Alice and Bob (though gender reversals are common here) have decided that they want to pretend to be a couple to make their exes jealous, or pretend they're Happily Married to make sure Bob isn't deported or decide that sex doesn't need to have an emotional attachment and become Friends with Benefits. It all goes along swimmingly until Bob starts feeling something for Alice. It can start by finding out she and he are very compatible, or as a jealous Green-Eyed Epiphany when she goes off with a boyfriend or has sex with someone else. Eventually, their perfect arrangement starts to fall apart as the ground rules are broken, leading to a confrontation. Alice may or may not have feelings for Bob, but even if she does she'll defiantly say that their time together "meant nothing to me", to which Bob will plead his love with "It meant something to me, dammit!" This might be replaced with "I felt something!" and "I felt nothing!" Of course, Bob will storm off heartbroken that the woman he loves has just shot him down like a World War One observation balloon. If Alice really doesn't have feelings for Bob, then it's heartbreak time (happily, Bob will likely come to realize he's been thoroughly neglecting Claire and hook up with her). If her intentions were malicious, she's an Intentional Heartbreaker. If she does, she's likely been denying her feelings, something another character will have to spell out to her very plainly before she realizes she loves Bob and goes after him seeking forgiveness. Sub-trope to Fake Relationship. Compare Becoming the Mask and Romantic Fake–Real Turn. May also be stated after asking the question, "Was It All a Lie?". |

After having sex, the titular characters of Zack and Miri Make a Porno feel something for each other. Zack is the first to admit it, with Miri denying she felt anything because she thought Zack had sex with another actress and didn't reciprocate her feelings... and then Zack leaving, because he thought Miri had had sex with one of the porno's actors. This may be a theme in Kevin Smith's films. | |

This is variously played straight, averted, and subverted in layers on Chuck between the title character and his CIA handler Sarah, who pretends to be Chuck's girlfriend as a cover for most of the first two seasons. This trope contributes to a central part of the drama of the show. | |

Chase says this to Cameron in House and she immediately breaks up their "friends with benefits" relationship, claiming that she warned him not to fall in love with her. She did explicitly warn him and she does end up marrying him, at least for a time before she couldn't forgive him for killing a patient on purpose, even if the patient was a terrible dictator. Or rather, she could not come to terms with his having accepted what he did (ie, would NOT undo it given the chance). Played beautifully straight in a later episode, leading up to them possibly getting back together. But then not (at least they got closure). |

In Umineko: When They Cry, Battler's promise to Shannon that he would take her away from Rokkenjima on a white horse didn't really mean anything to Battler, since he was just trying to show off to her and he later forgot about it completely. To Shannon/Beatrice/Yasu, however, it meant a lot, and the fact that he so easily forgot about this promise factors into quite a few of her issues. | |

On My Name Is Earl, when Joy was still married to Earl (but having an affair with Darnell), a recurring problem in Joy and Darnell's illicit relationship is that it's all about sex. Joy is OK with that (she actually did love Earl and wasn't ready to leave him at that point), but Darnell wants to actually go out on dates and be a real couple. Joy tells him that it's out of the question because she's already married, and the two proceed to argue. She angrily dumps him for a while, but they eventually get back together... and a few years (and a Chocolate Baby) later she finally leaves Earl for Darnell. | |

In an early episode of Haruhi Suzumiya, Kyon gets Yuki a library card, since that's the only way to get her out of the library and to the meeting with Haruhi in a reasonable timeframe. Kyon thinks nothing of it but during The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, when Yuki rewrites the world so that she's a normal human, she is careful to keep that memory. | |

Rebuild World: Sheryl initially came to Akira out of desperation, attempting to barter the only thing she had, her body, in a last-ditch appeal for his help. As part of earning his help, she has to work as a gang leader with them being in a fake relationship being a key part of her legitimacy as such, with Sheryl seemingly still having the goal of manipulating Akira. It's only after Akira holds and comforts Sheryl during a Heroic BSoD that Sheryl falls for him for real, but with Akira's paranoid suspicions and especially his Trauma Button about falling into a Honey Trap, the damage is already done, and during a Bath Tub Bonding scene, Sheryl decides to slowly earn Akira's trust as a precursor to trying to win his heart. | |

Flay and Kira in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Kira did like her, but when their relationship started she was definitely in Yandere mode, so she failed to realize that she did love him until it was too late. By the time she gets her emotional issues sorted out in that department, Kira isn't around and she gets taken prisoner and it just goes downhill from there for her. | |

In Orange Is the New Black, Daya became pregnant in the midst of a Secret Relationship with Officer Bennett. She knows that because the relationship is an Unequal Pairing, he could lose his job… and be imprisoned himself. When her mother won't allow her to abort, the women devise a plan to conceal the baby's real paternity. Namely, sleep with the Jerkass correction officer Mendez (better known as Porn Stache), and then make a False Rape Accusation against him. Although Daya (and really everyone else) despises Pornstache, he actually falls in love with her (or rather some idealized fantasy version of her). | |

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: Ramona claims to Scott that her previous relationship with Roxie was just a phase of bi-curiosity. While the movie glosses over it, it's pretty clear by Roxie's reaction that she's pretty hurt by Ramona dismissing their time together as "meaning nothing." | |

On Friends, Rachel's old college roommate denies Rachel's claims that they once drunkenly made out, until Rachel finally kisses her again in frustration, saying "maybe you'll remember this," and the girl reveals that she does remember their first make-out and has been obsessing over it ever since, but hastily denies picturing Rachel's face while having sex with her boyfriend. Whoops. Also invoked during Chandler and Monica's Friends with Benefits relationship when Monica is (unwillingly) set up with another guy. Chandler is hurt and claims It Doesn't Mean Anything because they were "goofying around" but later admits that he cares about her and it isn't just a fling. |

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Wolverine furiously tells this to Silver Fox when she ashamedly reveals him that their relationship was all a lie, as she was actually an undercover agent for Stryker who was sent to secretly keep an eye on him after he quit Team X. Turns out she felt the same way, despite her denials to the contrary. | |

The Sword of Truth: In Stone Of Tears, after one of Richard's teachers (the one closest to him) is revealed as a villain (after trying to drain his gift and life out of him), Richard said that he thought she cared about him... and she answered that maybe she did, and that's why she tried to drain his gift instead of bleeding it out of him—which is normally accomplished by Flaying Alive the person in question. | |

Early on in Full Metal Panic!, Kaname and Sousuke get into a fight after Sousuke bails on a study date for a mission and flounders hopelessly at his attempts to apologize. When Sousuke cites his duty to protect her as a reason he wishes to patch things up, Kaname blows up at him for once again prioritizing his missions over everything, tells him to stop pretending he actually cares about her when it's just his job, and insists she couldn't possibly care less about him either. It's only after she runs off that she realizes that not only does guarding her mean far more to him than just a job, but also that he genuinely believes she meant everything she said. | |
