8 Love Interests Who Died Before You Could Properly Smooch Them

Don't you hate it when there's someone you like, and you're going to make a move, but then they get turned into a fancy ghost before you can smooch them? Consider these poignant pairings even less requited than Dom and Marcus, and subscribe for more like this: http://www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox

We couldn't help but lead with Aeris from Final Fantasy VII, not least because the comments would otherwise be a nightmare.

Plenty of FF7 players spent their time trying to cozy up to feisty freedom fighter Tifa, but others fell for sensitive, curious flower girl Aeris.

As you’re no doubt aware now, but we totally weren’t at the time, Aeris meets an untimely end mid-way through the game, long before she and Cloud get past the awkward small talk phase. Nearly 20 years and we’re still not over it.

Then there’s Carley from the first episode of Telltale’s The Walking Dead, who proves to be a smart, capable addition to your rag-tag band of survivors after you pick her over Doug to survive a zombie encounter in the first episode.

Then just as things seem to be blossoming between Carley and Lee, fellow survivor Lily domes her during an argument and that’s that.

We’ll never know if things could have been different if we’d picked Doug instead, because literally no one in the whole world picked Doug instead. Not even Doug.
