Love Triangle

A is in love with B, but B is in love with C, resulting in wacky hijinks. Alternatively, A and B are both in love with C, who is torn between the two and must make a choice. In the latter case, A and B tend to be friendly rivals.
Can sometimes lead to A stepping back because they just want their beloved to be happy. Alternately, A is a total jerk or clingy and jealous, making it completely okay for B to get C. Of course, A could just attempt to sabotage B and C's relationship, but that would be overly cynical.
Note: More people than three, in more geometries, is still sometimes called a "triangle." The notion of more elaborate combinations is explored further in Love Dodecahedron.
