Crazy-In-Love MLs

Key for various flavors of madly-in-love MLs:

1 - ML pursues FL for a long time before she starts to reciprocate or accept his advances
2 - ML is in lust as well as in love, he shows how physically attracted to the FL he is
3 - ML is super devoted and loyal to the FL, would die for her and do anything to make her happy
4 - ML is jealous and possessive, works hard to keep rivals away from the FL
5 - ML is obsessive to toxic levels. he does morally questionable things in pursuit of the FL such as manipulating or entrapping her
6 - ML is clingy and constantly seeking to spend more time with the FL or capture her attention
- ML is totally whipped; the FL rejects or hurts him and he just loves her more for it

All of these have the MLs falling and chasing first except where indicated with a *
