Alice runs into Bob, but Bob is acting very strange today. He may have had a Green-Eyed Epiphany of some sort, is upset that Alice is avoiding him, or just at the breaking point of being repeatedly insisted that he's not a potential Love Interest. Regardless, his emotions have built up to the point he can't contain them. Alice may be Oblivious to Love, refusing to admit how she feels, or just simply unsure. The moment Alice tries to leave, Bob quickly slams his hand on the wall and traps her against it with his body, stopping her from running away. It's a way to intimidate her, but also a way for him to get physically close to her.
It may not have been Love at First Punch, but it does get the message out through and clear. Alice becomes more and more confused about how she sees Bob, and usually it results in a Relationship Upgrade.
This trope is better known to the Japanese public as the "kabe don" (wall pound). It's when a character (usually Always Male, at least in heterosexual pairings) physically corners a Love Interest using the body to block any chance of escape. It's often accompanied with a "BAM!" sound effect from pounding the wall (the "don" in kabe don). The Wall Pin Of Love is often Played for Drama and increases tension between the characters. It may be given with an Anguished Declaration of Love or a Forceful Kiss from the person doing the Wall Pin. May also lead to Wall Bang Her. A well-known parody of this originating in the Japanese Twitterverse was known as the "semi don" (cicada block), uses both arms and legs, and was subject to much Memetic Mutation.
The Wall Pin of Love is a very popular staple in Harem Genre, Shojo and Yaoi romance. Many news outlets have reported that it is the "ideal" scenario for many Japanese women. Despite this, the Wall Pin of Love can lead to Unfortunate Implications because the emotional and physical intimidation is common in domestic abuse. Because of how frequent and popular it is in Eastern works, there may be Values Dissonance involved in how it's accepted. People in the West are more likely to see the Wall Pin of Love as anything but romantic, and even a bit rapey. It is common enough in romantic works that a lot of works will play with the trope, swapping gender expectations, a wall pin over enthusiasm of a non-romantic topic, etc.
Outside of a romantic context, the Wall Pin can simply be used to intimidate people. A Loan Shark might use it when he doesn't get his money. However, if it's simply a Neck Lift applied to a wall or shoving a person into the wall, then it doesn't count. The Wall Pin has to involve someone trapping another with the body. In less serious works, this may be Played for Laughs by having the victim assume they're being flirted with.
Unlike Pinned to the Wall, this generally involves no pointy objects.

Blend-S:
Episode 10 has Dino attempt to demonstrate this with Mafuyu, but it fails due to the height difference resulting from Dino being the tallest member of the cast and Mafuyu being the Token Mini-Moe.
Episode 11 is outright titled "Good at Tsundere, Bad at Kabedonnote Translated by Crunchyroll as "cornering."". It has Dino attempt to explain the concept to Maika. He is unable to explain it in a reasonable manner, so Hideri pushes him towards Maika to demonstrate it. The stinger of the episode then has Maika pin Dino to the wall and apologize for her earlier behavior.

In book 3 of Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series, Traitor's Moon, Alec gets uncharacteristically forceful with his older lover Seregil, pinning him roughly against a hallway wall and kissing him hard after Seregil half-teasingly asks "Are you ashamed of me, my stiff-necked Dalnan prude?" because Alec got embarrassed when one of their guards lightly teased them about having very audible sex during the previous night and because Alec had been shying away from even just mild public displays of affection between them up till this point in the book. In this case, the wall-pinning is not meant to be intimidating at all, but rather it shows that Alec will swallow his discomfort with publicly being out about their same-sex relationship and do something unmistakably intimate where other people could see them, if that's what it takes to reassure his chronically depressed lover that he is still very much attracted to him. And this scene also serves to show that by this point, they have a much more power-balanced relationship than the classic Lover and Beloved character dynamic, despite the fact that Alec is only 19 and shy about sexual matters, at least in public.

Star Trek: Enterprise. Used for Belligerent Sexual Tension in the Mirror Universe episode. The mirror counterpart of T'Pol tells Mirror-Trip how she lured him with a promise of a sexual tryst only to brainwash him as a Manchurian Agent to carry out sabotage (for which he was tortured afterwards). Trip slams his hand into the wall next to T'Pol's head; then it turns out he's activating the intercom there to tell the captain that he's completed his repairs.

In Lost Judgment, Yagami can make cowering opponents surrender with an EX action when in Snake Style. If he has an opponent against a wall when he does so, he gives them a kabedon and a Death Glare worthy of Kiryu before the opponent passes out in fright.

In The Youkai Computer Knows, the twentieth novel of the Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note series, Aya was given this by one of her classmates (which is not part of her Reverse Harem, mind you). The plot relevant point is that Mikado noticed the smell of synthetic cannabinoids that rubbed off from him to Aya.

Happens multiple times to Yuki in Cheeky Brat. She often gets flustered when it comes to Sho, because the attraction there's mutual and he tends to do it anywhere and everywhere, but it gets a bit awkward for her when it comes from someone else like Suwa, because she has no idea how to react given that she's already in a committed relationship.

