A character starts out trying to help one character hook up with another, but ends up falling in love with the person they were helping (or worse, the person they're trying to help them get), seriously undermining their own efforts. Why? Perhaps they felt unworthy and just wanted their beloved to be happy but in the end, just can't resist their own feelings. Or maybe their intentions were pure at the beginning, but the excessive attempts to help their target caused feelings to bloom. Alternatively, the hopeless and lovestruck individual employs the help of the matchmaker to help him/her hook up with the object of their (sometimes superficial) affections... only to later on find themselves falling deeply and genuinely in love with the matchmaker themselves. This usually occurs if the matchmaker and the suitor spend a lot of time together, perhaps practicing how to do the approach or even getting to know their matchmaker a lot better. If this happens, the suitor often reveals later on that his/her feelings have shifted to the matchmaker in question. Sometimes overlaps with Wife Husbandry when an older man tries heroically to pair a younger woman off with men her own age, only to fall for her himself. This trope may result in Matchmaker Failure. Love Triangle-arity ensues. See also Playing Cyrano, another intermediary type who generally isn't in love with the target. |

School Days: Sekai helps Makoto and Kotonoha hook up and puts a lot more effort into it than you would expect. Then she gives herself a reward for her efforts by surprise-kissing Makoto. This does not end well. There's actually a recursive variant, as Sekai is in turn assisted by her best friend or better said, half-sister Setsuna who also has a crush on Makoto because he protected her from bullies. It turns out that originally Sekai was helping Setsuna try to win Makoto, but developed her own feelings for him and ended up asking Setsuna for help... |

Fire Emblem: Quoted above: Sain from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade tells such phrases to his best friend and partner Kent in their B support, having noticed Kent's Bodyguard Crush on their common lady of liege Lyndis, whom he also has a crush on. (Then again, this is Sain we're talking about.) Fire Emblem: Awakening: Subverted. In Cordelia and Gregor's supports, Gregor develops feelings for Cordelia who has been in love with Chrom for a long time but decides to give her tips to win his affections instead. In the S support, however, Cordelia surprises Gregor via declaring her love for him instead, and they get together. Fire Emblem Fates: The support chain between Hinata and Oboro has Hinata Playing Cyrano between Oboro and their lord-of-liege Prince Takumi... only for him to realise that he has fallen for Oboro. If the player unlocks their S-Support, Hinata gives a Love Confession to Oboro - which she accepts, since by that time he has become her Second Love. This can also potentially happen to Arthur, shall the player unlock his supports with Princess Camilla who is in love with the Player Character. Again, if their S-Support is unlocked Arthur will tell Camilla about his feelings, and she will tell him that she has come to like him back. Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Hubert, after spending most of the Black Eagles route as a Shipping Torpedo toward Byleth and Edelgard, switches gears and becomes a Shipper on Deck after you side with her on the Crimson Flower route, despite his own feelings for Edelgard. If a female Byleth chooses to S-Support Hubert, his feelings can flip toward her instead. |

Community: Played with in "Herstory of Dance." Shirley and Annie both try and set Abed up with dates, and Abed thinks it will be fun to invoke the Two-Timer Date trope (without telling Shirley, Annie, or the dates). At the beginning of the night, he meets a girl named Rachel at the coat check, who thinks his plan sounds awesome and decides to help. Throughout the night, Rachel and Abed are getting closer, but he fails to notice and accidentally offends her. He goes back to apologize and admits he really should have noticed. | |

Launcelot in The Merchant of Venice is the go-between for Lorenzo and Jessica, delivering their love messages and generally helping them with their elopement. However, he's fond enough of Jessica that many productions interpret their relationship this way. Lorenzo himself can't help but wonder, at one point joking that he'll get jealous if Launcelot keeps stealing Jessica for alone time. | |

In The World God Only Knows, this trope is used on two occasions to prove that even Keima can be Genre Blind: Inverted in Chihiro's arc. When Keima needs to capture Chihiro, he helps her capture her crush (after all, she just needs to fall in love, it doesn't have to be with Keima), but she eventually skips the confession to be with Keima instead. A few arcs later, Keima recruits Chihiro's friend Ayumi to help him recapture Chihiro to determine which of them is Mercury's host. Ayumi accepts to help him and does a good enough job at feigning disinterest that Keima comes to the conclusion that she doesn't have feelings for him and has no goddess. He was wrong. Another example would be Tenri's goddess, Diana. Since Tenri is too shy to come forth with her feelings for Keima, Diana tries to push her towards him and eventually falls for Keima herself. |

