I am looking for shoujo or josei where:
the girl meets a guy, any guy, who is either a complete stranger or somebody she only knew vaguely or had a very vague relationship with (i.e. teacher or distant relative or something), and by some coincidence or change of circumstances (moving schools, new job, anything like that), they end up spending time together, whether by coincidence or because they become friends, and then some sort of romance ensues, can be unrequited on either side or a relationship, quick or slow.
stuff like:
hoshi wa utau
coelacanth
dengeki daisy
faster than a kiss
goong
hadashi de bara wo fume
hana no namae
it's not exactly a rare plot device and one of my favourites, so suggestions please. my reading and completed lists are public if you want to look.
thank you!

Ten Days - it's a oneshot, but it's cute.
Arakure (yakuza bodyguard story)
Captive Hearts (fantasy story about a curse)
If you don't mind the theme of pushed into being step-siblings (like Crossroad, which you've read), there's
Honoka ni Purple
Marmalade Boy
Yoru Made Matenai (smut)
Or other smut:
Boku ni Natta Watashi (girl in boys' school story)
Love Monster (sudden fiancee story)
Kindan Princess (girl paying for father's debt story)
Royal Seventeen (bodyguard story)
Uwasa no Midori-kun!! (girl after revenge, gender bender story)
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."
