Answer #1

People always like a mysterious past. Go for that. Like he or she has a dark secret that as they learn more about the other they learn this dark secret. Or they are thrown into a mess because of their past.

Answer #2

One of them dies? Like, literally star-crossed lovers. One of them has to move. Umm… If your story is set to the ‘older’ days, like, Victorian Times, or something, difference in family status. Love triangles are always so interesting. But don’t forget to let the rejected character find a new love, too!! ^^ Umm… I think that nicky wrote you a lot of good ones… ^^

Answer #3

Breaking up a couple?

I got some ideas:

family disposition (like class difference or simply against the couple)
lovers quarrel (personal needs, family, differences)
love triangle (another character jumps in and creates a triangle)
misunderstood cheating (common)
a dramatic changes between the couple
either the guy or the girl is unable to meet due to tough schedule
frustration due to small amount of time together
“guy/girl is too good for other”
