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

Spam Obliteration and Prevention (SOAP) 

Previously known as VSTF (Vandalism Spam Task Force), SOAP is a made up of bunch of maniacs who love to global block absolutely innocent people. Just as their name suggests, this team acts without thinking and they global block TOTALLY INNOCENT PEOPLE along with the criminals, just like how soap water kills normal cells with the pathogens.
The whole Spam Obliteration and Prevention (SOAP) team is like a self-exploding bomb in the battlefield that you cannot launch and cannot escape from, which you can only hopelessly stare at while its timer goes down, slowly but steadily...
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!

The Beta Orbiter's tactic is to befriend a female, and proceed give her constant attention via text message or in social gatherings. She keeps them in the friend zone, but a beta orbiter falsely believes he is making progress. He may often trash talk other man she tries to date, claiming that she "deserves better".

Beta Orbiters or men who are cucked up, find themselves befriending women who most likely have daddy issues.
"I know she look fire bro, but you don't want none of that, she surrounds herself with Beta Orbiters at every party. "
