheated on three girls at the same time, and the protagonist, Kate, was the one who caught him. In an attempt to get revenge on him, the others convince Kate to break his heart and teach him a lesson. Kate goes into the relationship with the full intention of humiliating him later but starts to genuinely care about him, and questions the morality of what she's doing. Of course, she still goes through with it. | |

Total Drama: Alejandro all but makes a game out of seducing the various girls on the show. It's never personal for him; it's just an easy way to trick them into being his allies and voting as he does, getting their actual love interests mad and causing them to lose focus on the game, and then talk them into make a mistake that gets them voted out once they're no longer useful to him. | |

Sarazanmai has Villain of the Week Kiis Motoclay, a pretty boy fishmonger who becomes a local Casanova in Asakusa. Before the heroes properly get to fight him, we learn that he was arrested on suspicion of marrying women and then driving them to suicide to collect marriage fraud reimbursement. His monster form reflects this, as he turns girls into wedding dolls that kiss him and then turn into dead fish for his collection. | |

Valkyria Chronicles has two examples. Maxmillian in the first game is this towards his right-hand woman, Selvaria. The moment he figured out that she was in love with him, he became a Master of the Mixed Message and used emotional manipulation to ensure she remained in his service. By denying her affection if she fails in her endeavours, and only giving it to her if she succeeds, he convinced her that she needed to perform her role as his general to her utmost in order to earn his love. After she is defeated by Squad 7 at Naggiar, she gives Maxmillian an Anguished Declaration of Love and begs him for another chance... he responds to her pure love and tireless devotion by coldly ordering her to be a suicide bomber in a last-ditch attempt to win the war that he started. The sequel has a more light-hearted version in the form of Sofia. She hates men since a crush asked her out on what was actually a Prank Date. She gets her comeuppance on men by leading them on and then breaking their hearts. Only Idiot Hero Avan manages to actually get under her skin and cause her to have genuine affection, which results in her dropping this behavior. |

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time: Penelope pretended to love Bentley because he had the skills she needed to make a fortune and Take Over the World, and didn't think of him as anything but a disposable tool. Although when she did break his heart, it was by accident; Penelope had no idea that Bentley was watching her from the rafters when she smugly gloated about her goals, and showed no care when he confronted her for this, as if Penelope had been plotting to dump Bentley the moment he outlived his usefulness. It backfires, and Bentley angrily dumps Penelope for her cruelty, healing his heart in the process. | |

Her greatest wish is to seduce him so deeply that when she dumps him he'll cry until his eyes bleed.

Victorious: In "Beggin' On Your Knees", Tori starts dating an attractive boy named Ryder Daniels, from her music class. She's completely smitten, but Trina warns her not to trust him because he's dated several girls before her. Robbie eventually discovers that not only has Ryder dated a lot of people, but that his modus operandi is to date talented girls so he can get a good grade, and then dump them when he no longer needs them. This is what he was planning to do to Tori after their graded duet and to make it worse, he'd played with her heart prior by temporarily dumping her for looking through his text messages. | |

Thir13en Ghosts shows that the ghost known as "The Bound Woman" was this in life when she was Susan LeGrow. As the richest girl in town, she had a habit of going through boys like tissues for her own kicks. It backfired very badly on her when her latest boyfriend, the star football player and prom king, caught her kissing another boy. He flew into a rage, beating her side guy to death and strangling her to death with his tie. | |

Frozen: Prince Hans pretended to love Anna just to usurp the Arendellian throne. When Anna is dying from the icy heart curse unintentionally placed by Elsa, he even rubs it in her face. It briefly leaves her broken, but Anna eventually realizes that there are still others (Kristoff and Olaf) who care about her. In fact, Hans invokes the Villain with Good Publicity trope to make his coup more stable and subverts the classical Disney Prince Charming trope by using his fake charm to manipulate others, notably Anna, whom he duped into thinking he was her One True Love for most of the movie. He even fools the audience the entire time into thinking he's a nice man. The spoilered character has been confirmed by the creators to be a "frozen-hearted" sociopath. | |

Mansfield Park: Henry Crawford happily flirts with any single lady of his acquaintance while he never means to be serious and never means to get married. His sister Mary mentions a string of her intimate friends whose hearts Henry broke. He "courts" sisters Maria and Julia Bertram both at once, but soon zooms in on Maria because she is already engaged and so it's a bigger challenge, and he apparently enjoys messing with people's emotions. Later when Fanny Price is the only unmarried young woman in Mansfield, he specifically says to Mary that he decided to make her fall in love with him and "make a hole in her heart". She proves immune to his charm because she remembers how he treated her cousins Maria and Julia, and the cad falls in love with Fanny for real. | |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses has Sylvain. While a Handsome Lech on the surface, he actually hates it when girls make passes at him, as he assumes they're after his Crest instead of loving him as a person. This personal frustration from being born with a Crest inspires him to flirt with girls before unceremoniously dumping them within a few days as a form of revenge, though he does admit to feeling bad about what he does, and post-timeskip he's mostly grown out of this. | |

Unknown Armies has amoromancers, who gain their magickal charges by having people fall in love with them. Given that they're not allowed to fall into love themselves or stick to monogamy, an amoromancer will constantly date and cheat on people, only to dump them when convenient. | |

House of Anubis: When Jerome cheated on both Mara and Willow, Mara was so furious, she talked Joy into pretending to date him; the plan being that if Jerome falls in love with Joy, she breaks his heart in front of the entire school. Of course, Jerome genuinely starts to fall for her, and she begins to feel guilty over it, especially since she starts to like him back. She still goes through with it to make Mara happy, and both of them end up heartbroken, with Jerome being utterly devastated that she was tricking him. After Alfie became a Sinner, and lost his conscience, he stopped caring about Willow. When she turned to him for support over something Joy and Mara were upset over, he just insulted her, broke up with her, and immediately started flirting with Joy and Mara as Willow stood there, stunned and sobbing. With this being his first act as a Sinner, it was a huge Kick the Dog moment, establishing him as cruel and willing to hurt the people he used to love. |

How I Met Your Mother: Barney Stinson tries to have sex with as many women as possible and he often breaks hearts in the process. Sometimes the girl he picks up knows very well it's a one-night-stand, but he very often manipulates his dates and specifically targets gullible women. He makes them believe he wants a committed relationship, takes them to other people's flats and talks about how he wants to settle down, and he mentions he proposed to women to have "I-can't-believe-you-just-proposed-to-me" sex, etc. | |
