certified_guy's definitions
An adjective used to describe a guy who has liked the same girl for a long time (usually years) but is too scared to ever make a move, even when his friends encourage him or try to set him up. A peter will overthink everything, avoid taking action, and fumble obvious opportunities out of fear.
Example 1:
“You’ve liked her for two years and still haven’t said anything? That’s actually peter behavior.”
Example 2:
“We literally tried to set you up and you still backed out—bro is actually peter.”
Example 3:
“He talks about her nonstop but won’t even text her. Certified peter.”
