Maybe it was Love At First Sight. This can start in a few ways.

This usually ends with the girl revealing that she doesn't care if he's rich or poor, and that she loves him for who he is. Undaunted, our hero engages in some Zany Scheme to get her to notice him or be impressed by him. The poor guy falls for the rich girl, even though he knows that she's out of his league. People around them, however, do, and conspire to interfere with True Love. The poor guy and rich girl mutually fall in love, and neither one cares about their differences in wealth. Maybe they've been friends their whole lives, and the difference in wealth never really mattered.In any case, this is usually played out in one of three ways:
She saves him from his (parents') debt, and he ends up serving her as a Battle Butler to pay her back. A little one-sided, at least at the start, as Nagi (the rich girl) has become infatuated with the extremely-poor Hayate after he saves her from kidnappers. Hayate the Combat Butler. Forbidden Friendship can be seen as the non-romantic version, where two persons of different social standing become non-romantically close. On the other hand, it may become an Undead Horse Trope with the emergence of culture wars and new waves of social stratification in recent years. Not to be confused with City Mouse either.This is transitioning into Dead Horse Trope territory, since interclass marriage is no longer shocking, and the expectation that men should be the breadwinner in the family is much weaker today than it used to be.
Depending on where you are in the series, she either loves his rich friend Rui Hanazawa, and it's difficult to tell what goes on in his head. To elaborate: Tsukasa Domiyouji is a rich bully who falls in love with the poor-as-dirt Tsukushi Makino. Hana Yori Dango (although it's a bit more complicated than that, obviously).
In Victorian Romance Emma is an example where the gender is switched. Unfortunately, the series has a large dose of Break the Cutie for both of them. The series seems to subvert the expectation that Louise's family would be hostile to Saji, as Louise's mother quickly takes to him, especially after hearing that he's an orphan, and basically treats him like a second child (which actually makes Louise jealous, a reaction played for comedy). Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has Saji Crossroad, a poor Unlucky Everydude, fall for Louise Halevy, a Spoiled Sweet Tsundere, whose family is implied to be extremely wealthy and influential. Lina from Heroman comes from a rich-looking family while Joey looks really poor, although this fact isn't brought up at all, although it was hinted at by Lina's dad. The Beta Couple of Soujiro and Yuuki also counts, still with the guy as the Uptown Girl and the girl as the pauper.
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu centers around this. Or rather, they get married anyway. The Parental Marriage Veto doesn't help matters. In this case it's a matter of the third version of this trope, with Emma thinking that her lack of refinement and rank will only hurt William's station and cause trouble for him if they were to marry.
Howls Moving Castle: Sophie (middle-class) and Howl (famous wizard). Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle: Sakura (princess) and Syaoran (middle class). From Umineko no Naku Koro ni, George, a member of the obscenely wealthy Ushiromiya family falling in love with Shannon, one of the servants at the main house. Her father agrees, but who knows? Maybe there's a way for him to gain their respect. That she's an anime & manga otaku! As they spend time together, however, a relationship blooms - initially a type-1, but as Yuuto realizes just HOW wealthy her family is, and what kind of powerful people she usually rubs elbows with (not to mention what kind of men are actively pursuing marriage with her), he slips into a type-3 as he starts to feel 'unworthy' of her.
Zigzagged in Maiden Rose. Meanwhile his actual lover Yuuichi is a former Street Urchin and fears if Iori marries he'll never see Iori again because the family won't need him to quietly sell off their possessions anymore (the only reason their friendship was tolerated in the first place). The Secret Agreement contains examples of both wealth and class differences, with Iori being the only male heir to an increasingly poor but noble family and set to marry into a wealthier but less respectable family for their mutual benefit. Still, it plays just as the trope is described. Slightly inverted in that Haine is not poor in any real sense she's just significantly less wealthy than Shizumasa.
Daniel works to be knighted just so he can be with Tsubaki, but his fixation on class causes even more tension because Tsubaki doesn't want to be associated with the noblility's prostitute system and would rather Daniel had run away with him when they were kids. Subverted in Hana Wa Junai Ni Junjiru, where Tsubaki (presumably lower class himself) is being trained to be a high-class prostitute serving only the nobility and Daniel is a gardener at the manor. Their romance has been developing through all of this, but really comes into force after Klaus has lost his upper-class status. Later, when Klaus becomes Taki's knight, he has to renounce his country, his name and status and becomes the lowest of the low in Taki's country. Eventually Klaus' family lose that status because the monarchy is dissolved when the country falls to the Western Alliance, placing him in the wealthy middle class. When Taki and Klaus first meet Klaus is of the nobility.
"Rich sheik abducts Japanese everyman" is a stock plot in Boys Love manga/light novels, with Eternal Love, Kyokutou No Hanamuko, Sabaku No Oujisama, Ouji To Kotori and Sarou No Ryoshuu being but a few examples. Arthur's friend from school also tries to romance Laurent.
