Pagmamahalang Inudlot ng Tadhana. On TV. Characters that simply flirt, or are close friends that go nowhere, or nothing is never pulled off because it's one-sided, or it becomes a missed chance, or they never say anything, or they have a moment, but it's never followed through. At times, the relationship is begun but is also unceremoniously cut short, or destroyed by the TPTB when the characters are taken in a strange direction.
