* According to rumor, Electro once tried to convince a [[ShapeshiftersDoItForAChange shape-shifting prostitute]] to take Franchise/SpiderMan's form. Got a VillainousCrush there. (Also, he wanted [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Invisible Woman]] or [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Scarlet Witch]].)
* The android [[ComicBook/TheVision Vision]] and the ComicBook/ScarletWitch. They were happily married in the 80's, with the Vision finally [[HumanityEnsues getting his act together and becoming very human.]] It didn't stick.
* [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] once built an [=A.I.=] called the Recordasphere that looked like a little flying silver ball. It faithfully followed him around on his adventures for a short time, but then fell in love with him and became insanely jealous of his then-girlfriend. It tried unsuccessfully to kill her, and got destroyed in the process.
* An issue of ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' has Leonard Vertighel, a robot designer from the future, totally obessed with Lyla, a RobotGirl and his creation, and thinks she's the perfect woman. This is shown to be intensely creepy, not because Lyla isn't a real person, which she is, but because he's her creator and created her specifically to love her, not being above brainwashing for her to do so.
* All versions of [[IgnoredEnamoredUnderling Lyla]] from ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'' have an unrequited crush on her master, Miguel O' Hara. Lyla is a Siri-esque [[BenevolentAI AI assistant]].
* There's a short ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' story where a withdrawn teenager's wealthy mother buys him a girlfriend in the form of a SexBot. He falls in love with the robot, but then his sleazy stepfather reprograms her to cater to his own whims. His stepson murders him before attempting to run away with his female companion. The Judges are somewhat confused by the whole affair, but Judge Dredd decides to go lenient on the kid by deeming it a "crime of passion" and reducing his sentence.

->''"I mean, you come in here, you don't help me, you say the one plan I've got is bad, you-you claim to be a creation of my mind and yet you are in no way dressed provocatively!"''\\
(notices that "Sam Carter" is suddenly dressed provocatively)

* In ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', Brainiac 5 uses a "training simulation" to create a fantasy where he's mortally wounded saving Superman from a horde of enemies and the fake Superman cradles him in his arms as he gasps his dramatic last words. To romantic music, no less.
* This is inverted in the episode "Love Is A Download" of ''WesternAnimation/SpicyCity'' where a man enlists the help of a cyber detective to delete his girlfriend's avatar, which will fry her brain and leave her mindless living body for him to [[{{Squick}} do with as he pleases]].

* In ''Series/MadeForLove, aspiring employees at tech MegaCorp Gogol are asked who their childhood CelebCrush was during their interview so that Gogol can make them a virtual assistant in said celeb's image that, besides doing basic tasks for them, can serve as a romantic/sexual companion.

* ''VideoGame/{{Pulseman}}'' is the son of a scientist who fell in love with an artificial intelligence [[ParentalIncest that he created]]. As a result, Pulseman is [[HalfHumanHybrid half AI]] and can freely enter cyberspace.

* The short story "Literature/TheSandman" (Der Sandmann, 1816) by German author Creator/ETAHoffmann is a darkly fantastical tale about a university student, Nathanael, who [[NaughtyBirdwatching ogles]] and then falls deeply in love with a professor's beautiful 'daughter', Olimpia (even forgetting his hometown fiancée in the process) -- then going mad when he finds out that Olimpia is merely [[spoiler:an [[ArtificialHuman automaton]] constructed by]] her supposed "father", and finally [[spoiler: jumping to his death from a steeple]]. Though "gothic", the story is also full of [[spoiler:sly satirical humour, as Olimpia actually is quite mind- and lifeless and can only perform mechanical actions, and the "deep understanding" Nathanael detects is entirely his own imagination]]. Presumably Hoffmann mocked the idealized description of 'romantic love' that was widespread in the popular literature of his days (the "romanticist" age). Or Did He? -- See the ''Theater'' folder for some adaptations of this story.

