I put off clicking on this thread because I had convinced myself it was going to be about how your wife was diagnosed with cancer or some other terminal disease, so I wanted to emotionally prepare myself. But instead: video games!
Anyway, every game that features romance is guilty of this, but I think the best example is the harvest moon series, where you woo girls by giving them an apple pie, pearl necklace, or bottle of wine everyday for multiple months until the hidden numbers get big enough and they marry you.
