Bob has had a crush on Alice for a long time, but she either ignores him, coldly turns him down, or considers the two of them Just Friends. At some point, Bob gets the message and moves on with his love life, and starts seeing Carol. Suddenly, the relationship is reversed, with Alice pining after Bob, leaving him forced to choose. This kind of Love Triangle may involve a Green-Eyed Epiphany if Alice didn't know her own feelings. If Bob is deliberately trying to invoke this feeling in Alice, it's a case of Operation: Jealousy. However, if Bob got rejected and rejects her back through severing all ties to Alice, his usage of Silent Treatment may be mistaken for this trope if Alice keeps trying to contact Bob. In cases where Carol is not present and Bob moves on on his own, this becomes a Sub-Trope of Perspective Reversal. See also All Love Is Unrequited, Will They or Won't They?, Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace (for the former crush who waits until the last minute), Love Revelation Epiphany (for realizing their feelings because of the confession), Mutual Pining (for when one party mistakenly thinks the other person has moved on), and Romantic False Lead. This is not to be confused with You Are Too Late. |

In Oliver & Company, mangy chihuahua Tito develops a thing for the sophisticated Georgette, who is quite put off by Tito and his advances. That is until the movie's climax when Tito manages to save her and the gang from colliding with an oncoming subway train. Afterwards, the affection becomes briefly mutual, as Georgette forcefully starts pampering Tito, scaring him off. | |

Final Fantasy VII has Cloud and Tifa. Tifa has a crush on Cloud. Whether Cloud notices or not depends on the players' actions. Although, if you choose Tifa it turns into Childhood Friends Romance. Back when Cloud and Tifa were still kids, Cloud had a crush on Tifa and always watched her from a distance because he was too shy to talk to her (which Tifa didn't notice). Tifa only develops feelings for Cloud after he leaves to join SOLDIER. Along with Tifa make Cloud a promise to her. | |

Occurs in the first Spider-Man movie. Peter crushes painfully on MJ the whole movie while she's dating other men, and when she finally starts to reciprocate his feelings at the end of the film, he's decided that he can't be with her at the moment due to his superheroics. Of course, that stops by the time the sequel rolls around. | |

Happens in The Guild after Codex breaks off her "fake relationship with a fictional version of Fawkes," who normally only does one-night stands. However, to the latter's surprise, Codex proves "interesting," so he makes an attempt to pursue her further, only to be told off. Although nothing's certain until Season 5, this also seems to happen with Codex and Zaboo, after Zaboo finally (mostly) gets over Codex at about the same time she concludes (privately) that he passes her "litmus test." | |

In Plan B, Bruno is initially determined to convince Laura to get back together with him even if he has to deceive her new boyfriend to do it, but she tells him that there's no way in hell they’re getting back together (she's fine with no-strings-attached sex, but nothing else). By the end of the film, she's changed her mind and is open to getting back with him but he no longer wants to do so after falling in love with her (now ex-)boyfriend instead. | |

Etra chan saw it!: Back in Middle School, Tokusa had a crush on Yuzuriha, but was rejected for looking like a baby. Years later, at a Middle School reunion, Yuzuriha suddenly becomes interested in Tokusa after seeing how much he's grown and hearing he makes a lot of money. At that point, Tokusa had already gotten over her, knowing how horrible she is, and rejects her in favor of Tsutsuji, who he's already engaged to. | |

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1: By the time Katniss Everdeen realizes she's in love with Peeta, he's been brainwashed. So he tries to strangle her. Ouch. This leaves her... rather bitter, to say the least. | |