In Tokimeki Memorial, your best friend (alias, the main guy's friend) Yoshio Saotome is always ready to help out with tips about the girls in the game. However, he might have feelings for one of these ladies as well... Lucky for you, he's more likely to fall for your girl's best friend (i.e.: if you woo Shiori, he may hook up with her best friend Megumi) than fight you. In the radio drama canon, in fact, he's seen dating the local Meganekko, Mio Kisaragi. Tokimeki Memorial 2 has Kotoko Minaduki, who wishes for her best friend, Hikari (the heroine, and main love interest of the protagonist) to finish with her childhood friend of a protagonist. Being a solid Type A Tsundere, she will NOT hesitate slapping him if she ever feels he neglects Hikari. Yet the protagonist can woo Kotoko (much to her resistance to her growing feelings for him), leading to this trope, and a Slap-Slap-Kiss (coming all from Kotoko) on Kotoko's ending, where she and Hikari are in love with the protagonist. Tokimeki Memorial 4 has Miyako Okura, a Hidden in Plain Sight Secret Character who's more than happy to play the part of the The Matchmaker, in spite of being an Unlucky Childhood Friend... Unless you manage to nag her into a date. It all goes downhill from there, and unlocking her effectively cuts you off from being able to win almost all characters you haven't met yet. For worse, Miyako soon shows her Yandere side too... |

Hayate the Combat Butler: Sakuya gave up her own spot in a high-class school so that her childhood friend Wataru could go to the same school as another childhood friend, Isumi, he has a crush on. She also loudly complains about his lack of progress in confessing his feelings to Isumi. A lot of the Ship Tease in the later chapters, however, suggest very strongly that Sakuya has a crush on Wataru herself. There's also Hinagiku vowing to help Nishizawa but liking Hayate herself. Isumi has something similar going with Nagi, but unlike Hinagiku makes no attempts on her own behalf as well. Of course, Nishizawa would gladly share Hayate with Hinagiku... or is that share Hinagiku with Hayate? |

In Final Fantasy VII's romance subplot, Tifa begins to like Cloud more when he shows concern for her friend and potential love rival Aerith. It can easily be seen as Tifa appreciating the fact that Cloud actually cares about somebody, even if that somebody isn't her. On the other hand, in the exact same situation, Aerith loses affection points for Cloud when he shows concern for Tifa. | |

Variation in Homestuck: Jane has a crush on Jake, but when he asks her if she feels that way for him, she panics and says no. He is quite relieved and leaps at the opportunity to have an actual friend to discuss things with, given that all of his other friends have some sort of romantic interest in him. So he ends up confiding in her about how he's pretty sure Dirk has a crush on him and that he's actually considering going along with it. Jane, panicking even more now but desperately trying to be Jake's friend, ends up telling him that's great and even encouraging him to ask him out, berating herself all the while in the process. | |

On Misfits, Rudy spends all of Series 4 and the beginning of Series 5 trying to get Jess to go out with Finn. Rudy being Rudy, it's fairly inevitable that he eventually ends up falling for her himself and going to extreme and comical lengths to ensure everyone gets a happy ending. Making a video of Jess on the loo so that Finn will see her at her most unattractive, accidentally posting it to YouTube instead of texting it to Finn, then knocking her phone into a lake before she can watch - only to have her see it later anyway on someone else's computer because that's how the Internet works - is actually one of the less disastrous things he does. Luckily it all works out... eventually. | |

Takeo from My Love Story!! tries to hook up his friend Suna with Yamato, however he's fallen for her. He decides to cheer their 'romance' on nevertheless. The problem is Yamato likes Takeo, not Suna, but Takeo is Oblivious to Love. It takes Suna outright telling them that the other likes them for the two to become a couple. | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil has the episode "Sleepover", where it is revealed that Star had unknowingly — even to herself — developed feelings for Marco over the course of their adventures together, despite her regular attempts to make him and Jackie-Lynn Thomas a couple over the previous season and a half. Jackie and Marco getting together causes Star to become so jealous that it causes her magic to go haywire in several episodes. The second season ends with her admitting her feelings for Marco, while Jackie is in the room no less, before moving back home permanently to Mewni. | |

Lala is the crown princess of the galaxy, so, as she says "the rules of Earth don't apply"; Momo knows if Rito is forced to pick a girl out of the Love Dodecahedron... it wouldn't be her. So she came up with the Harem Plan because she would get to be in it. | |

Linus seems prone to these in the Peanuts specials. In Someday You'll Find Her, Charlie Brown, he ends up falling in Love at First Sight with Charlie Brown's "dream girl", completely forgetting that he spent the entire special trying to track her down so that he could introduce her to his friend. It really, really didn't help that the "dream girl" was actually... very similar to Linus. She even had her own Security Blanket! | |

