Alice and Carol are best friends. Alice is having a fling with Carol's boyfriend Bob and wants to do the right thing and come clean to Carol. The conversation would usually go like this:

In summary, a major confession is put on hold, when the other person says something that makes it even harder to confess. Usually the other person will find out from another, less appropriate source or situation.
Another common case is when Bob is about to declare his crush to Alice, and Alice (who sees him as a trusted friend) tells him first that she is in love with Charlie.
Compare with Oblivious Guilt Slinging. Often a type of So You Were Saying...?.

In Sky High (2005), Layla is going to confess to Will that she likes him, by asking him to the school dance. As she was going to talk about the school dance, Will figures it's the perfect time to mention that he's going with the most popular girl in school. So Layla ends up telling him that she's going as well. With his archenemy.

In the finale of The Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-man's love interest, Gwen, tries to break up with her current boyfriend so she and Spider-Man can finally be together, but her boyfriend opens up to her about how grateful he is for her being by his side, because otherwise, he would probably have picked up his old drug addiction back up. Unable to send him down that road again, Gwen doesn't break up with him despite her own desires.

In Drillbit Taylor, Drillbit starts to gear up to tell Lisa, a teacher he has fallen for, the truth about him (he's actually a homeless guy pretending to be a substitute teacher to protect three kids from a bully), but before he can get to that, she starts going on and on about how glad she is that he's such a great guy, since she usually dates absolute losers with nothing going for them, so he loses his nerve.

Happens almost verbatim in How to Train Your Dragon; Hiccup and Stoick speak at the same time and ask to go first in restating what they said, with Hiccup deciding he doesn't want to slay dragons while his dad decides it's time he starts training to do just that.

This happens in Chicken Run between Ginger and Rocky. Rocky has decided to tell Ginger that he can't really fly like he told everyone he could. They meet on the roof of a hut, and Ginger thanks him for saving her life earlier in the movie. She then starts talking about how excited she is to finally be escaping the farm tomorrow (Rocky's supposed to give a flying demonstration for them.) After trying to break the news to her gently, Rocky gives up.

A variation is used in Old School (2003?), except one of the main characters is interrupted by one of the worst coincidences in the world.

For the first six seasons of Frasier, Niles tries to confess his love to Daphne, only to be preempted by one inconvenient thing after another. In the seventh season, their roles are reversed.
