This troper's girlfriend managed to do this in a LongDistanceRelationship, via a PM with lots of run-on sentences, stream-of-consciousness...ness and just generally being kind of heartbreaking, considering she was going through a ''very'' difficult time at the moment. It's now seven months after this troper reciprocated her feelings, and we couldn't be happier together. <3

This troper has happened to have done this with his...now ex-fiance, right as she was in the process of breaking up with him. It ended up with her slapping the shit out of me, kicking me in the balls, and then hitting me hard enough to break my ribs. And my heart.

About a year ago, my LoveInterest emerged from a mass of bad rumors about him and a relationship that ended badly, leaving him confused and guilt-ridden. Since I was kinda involved in the mess and I wanted to avoid making things worse (not to mention the issue of forbidden love on my part), I tried to distance myself from him... only to end up having him pull this trope. Part of the reason it worked was the fact that he had never fallen for anyone this hard until then. One year later, though, things are dandy between us. ^^