Harley Quinn (2019): In the first half of Season 2, Harley is all for Ivy and Kite Man getting married because she thinks that'll make Ivy happy, even encouraging Ivy to accept the proposal despite Ivy not being sure she wants that herself. Midway through the season, Harley realizes she has romantic feelings for Ivy and sort of asks her to cancel the wedding with Kite Man so they can hook up. Ivy is reluctant because she can't trust Harley won't break her heart and thinks she should stay with Kite Man, but it's ultimately him who calls off the wedding because it's obvious Ivy really does want to be with Harley. | |

Rider in Fate/stay night, judging by Fate/hollow ataraxia. She's clearly pushing Sakura and Shirou together the best she can (very awkward, uncomfortable and dangerous-feeling way) in Heaven's Feel but in the sequel, she's revealed to have something of an attraction to him as well. Oh, and Sakura gets very jealous when Shirou admits that Rider is very beautiful and he likes her. He means it in a completely platonic way, but Sakura's self-esteem isn't very good. Interestingly enough, being nice to Rider still gets you Sakura points — and this includes the scene where Shirou says Rider is pretty. | |

High School Dx D During the earlier parts of the series, Rias Gremory would try pairing her servants; Issei Hyoudou and Asia together, due to Issei being a Harem Seeker, while Asia is shown to have fallen in love with him due to him being a Nice Guy who saved her from being killed, as Issei was initially unable to see Asia's affection for him as romantic love. However, after Rias sees Issei fight earnestly for her in order to free her from her Arranged Marriage and promising to rescue her, Rias falls in love with him herself, with the two girls becoming love rivals. However, due to Issei's desire for a harem, both accept the fact that they will have to share him but compete for his attention and affection. After seeing Rias fall in love with Issei, her best friend; Akeno Himejima, tries to help progress their relationship by sometimes giving Issei advice or teasing them about their relationship. However, due to seeing Issei's determination and victory during Rias' engagement, Akeno became attracted to him and offered to have an affair with him, much to Rias' dismay. She later fully falls in love with him and enjoys the prospect of being Issei's mistress. |

Queens of Mewni: Queen Hemera the Builder and her eventual husband, Roman Fields. Hemera’s younger sister, Nixie, developed a crush on Roman when he first came to the castle, but was too shy to approach him, so she asked Hemera to talk to him for her. The more time Hemera spent with Roman, however, the closer they became. It certainly didn’t help that Nixie kept putting off approaching Roman herself, pushing him and her sister closer together. Nixie would forever resent Hemera for 'stealing' Roman, would antagonize her for the rest of their lives, and poisoned Hemera, Roman, her own husband, and herself the night Hemera's daughter married Nixie's son out of revenge for losing Roman and Hemera allowing the marriage of their children. | |

Eventually, Yue gets found out and tries to run away in shame, but Nodoka tells her that it's okay for both of them to have feelings for Negi and that they're still friends. Additionally, Nodoka soon comes up with an interesting solution that embarrasses her. Haruna aka Paru plays with this, she's acting as matchmaker for both Yue and Nodoka. After Negi's battle in the Ostian tournament she declares she has fallen for him... then laughs, declares she was kidding, and gets yelled at for her joke. Akira Ookochi, who asked Negi directly to go the Pactio route with Ako, Makie, and Yuuna (Ako and Makie both like Negi, while Yuna needs the Pactio to follow in her mother's footsteps) but refused to get one for herself. Until a long while later. Lampshaded by Chamo right before the last fact happens. In fact, subtle hints in previous arcs imply Akira was crushing on Negi way before Ako. |

The legend of the star-crossed lovers Diarmuid and Deirdre in Irish mythology (below) was set to music by Irish folk-rockers the Horslips as the ballad Warm Sweet Breath of Love. The opera Tristan und Isolde sets the whole tale to music. | |

The original Cyrano de Bergerac — that is, the original play, not the real person he's very loosely based on — provides a retrospective Matchmaker Crush. Cyrano has been in love with his cousin Roxane for years before she and Romantic False Lead Christian (who happens to be a friend of Cyrano) first meet, and Cyrano helps hook them up because I Want My Beloved to Be Happy, not because he likes the False Lead. | |

Friends: Rachel made this mistake twice with Ross. First, she initially agrees to Phoebe setting Ross up with a "bald" girl before finding out that said girl has grown her hair back and is beautiful. Second, she begs Ross to take Emily (her boss's niece) to the opera so she can meet up with Joshua but then starts having feelings for Ross again when he and Emily are getting married. | |

In the Dragonriders of Pern novel The White Dragon, we find Masterharper Robinton has strong feelings for his gifted apprentice Menolly, even though he has done everything he can to foster a romantic attachment between her and Sebell. In a moment of weakness, he kisses her and finds, to his surprise, Menolly feels the same way, although the immense age difference (implied to be 40 years or more) makes a romantic involvement a non-starter. | |
