One character claims that they are someone else's love interest, even though the two are not actually in love, dating, or (in extreme cases) even anything more than casual acquaintances. This character may exhibit traits of Stalker with a Crush, although they will deny that they are any such thing. They will also become a Green-Eyed Monster if they see their "partner" anywhere near another person, even though they have no legitimate claim to the person. The object of their "love" may find themselves dragged out on a date against their will.
This can be Played for Laughs if the character is merely annoying but can be Played for Drama if the character's delusions cause them to harm themselves, the object of affection, or other people.
Can be Truth in Television. The psychological disorder called Erotomania causes an extreme manifestation of this trope wherein the afflicted individual comes to believe that a specific person is in love with them and acts based on that belief. The fixation can be triggered by something as innocent as a smile from the person as they pass the afflicted individual on the street.
Compare Mad Love, Clingy Jealous Girl, Crazy Jealous Guy, Yandere, and Stalker with a Crush. Contrast She Is Not My Girlfriend. See also Loving a Shadow, The Dulcinea Effect, and Fake Relationship (when both are pretending to be in a relationship for ulterior reasons). Can also be used as part of an Operation: Jealousy plot, where Alice claims Bob is her boyfriend to make Charlie jealous. Likely to overlap with Abhorrent Admirer. Subtrope of Mutually Unequal Relation.

Disgaea:
Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance: After she sees him dispatch a horde of Lost mooks in the beginning, Seraphina instantly attaches herself to Killia and falls deeper in love with him for the rest of the game. Killia himself is uninterested because he's hung up on Lieze. When Lieze is revived at the end of the game, Killia resumes living with her, leaving Seraphina to continue pining for him.
Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny: When she meets Zed, Melodia is very quick to proclaim him her Prince Charming who will live Happily Ever After with her, much to Zed's very vocal protests. Initially, Melodia is disgusted at the idea of having a zombie for a prince, but pursues him because her pride won't accept being rejected by a zombie. As the game goes on, she begins to genuinely fall in love with him, and it's subtly hinted that Zed might like her back, but is A) still hurt by past rejections from other girls, and B) just put off by Melodia's clingy and presumptuous personality.

This is the defining trait of the Kuno siblings in Ranma ½: both Tatewaki, and his subsequently introduced sister Kodachi, fixate upon a character that they find physically attractive and promptly declare themselves to be head-over-heels in love with them, regardless of that character's say in the matter. Tatewaki is introduced as this for Akane Tendo, but also becomes this for Ranma Saotome's female form after she beats him up in Ranma's first duel with him. Kodachi, meanwhile, falls head-over-heels for Ranma Saotome after he saves her from a nasty fall... that he inadvertently caused by accidentally hitting her in the head with a kettle whilst they were both Roof Hopping. In both cases, they steadfastly ignore that the objects of their affection repeatedly and vehemently insist that they're not interested in dating them, with Tatewaki in particular routinely being pounded by his two "lovers" for his lechery.
Mousse of the Joketsuzoku has a similar deal, chasing endlessly after Shampoo, who makes it clear that his efforts to blame her coldness on her Accidental Engagement to protagonist Ranma Saotome are just his futile effort to deny that she was rejecting him for years before either of them met Ranma.

A running gag on Black Jack has Pinako proudly claim the titular doctor is her husband and she is his wife. Depending on the adaptation, he himself sees Pinako as either a daughter or just an assistant. This isn't helped by the fact that she's mentally 18, but her body is that of a little girl's because the mass she had left could only afford her that kind of body in an operation.

In Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus, Wenlock introduces himself to Princess Annika as her "future husband", much to her outrage. She is quick to reject his marriage proposal, so he tries to force her into it by turning her parents and some of her people into statues and threatening to leave them that way.

Kouko was this to Mitsuo at the beginning of Golden Time because they were childhood friends and used to live near each other, she decided on her own that they were in love, and destined to be with each other. Because of this, she had been following him for years to make sure their lives would go perfectly according to the little scenario she had formulated in her mind. He gets her to stop this after a serious talk in episode 4.

One arc on Bones features Angela hunting down her forgotten husband so that she and Hodges can get married. Angela barely remembered the guy, didn't think the ceremony was binding, and wants to close that chapter of her life. When they do manage to get in touch, he comes to D.C. to claim her as his wife. He's spent their time apart building a dream home for her on a tropical island, and he professes to be her soulmate. Angela does kiss him when they reunite and doesn't seem to bear him any sort of animosity, but even after her relationship with Hodges falls apart due in part to his jealousy, she makes it clear that their relationship is over and never ranked as particularly serious to her.