Chapter 2 of Otherside Picnic opens with Toriko seemingly performing this on Sorawo, to her complete bemusement. As it turns out, she noticed that one of Sorawo's eyes had turned bright blue after their close call with the Kunekune, and she just wanted a better look. There is definitely a Ship Tease angle to it, particularly when Toriko murmurs that the color is "so pretty," causing Sorawo to become flustered.

A subversion occurs in Cold Days between Harry Dresden and Karrin Murphy. It actually starts out as Harry losing his temper because of the Winter Mantle and slamming his hand against the door beside Murphy's head, either as an attempt to intimidate her or just out of pure anger and frustration. Instead of being scared or angry, Murphy gently talks Harry down and takes his hand, turning it into a Wall Pin of Love as she brings him back to himself and helps make the Winter Mantle go away. They're left holding hands and reaffirming their love and support of one another after this bit.

In the World of Warcraft expansion Battle for Azeroth, the out-of-game cinematic Lost Honor includes the orc Varok Saurfang performing an intimidating wall punch beside the head of human King Anduin Wrynn, who has come to speak to him in his prison cell. Though Anduin is mostly nonplussed by the orc's behavior (which suitably impresses Saurfang) note  Anduin is justified in being unintimidated here. He is an extremely powerful magic-user, who could kill Saurfang very easily. Saurfang may or may not be aware of that fact. Although this relationship is not romantic or sexual, it still counts as "of love" because they very quickly develop a surrogate father-son dynamic.

In Manly Appetites: Minegishi Loves Otsu Minegishi does this to Otsu upon being gifted chocolate from him. In a surprisingly realistic use of this trope, Kunai and Otsu both point out how threatening that sort of behavior comes off and how he'd be in real trouble if he did that to a female coworker. In Minegishi's defense, he was so overwhelmed by Otsu giving him chocolate that he wasn't really aware of his own behavior, but he still heartily apologized to Otsu. Otsu still seems pretty flustered by it.

A substory in Yakuza 6, "The Kabedon Prince," has Kiryu learning of the trope after first rescuing an actor known as the Kabedon Prince from jealous thugs, then having it explained and shown to him first hand to his annoyance. The thugs come back and after Kiryu sorts them out again, he gives the leader a kabedon of his own that's more life threatening than romantic, making the guy piss himself, give Kiryu his money and leave. The actor considers Kiryu to be the Kabedon King, which he feels has a nice ring to it.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War:
Shirogane advises another student to do this when they come to him for advice on how to ask out Kashiwagi. Shirogane doesn't really have any idea what he's talking about, but it works, and the two of them go on to become the Beta Couple.
One of the final bonus chapters of We Want to Talk about Kaguya has Saburo asking Iino and Ishigami how to get Karen to finally notice him, with Iino suggests doing this just like with what Shirogane did with Tsubasa.note Ishigami on the other hand uses the same advice that Kaguya gave him to attract Tsubame by getting his grades up, which doesn't really apply here since Saburo was already ranked 3rd in his year It almost works... until he turns around to ask the two if he did it right, which leads Karen to believe that he was just acting out some sort of fantasy rather than an actual confession.

Arcane: While visiting a brothel, Vi pins Caitlyn against a wall while "convincing" her to pretend to be a prostitute so they can get information, asking if she'd prefer male or female customers. Caitlyn is too flustered to get a response out before Vi just grabs a random (male) customer walking by. It's also Played With, in that Vi has known Caitlyn for less than a day and doesn't fully trust Caitlyn due to her status as an Enforcer and a topsider, so she's mainly doing it to mess with Caitlyn whilst she goes straight to the brothel's madame to get the information they need. However, the Ship Tease is still there; on her way back, Vi takes note of Caitlyn appearing to be much more relaxed and comfortable chatting to a female patron, and seems to be pleasantly surprised by the sight.

Steven Universe: In "Alone Together":
While showing Steven an example of a Fusion Dance, Garnet suggestively pins a madly blushing Pearl to the wall with both of her hands—then Pearl suddenly stops blushing and nonchalantly looks to Steven.
Steven tries to imitate Garnet while dancing with Pearl, which just looks ridiculous because he's barely as tall as her waist.
Kevin invades Stevonnie's space by boxing them against the wall with his body, though he only does it on one side.

The Dangers in My Heart:
Yamada unintentionally does this to Ichikawa when they get cramped together in an elevator from too many people coming in. Ichikawa closes his eyes so that he won't have to stare at her inappropriately... then when the ride ends he sees Yamada unconsciously staring close into his face.
Ichikawa avoids Yamada for two days after she pulls a Fake-Out Make-Out on him to ward off Nanjou, leading to Ichikawa feeling "used" and in his overwhelming sense of pessimism, assumes that their friendship to that point was a tool for fending off the unwanted attention of other boys. On the second day, Ichikawa tries to ignore and walk away from her, forcing Yamada to chase him down the stairs and pin him to a wall.
Ichikawa later does this to her when she almost pulls out a magazine (By the same publisher she modeled for) from his bedsheets, causing him to slam his hand down on the book near her head. Yamada also blushes hard from staring at his neck. She later "pays him back" when he almost sees a bottle of Milk Tea he bought for her near her window.

