Your unicorn is that person you see everywhere and always cross paths with; you both recognize each other, but rarely move past the awkward eye contact because you’ve never actually met.

The term was popularized in the article "Finding Your Unicorn" by Keare and Brown.
"Donahoe had encountered his unicorn earlier that day at the gym. They were standing next to each other and were the only two in the area. It was a little awkward because they had once interacted, Donahoe said, but they didn’t actually know each other."

"Even if you let me yank off your horn, you'll always be my campus unicorn."