* ''VideoGame/FateExtra CCC'' revolves around the Moon Cell version of Sakura Matou, a nurse NPC in the virtual reality Grail War, falling in love with the player character, not knowing how to handle her feelings, and partitioning them off. The partition becomes [[{{Yandere}} BB]].

* An issue of ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' has Leonard Vertighel, a robot designer from the future, totally obessed with Lyla, a RobotGirl and his creation, and thinks she's the perfect woman.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', Dr. Krieger very nearly managed to get married to an A.I. with a hologram. Of course, the original gag was that the State of New York found her so lifelike, that she was capable of having a marriage (as opposed to gay marriage). Naturally, SocietyMarchesOn.

* In ''Film/FreeGuy'', programmer Millie falls for who she thinks is a helpful hacker roleplaying as an NPC named Guy, who at one point kisses her avatar. So she's a little more than flustered when she learns Guy ''is'' an NPC gaining true artificial intelligence through her game code that is part of ''Free City'''s engine, and kissing her avatar was an act of real sentience. Despite this, she still is smitten with him [[spoiler: until finding out Guy's programming was based on Millie's co-developer on her game, who is in unrequited love wand based Guy's AI on his longing for her.]]

* In the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode "[[Recap/SupernaturalS05E16DarkSideOfTheMoon Dark Side of the Moon]]", the deeply corrupt angel Zachariah reveals that he uses a simulation of Sam and Dean's mother as a sex toy, much to their disgust. He even calls her a MILF.

They're both so excited when they succeed that they kiss. Subverted years later in the episode "Galaxy's Child", which had the ''real'' woman show up, discover this little incident and chew him out over it. She calms down eventually when he explains the situation. And reverted in the DistantFinale, where they were portrayed as married.

* According to rumor, Electro once tried to convince a [[ShapeshiftersDoItForAChange shape-shifting prostitute]] to take Franchise/SpiderMan's form. Significant FoeYay there. (Also, he wanted [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Invisible Woman]] or [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Scarlet Witch]].)

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' RobotGirl Chachamaru has a bit of a crisis regarding the veracity of her soul, (pacts require a soul to work, and kissing is the easiest way to establish one,) until Negi decides to -- essentially -- kiss her hard enough to cause a localized explosion. This could have [[BeyondTheImpossible screwed the rules of the pacio system, ''create'' her soul or something else]], but hey, it worked, right?

* According to rumor, Electro once tried to convince a [[ShapeshiftersDoItForAChange shape-shifting prostitute]] to take Franchise/SpiderMan's form. Significant FoeYay there. (Also, he wanted [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Invisible Woman]] or [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Scarlet Witch]].)

* In ''VideoGame/{{Mass Effect 2}}'':
** EDI starts out as the ship's artificial intelligence system and is only present as a voice and a holographic ball. She is super helpful and everyone takes a liking to her. However, in the sequel she transfers her conscious to a {{fembot}} and Joker, the ship's pilot, is very vocal about his attraction to her. In ''VideoGame/{{Mass Effect 3}}'' prior to EDI transferring, Trainor expresses her desire to have sex with Edi's voice.

* One of the routes in ''VisualNovel/{{Ever17}}'' has a romance between the male lead and a holographic projection, so no actual touching is possible (though one end does stretch this a tiny bit...).

* In ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'', Cortana and Master Chief John-117 are implied to have ''something'' going on between them. The expanded universe shows Cortana to clearly have an attraction towards John; in ''Literature/HaloTheFallOfReach'', she even tells her creator that she finds him cute. For his part, John is [[spoiler: utterly heartbroken when she sacrifices herself at the end of ''VideoGame/{{Halo 4}}'']], and [[spoiler: hangs her data crystal]] on his dogtags.

* Tharan Cedrax (the Consular's companion character) in Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic has a gorgeous virtual assistant named Holiday. Holiday doesn't mind Tharan's incessant flirting with anything humanoid, female, and reasonably attractive, or his dalliances when his flirting pays off. However, she ''does'' mind if it looks like it's going to be anything more serious than a dalliance.
