(Did Not Get the Guy)
Role added by @eclipsestarling on February 21, 2023
Role ID: 10063766
This trope is when The Protagonist — who is clearly not celibate — doesn't end up with the Love Interest. Someone else wins her heart or she has no choice but to marry someone to save her family or something. For whatever reason, the hero ends the story alone. It can be played either for comedy or tragedy. It isn't always a Downer Ending or a Bittersweet Ending, but it sure does tend to be that way. Despite the name, this trope can just as easily apply to not getting the guy. Of course, the idea of a person being something to get, as if she or he is a possession, can be troubling to ponder.
