Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations with a very specific trope and I need your help finding them!

I want books where:

•	MMC has fallen HARD for the FMC, we’re talking full-on, helpless, gone-for-her pining  
•	She is completely oblivious. Zero clue. Not a single suspicion.  
•	But literally EVERYONE else can see it: his friends, her friends, family, coworkers, strangers on the street, the barista, the dog, EVERYONE  
•	He is too awkward/nervous/flustered around her to do anything about it himself  
•	So the people around them basically get so fed up watching this disaster unfold that they take matters into their own hands and start playing matchmaker

I love the idea of the whole social circle collectively losing their minds over this oblivious disaster duo, and deciding that if HE won’t do something about it, THEY will. Bonus points if it’s comedic, if the matchmaking attempts are chaotic, or if there are multiple POVs showing how everyone around them sees what’s happening before she does!

Any format works — contemporary, historical, fantasy, whatever. Just give me all the books where the poor man is absolutely perceived by everyone except the one person he wants to notice him 😂

Thanks so much!! 💕

Feel free to tweak the tone or add any extra details before you post!
