A guy that wants to sleep with his female friend.

He "orbits" her (hangs out with in a needy way) in the hopes of getting sex someday.

If the girl is hot, she usually has many orbiters.

Go open that hot chick. Don't worry about the guy, he isn't her boyfriend, he's just one of her orbiters.

Get the orbiter mug.
When someone who won't speak to you otherwise still watches every snap on your story/ IG and/or likes your posts. Usually someone who has ghosted you, but not always. Basically they're lingering in your life despite refusing to be an active part in it in any other capacity.
This guy won't answer my texts but he keeps watching my snap story... he's totally orbiting me.

A guy who secretly loves his female 'friend', and may go out of his way to accommodate her (couch-mover). Either the guy was shot-down early on and was placed in the friend-zone, or he never had the balls to ask her out and inadvertently placed himself in the friend-zone.
Peter wasn't actually a real friend, he was just another orbiter of yours. That's why he was being an ass to your new boyfriend.

Peter is such an orbiter. Look, he's moving a his hot friend's couch on his back!

A guy who pussyfoots around a specific woman, or women in general, in hopes of getting laid. This almost never works out, as he stays around her dawdling, ogling, and daydreaming rather than actually approaching her.
The orbiter sat patiently as he watched her. Then her boyfriend came along and he knew he had to go.

The third wheel that invades time with potential couples. He is hung up on the girl that invites him to hang out only out of pity. While hanging out with the actual guy she is interested in, an orbiter will constantly text her some really lame shit in hopes to get invited to the festivities. Ultimately, he will invite himself over and make things extremely akward among the potential couple.
Girl: Look what my friend text me
Guy: Lemme see
Orbiter's Text Message: are you hungry? im so depressed and hungry...luckily food is the cure to depression! ;)
Guy: WOW.
Girl: haha
Guy: Is he being serious?
Girl: haha, yes he is bringing me food.
Guy: what a fucking clown
