Examples of Oblivious to Love in Web Comics include:

• The entirely one-way drama plays out in A Moment of Peace. Crux, god of In-Between Places, is completely oblivious to the fact that the goddess of Stories has been crushing on him ever since they started talking at the base of Dawn Mountain.
• Justin in El Goonish Shive has had a deep crush on Elliot for years, which at least one other character knows and several others may suspect, but Elliot himself has never picked up on it. Elliot himself pretended to be oblivious to Sarah's flirtations so she wouldn't feel 'rejected' when finding out he already had a girlfriend. Yeah ... It Makes Sense in Context ... or at least in his own mind. (His girlfriend dumped him, came out as a lesbian, and started dating his twin sister / Opposite Gender Clone, Ellen. He and Sarah are now dating.)
  • Mr. Verres, knowing there's a lot of Human-Uryuom offspring, managed to miss why his Uryuom secretary constantly wears a somewhat exaggerated female human form and likes to sit on his table. Though he is pretty smart (otherwise Lavender wouldn't be attracted, for one).
    • On the other hand, Verres may be deliberately ignoring her. For one, it's not yet known what's going on with his last wife. Tedd thinks she neither loves her husband nor their son any more - but it turned out that Mr. Verres deliberately let him think this and maintains the illusion. Also, she's a magical "powerhouse" and legendary monster hunter somewhere far away, but her sister "disowned" her. Then again, she has more children now.
    • Eventually, this happens.
• In Schlock Mercenary, Lt. Elf had a major crush on Captain Tagon, a crush that was obvious to every member of the crew except Tagon. Pretty much every attempt by Elf to broach the subject was interpreted by the one-track minded - and occasionally stunningly dense - Tagon as referring to their current mercenary job. She eventually gives up on Tagon and hooks up with Second-In-Command and company Mad Scientist, Kevyn.
  • His father ignored the signs until someone spelled it out for him, too^spoilers!.
  • The incident involving both mother and the last girlfriend of Kaff Tagon dying horribly could be one reason why their brains avoid this particular train of thoughts. It may be one of the reasons why Tagon Jr. found a job far from Celeschul as soon as possible to begin with.
• In Corner Alley 13, Noelle fails to realize that Tsac has feelings for her.
• Elan, who is a Genre Savvy mix of The Ditz, Spoony Bard and Cloudcuckoolander from The Order of the Stick, takes hundreds of strips, and dozens of hints, to finally reciprocate Haley's feelings.
  • Although oddly, in the prequel book, he guesses/teases her with the idea shortly after they meet, clearly flustering her. Then he sees something shiny or something...
• Andrew Smith of Gunnerkrigg Court is an interesting case. He puts up with Parley because she's "hotter than hell", but manages to mistake her constant Tsundere-style signs of affection for mockery. Then two strangers told him straight. Then she reacted on giving her a flower (a teacher set him up) by unconsciously teleporting them right into her bed. And starts to spontaneously teleport close to him several times per week. And he still was in the deep stunned surprise when she confessed.
• Hank in Catena is absolutely clueless about the fact that Treiss has a crush on him. Bear also seems to be rather oblivious to Ivy's attraction to him, although to be fair, Ivy herself didn't seem to be aware of it until she noticed him paying attention to other females.
• Out There: Sherry is so very much oblivious to Ari's attraction to her, she thinks that since Ari looks at her differently than she looks at Miriam, it means Ari's attracted to… Miriam. Meanwhile, Miriam, who has decided she's attracted to Ari, can't get Ari to realize it; Ari thinks she has embarrassed Miriam by offering her menial work.
• Megatokyo: The whole school has known about it for years.
• Vriska Serket from Homestuck had no honest idea that her Moirail, Kanaya, was in love with her. In fact, she thought that Kanaya had a crush on Tavros, the object of Vriska's (hate-filled) affection. There's also another moment where Karkat opens a memo, invites John and Dave into it, and starts ripping into them about 'flirting' with Vriska and Terezi. Cue John being thoroughly confused.
  • John is amazingly dense when it comes to this. Even after Karkat's lecture about avoiding sloppy interspecies makeouts, he still manages to interpret Vriska's invitation to go on a date as an offer to hang out and watch some movies as friends.
  • ZigZagged with Jake. At first he seems to be oblivious to his friends all having crushes on him, but soon proves that he's a lot more perceptive than people originally thought. However, when Jane tells him she doesn't have a crush on him, he accepts it immediately even despite her strange behaviour. However, while in a dreambubble later on Dirk, playing the role of his subconscious, suggests that he might have misinterpreted her, though Jake uneasily dismisses the idea. And through all this, he still appears oblivious to Roxy's genuine interest in him, unintentionally or otherwise.
• Squid Row Mouse.
• Bobwhite. Ben is the last person to figure out that Cleo has a major crush on him.
• In Shinigami Death Punch, Purple remains completely oblivious to White's feelings despite increasingly obvious signs. He's also oblivious to Blue's blatant come-ons, a source of eternal frustration for White.
• In Candi, the only member of the cast not aware of Jon's feelings towards Candi (up to and including his (now ex-)girlfriend) is Candi. Complicating things is the fact that Candi gets weirdly skittish when being romantically, so Jon fears that if he confesses his feelings, it will wreck their friendship just as surely as a romance gone sour.
