History Main / LovesMyAlterEgo

** Don't forget Lori, a student at the high school who has a pretty open crush on "Adrian", but considers Cybersix to be a tramp (possibly not helped by the fact that she was the one who initially jumped to the "Cybersix/Adrian" conclusion). [[spoiler:And then all is resolved in the final episode, when Cybersix hands Lori "Adrian's" glasses...]]

* In ''HarveyBirdman'', Phil is constantly trying to seduce Birdgirl - despite it being horribly obvious to everyone else that Birdgirl is Judy, his ''[[{{Squick}} daughter]]''.
* ''TheFairlyOddparents'' episode where Timmy is "the Masked Magician" may qualify for this - Trixie Tang, who (usually) detests him, finds his eponymous alter-ego to be "a ''cute'' superhero!"

* Inverted in ''{{Phantom 2040}}'': police officer Sagan Cruz has {{UST}} with Kit Walker, but sees the Phantom as a glory-hogging jerk. Particularly when he used his "Good Mark" to ''deface a necklace Kit gave her'' (It struck him as appropriate since it ''already'' symbolised their friendship, but it hadn't occured to him that it looked like the actions of two seperate people.)

* On ''BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold,'' BlueBeetle spends one episode [[PrecociousCrush smitten]] with {{Huntress}}. The same episode has him escorted around Gotham University by [[HotTeacher Professor Bertinelli]], whom [[ClarkKenting he doesn't recognize]] and doesn't seem particularly attracted to. (Though perhaps that's because her Huntress outfit is [[MaleGaze significantly more revealing]]...)

** Tobey is a StalkerWithACrush for Word Girl, but he treats Becky like any other average citizen.

* ''PhineasAndFerb'' plays with this in one episode. Isabella gets annoyed that her usual crush, Phineas, keeps disappearing when she needs him. Meanwhile she swoons over the Beak, the new superhero, whom she follows around LoisLane-style. Of course, the Beak is actually Phineas (and his brother, Ferb) in a robotic suit. GenreSavvy Candace calls her out for her GenreBlindness.
--> '''Candace:''' Congratulations, you just earned your "uh, durr" patch.
* [[HeyArnold Arnold's]] attraction to Helga (disguised as Arnold's French pen pal Cecile) in the episode "Arnold's Valentine". Helga even soliloquizes about it:

See also YouCannotPleaseEveryone.

* ''RosarioToVampire'' is something of a subversion of this trope. Tsukune falls in {{love at first sight}} with [[ShallowLoveInterest Outer Moka]], but he's at least quite fond of [[{{Tsundere}} Inner Moka]], and has recently said that "he'd like the two of them to become one". Take that as you will.

* In {{Onidere}}, the female protagonist uses an alter ego to get close to her boyfriend without ruining her reputation as the school's top delinquent and is afraid of losing him to her alter ego, unaware that he figured out.

* Parodied in a special [[SuperDeformed chibi]] style short of ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Aang, Jet, Haru and Prince Zuko all battle it out for Katara's affection... only to find out she's already chosen The Blue Spirit, Zuko's alter-ego. Zuko faints saying "I did ''not'' see that one coming."

** Which is ridiculous because in SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Lois ''is'' attracted to Clark [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend she's just in denial.]]

* ''PhineasAndFerb'' plays with this in one episode. Isabella gets annoyed that her usual crush, Phineas, keeps disappearing when she needs him. Meanwhile she swoons over the Beak, the new superhero she follows in Lois Lane-fashion. Of course, the Beak is actually Phineas (and his brother, Ferb) in a robotic suit. GenreSavvy Candace calls her out for her GenreBlindness.

* ''{{Megamind}}'' has this with [[spoiler:Roxanne falling for the eponymous character impersonating Bernard]].

* ''DannyPhantom'' has this when the popular girl at school, Paulina, is in love with Danny's ghost form, but doesn't even acknowledge Danny's existence.

* Subverted in ''Manga/WildRock''. Yuuen thinks he's doing a much better job at [[DisguisedInDrag being a woman]] than he actually is and assumes Emba's in love with that side of him. He's not.

* YubisakiMilkTea has an odd example where Yoshinori, the main protagonist, is in love with his OWN alter ego, [[WholesomeCrossdresser Yuki]]. This causes a few issues.

* A strange case in {{Hayate no Gotoku}}, Luca appears to have started to fall for Hayate's alterego, but shows no signs of being a lesbian. She'll probably be relieved to find out that Hayate is actually a guy, though probably unhappy about having to deal with his {{unwanted harem}}.

** Similarly, Catwoman loves Batman, but only considers Bruce a friend. He knows both her identities and seems to love her somewhat.

* ''SailorMoon''. In the anime, Usagi[=/=]SailorMoon loves Mamoru/Tuxedo Mask, while he has a mysterious need to protect Moon. Usagi can't stand Mamoru, who also seems to dislike Usagi. At the same time, he's in love with the mysterious princess of his dreams [[spoiler:who is actually Usagi's past self.]] In the second season, there's also the Tsukikage no Knight, whom Usagi loves while she also loves Mamoru/Mask, though he turns out to be [[spoiler:the astral-projected manifestation of Mamoru's love for Usagi when his memories are sealed.]] The manga is even worse, because Usagi and Mamoru actually like each other there before learning each other's identities.

* Sweet Polly Purebred (practically a Lois Lane {{Expy}} anyway) from ''{{Underdog}}''.

** She still goes through a "your Lelouch when I hate you and Zero when I love you." kind of relationship for some time.

[[caption-width-right:350:The man of Lois' dreams is closer than she thinks.]]

** Before Clark and Lois got married, there was also the character of Cat Grant, who was in love with Clark Kent and had no particularly personal feelings for Superman (whom she liked and admired in the way most Metropolitans like and admire him.) Then, after her character disappeared from continuity for many years, she was [[CharacterDerailment reintroduced]].

* Similarly, Bow likes SheRa and ignores Princess Adora.
