I also poked a bit at TV Tropes.

As expected, most of the "woman pursuing" tropes are skewed negative; the most positive one I found was Violently Protective Girlfriend.

(After further thought, I also think it's possible that this situation might be more prevalent when the pursuer is wealthy? -- and here I am thinking that Veronica Palmer from Better Off Ted is a good candidate acting this way.)

(And all this discussion is making me want to fic for this, because positive protrayals of Grand Gesture Wooing do seem to be sadly lacking.