Miraculous Ladybug:
Chloé considers herself to be Adrien's girlfriend and takes every opportunity to display her affection towards him. Adrien himself regards her as a friend at best — and at worst, a way too clingy annoyance. She pretty much drops this after "Queen Banana" though.
Cat Noir is madly in love with Ladybug and makes his feelings very clear. All the time. He's sincere, but Ladybug rebuffs him because he comes across as too playful and because she's committed to another boy - ironically, Cat Noir's civilian identity, Adrien.
Marinette is madly in love with Adrien, and considers him "her future boyfriend". She keeps coming up with overcomplicated plans to win him over, has a stash of presents for him for future birthdays years ahead as well as special situations, and tracks their relationship progress with a complex chart of post-its. Fortunately or unfortunately, her inability to just talk to him directly without blabbering incoherently keeps him from finding out.

A Dovahkiin Spreads His Wings:
Robert Baratheon pines after Lyanna, ignoring how she ran away with Rhaegar in order to avoid being forced into a marriage with him. Eventually, he admits that he was more in love with the idea of her, to the point where he questions whether she even existed at all.
Petyr Baelish introduces himself to the Stark girls as a "very good friend" of their mother, much to their surprise, as she'd never mentioned him. He's also interested in the notion of Squaring the Love Triangle by "settling" for Sansa, which Ned naturally doesn't approve of.

On Total Drama, Sierra is definitely the Stalker with a Crush type, first to Cody and later to Cameron (mostly because Cody wasn't around and she kept hallucinating Cameron as him). Aside from putting Cody through hell and getting violently jealous/protective, she once tried to invoke an Accidental Marriage on him.

Megumi "Nodame" Noda from Nodame Cantabile, so much. She actually declares herself Chiaki's wife, and some people take her seriously, but they're actually just neighbors and members of the same orchestra, and Chiaki mostly thinks of her as a pest outside of being a genius pianist. She pretty much hangs around him so much that eventually he stops correcting people that she's not his girlfriend, and even starts referring to her as his girlfriend and eventually they get married.

Wizards of Waverly Place had Harper dabble in this trope for a few seasons with Justin before moving on to Zeke. She would routinely talk about her (imagined) relationship with Justin and claim that any other girl Justin dated was only a temporary fascination and that he would eventually find his way back to her.

He's ten years older than her and not interested in the least, but unfortunately for him, Alfarid doesn't really care, and regularly introduces herself as his wife anyway.

Outlander: Laoghaire MacKenzie will tell anyone who listens that she and Jamie were well on the way to marriage before Claire showed up and bewitched him, stealing him away. In truth, Jamie and Claire are madly in love and Laoghaire never had any hope of convincing Jamie to pick her instead.

Song of a Northern Sorcerer: Robert treats Lyanna as The Lost Lenore, insisting that she was his one true love and would have made him incredibly happy had they only been able to get married. Never mind that the two of them barely exchanged more than a few words, or how he freely indulged in whoring after their betrothal... or the fact that she was a Butch Lesbian, meaning she wouldn't have returned his feelings anyway due to their Incompatible Orientation.

The Sword in the Stone: The girl squirrel quickly shows interest in Arthur's squirrel form, much to his annoyance. According to Merlin, now that she's chosen him as her mate, it's for life. She's convinced he feels the same way and keeps pestering him with unwanted hugs and kisses while also loyally protecting him from a wolf. Once she finds out he's human, and therefore not in love with her, it breaks her heart.

The Legend of Wonder Woman: Etta claims the attractive Ace Pilot Lawrence Stone has a crush on her after she flirts with him. At first, it seems to just be more of her loud cheerful proclamations that are unfounded in reality, but later it is revealed that he does actually reciprocate her feelings, though no relationship is started between them before the book's cancellation. Probably because of the reactions and prejudice they would face as a white Texan woman and an African American man trying to date in the 1940s.

Infinite Stratos: After weeks of hating Ichika and even attacking him with deadly force on several occasions, Laura does a complete 180 in personality when she rescues Ichika from a Clingy Jealous Girl, kisses him, and declares him to be her wife. The next morning he wakes up to find her naked in his bed. However, after he gets used to the idea of Laura not wanting to murder him, he treats her much the same as his other love interests.

Boa Hancock from One Piece claims to be Luffy's soul mate, despite the fact Luffy has never shown even a passing romantic interest in her. Elder Nyon mentioned that Hancock is under some sort of "love sickness," and whatever it seems to be affecting her pretty badly. She interprets even the vaguest, most nonchalant show of affection or camaraderie from Luffy as a sign that he's her husband and that they are meant to be together for eternity. It's also a hint of her Dark and Troubled Past, which started breaking Hancock when she was just 12 years old — deep down, the powerful Amazon Queen is still an emotionally-stunted young girl... and Luffy was among the first non-females who was kind to her.