Nurse Hitomi's Monster Infirmary: Ken Tatara does this with all four of his arms to Hitomi in his intro chapter, though he's such a Tsundere that it comes off as harassment rather than affection.

Sophia pulls one on Katarina in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, much to another of the LoveInterest's annoyance. It's mostly played for laughs, since Sophia is at least a foot shorter than Katarina, and Katarina is oblivious enough that she doesn't realize what Sophia is trying to do anyway.

Good Omens (2019): Crowley attempts to do an intimidating version of this to Aziraphale to protest being called "quite a nice person". However, Aziraphale simply stares at Crowley while he rambles, until they're interrupted by Mary Loquacious, who identifies them as having an "intimate moment."

Since most of the players of Critical Role are well-established anime dubbing voice-actors and longtime fans of the genre themselves, they have occasionally used this trope for early ship-teasing. Interestingly, all of their uses of this trope so far have inverted the usual gender dynamic.note  (Mollymauk was very flamboyant and was supposed to come across as genderfluid even if the players used male pronouns for him. So he was very extroverted and pushy but also somewhat more feminine than Caleb, who also was bisexual but not particularly gender-nonconforming.)
Campaign 1: During the Whitestone arc (episode 31), Vex'ahlia (played by Laura Bailey) slammed Percy (played by Taliesin Jaffe) against a wall and held him there to force him to look her in the eye while she demanded to know whether he was mentally still in control of himself, so she could tell if he was lying. (Though Laura's Insight check failed.) This was long before either of these characters realized they were in love with each other, but the other players immediately commented that it was a sexy move and it certainly set the tone for these characters' later relationship. Sadly, this scene is not in the animated adaptation - the closest that version gets is Vex angrily yelling at and slapping Percy when he has a moment of trauma-induced despair. But that came across as more abusive than sexily dominant.
Campaign 2: Very early on in this storyline (episode 10), Mollymauk (played by Taliesin Jaffe) "gently and socially" pinned Caleb (played by Liam O'Brien) against a wall, ostensibly just to intimidate and talk some sense into Caleb because Molly thought he had not shared some looted money with the rest of the party. But Taliesin was pretty obviously using this trope intentionally to test Liam's willingness to get into a romance subplot with him. (This scene came just a couple of episodes after Molly gave Caleb a slap and a kiss on the forehead as a form of Cool-Down Hug to jolt him out of a Heroic BSoD style trauma flashback.) Unfortunately, Caleb was too traumatized and introverted to react positively (or with anything but shock or discomfort) to such forceful attempts at 'flirting', despite admitting a dozen episodes later that he does find Mollymauk "magical" (i.e. attractive). Instead, Caleb first developed an unrequited crush on the cute and cheerfully unthreatening Manic Pixie Dream Girl of the group. And eventually he slowly formed a tentative and cerebral romantic attachment to a very reserved, demisexual and young-looking wizard who had some issues with touching people.

Episode 11 is outright titled "Good at Tsundere, Bad at Kabedonnote Translated by Crunchyroll as "cornering."". It has Dino attempt to explain the concept to Maika. He is unable to explain it in a reasonable manner, so Hideri pushes him towards Maika to demonstrate it. The stinger of the episode then has Maika pin Dino to the wall and apologize for her earlier behavior.

Let's Speak English: In "Romance 101", two of Mary's students teach her about kabedon by acting it out after she assumes it's a type of food.note Presumably, Mary assumed it was a donburi (rice bowl) type of dish, which usually uses the -don suffix, e.g. katsudon (pork cutlet bowl) or gyuudon (beef bowl). Mary is amazed that she didn't know there was a word for it until now.

Japanese Twitter's version of the wall-pin originated from a simple chart◊ drawn by Maki0046 about (mostly) standard examples of kabe-don.

Averted in Captain America: The Winter Soldier: Steve pins Natasha against the wall, but because he's genuinely angry at her. Despite the frequent Ship Tease between them, they don't go any farther than being friends. It is notable, though, that this bit happens during said wall pin that is still charged with Unresolved Sexual Tension:

Pop Team Epic pokes fun at this with Pipimi pinning Popuko, her hand hitting the wall so hard that it sends them, the wall, and the floor beneath them flying. The anime version goes a step further by portraying the initial wall-pin via a Tokimeki Memorial-style visual novel interface, followed by the wall traversing a bunch of mining cart tracks à la Donkey Kong Country.

In My Senpai Is Annoying, Sakurai’s kid brother Yuto becomes curious about kabedon and decides to try it out. He practices with his sister to see her reaction, but her response is to hug her brother. Yuto ends up on the receiving end of a wall pin with Natsumi, a woman he’s crushing on, only because the train they were on experienced a sudden jolt.
