* ComicBook/AmadeusCho famously denied that he and [[ComicBook/IncredibleHercules Herc]] were romantically involved in any way, saying "I am not his eromenos"[[note]]Eromenos - submissive male partner in homosexual relationships in ancient greece[[/note]]. Among other funny lines like "The technical term is [[InsistentTerminology adventuring companions]]" and "I've read those internet postings too, and take it from the source, they're total bull!" Much later in ''Prince of Power'' #1, the Griffin taunted him by saying he heard someone killed his boyfriend and asked if it was [[DudeNotFunny too soon]]. Cho just replied that it was [[DeadpanSnarker right on time]].

Compare/contrast with StupidSexyFriend, wherein deciding they ''should'' just be friends is contrasted with the thoughts they can't get rid of about being more than friends, and InsistentTerminology ("She's not my girlfriend, she's my very close gal pal!")

Yes, she is. If she isn't, she eventually will be. ResistanceIsFutile. [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality Narrative Causality]] compels you.

* In the ''ComicBook/MegaMan'' comics, Vector Woman frequently teases Protoman and Quake Woman about their "relationship".

See also RelativeError, for when the pair involved are relatives of each other, and MistakenForRomance, for when the pair involved actually ''aren't'' a pair.

* ''Comicbook/YTheLastMan'': Yorick frequently has to inform people that his bodyguard Agent 355 is not his girlfriend. Ironically 355 often pretends Yorick is her transsexual girlfriend in order to hide that he's the last man on Earth.

* Yamato in ''VisualNovel/MajiDeWatashiNiKoiShinasai'', regarding Miyako, all the time--though he's [[JustFriends actually got a reason to do so]]. Except, of course, in her path, where he comes around rather quickly once he's made his decision. There are also choices in the game where, if you actually say she ''is'' your girlfriend, you'll immediately end up in an ending with her, whether you were joking or not.

** ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'': When Quark refers to the girl from Tenmyouji's photo as "his first love", Tenmyouji replies that she's not. Sigma doesn't buy it for a second and calls Tenmyouji a "hopeless romantic". [[spoiler: Tenmyouji is Junpei and the girl is Akane, so Quark and Sigma turn out to be right.]]

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': Linus is constantly telling Sally, "I'm not your sweet babboo!" In this case, HE means it, but SHE doesn't. The phrase became so [[MemeticMutation popular]] that there's even a strip compilation book entitled ''I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo!''

* In "Thanks For The Feedback: Date With Doug," WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick denies having any attraction to WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic. It was a little too firm to be believed anyway, but lost all credibility when Doug and Lindsay confirmed later that the characters had already had sex at this point.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': The young merfolk Firra and Renno who live just off Paradise Island have to explain empathically that they are not dating and are just good friends. In this case neither of them have any romantic interest in the other, but ComicBook/WonderGirl has a hard time believing them since Renno was spending so much time at a dance with Firra.