Fate/Grand Order: The Lostbelt version of Morgan Le Fay is one to the protagonist. Immediately upon her summoning, Morgan proclaims that the master will have to work hard as her retainer or serve her as a spouse (denoting the master's gender in the process). However, it gets subverted during bond levels 4 and 5 and during her Valentine scene. She states that she said it sarcastically towards human magi (she said the same of Beryl too), but eventually she notes how ironic it is that her statement turned into truth as she genuinely cares for the protagonist.

Bambang and Alan have a tendency to act like Melani and Pipin are already guaranteed to be their wives even though they are just friends at the moment, something Prima has to remind them about.
In episode 61, Alexi introduces himself to Melani's mother as Melani's future life partner, despite never being any close to winning her over and Melani has a boyfriend at that point. Later on, when Alexi gets rejected by Melani, Alexi shows up the next day as if they had just broke up.

Initially, Melodia is disgusted at the idea of having a zombie for a prince, but pursues him because her pride won't accept being rejected by a zombie. As the game goes on, she begins to genuinely fall in love with him, and it's subtly hinted that Zed might like her back, but is A) still hurt by past rejections from other girls, and B) just put off by Melodia's clingy and presumptuous personality.

Erotomania comes up from time to time in Criminal Minds. It's identified by name in "Broken Mirror" in season one. Season three's "The Crossing" also features an erotomanic stalker. Season seven's "Proof" and season eleven's "'Til Death Do Us Part" both feature characters who believe themselves to be in a relationship with their sibling's partner (brothers and a wife in the former, sisters and a boyfriend in the latter), though the unsub in "Proof" at least seems to be aware that it's wishful thinking on his part.

Kagura from Fruits Basket insists that she and Kyo are engaged and generally treats him as though he's already her boyfriend, but that's only because she threatened Kyo to agree to a Childhood Marriage Promise when they were children (with a knife in the manga and 2019 anime and with a boulder in the 2001 anime). Even when Kyo denies it and tells her to stop insisting they're a couple, she'll respond with either tears or violence.

Lum in Urusei Yatsura may be the most famous example: when Ataru saved the world from an alien invasion by beating her in a game of tag and shouted he could now marry (his then-girlfriend Shinobu, but he didn't say that) Lum decided he wanted to marry her, and started acting like a very jealous wife. Zigzagged in that Ataru does actually grow to reciprocate her feelings, to a degree as the series progresses.
Ran is adamant that Rei loves her and she lives in constant paranoid fury of Lum trying to steal him away. In fact, Lum can't stand Rei and would happily give him to Ran if she really wants the Brainless Beauty, but Rei is fixated on Lum and only acknowledges that Ran exists in so far as she consistently gives him food. He does "kiss" her twice in one story, but both times he was trying to lick off smears of anko on her face — the first time from her cheek, the second time from her lips.

Marika in Nisekoi not only claims that she's Raku's fiancée but also that he agreed to it when they were younger. When we get a flashback not long after, it's obvious that she's making it up: The closest he got to agreeing to marry her was telling her that he likes girly girls with long hair, after which she grew out her hair and taught herself to speak in an archaic rich girl style instead of her country bumpkin accent. She did get her father to ask Raku's father to have them betrothed, but Raku himself was completely uninvolved in this decision and he never seriously considers going out with her or returning her feelings. Given the implications that she remembers more of what happened ten years ago than anyone else, she seems to be hoping that he'll mistake her for the actual childhood marriage promise girl whose identity he can't clearly remember.

He only lasted one Charmed episode, but a fellow half-whitelighter once came to claim Paige as his wife. He'd gotten advice from several fortune tellers that the two belonged together and wouldn't take no for an answer until Paige gets engaged to her actual love interest, Henry, though he doesn't do anything to force her into love or marriage. He seems content with trying to convince her, proving himself, and challenging Henry for her hand.

Hank from the Midnight Caller episode "Twelve Gauge" is convinced that his ex Arden was the love of his life, but cruelly dumped him. Turns out she was only his physical therapist, and the two were never in a relationship at all.

Feralnette AU: During Enough Rope, Marinette surprises the whole class by wishing Chloé good luck in her pursuit of Adrien. When Alya protests that Chloé's just delusional and entitled, Marinette points out that she ships LadyNoir despite how Chat Noir treats Ladybug exactly the same way. Thus, by Alya's own standards and logic, Chloé's "relationship" with Adrien is just as viable.

Played dead serious with The White Queen in The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign, who sees herself as already being married to Kyousuke, despite the latter hating her to the point of devoting his life to killing her. The Queen refers to their past together as their "honeymoon" and calls Kyousuke's father "Father".
