Place-holder

The guy/girl that is dated or messed around with until the user can get the guy/girl that ditched them to come back.

Often the user was just a place-holder for said ex and didn't know it/can't get over him/her.
girl:Oh yeah I can't wait to hang out with you tomorrow <33!! love you baby
guy:*awesome this is love ^.^*

The following Evening:

girl:Yeah...I'm back with <insert douchebag that just ruined your fucking life> and I wasn't really in love with you.
guy:*Holy fucking shit I'm going to kill myself as soon as I finish thinking this.*

Perfect example of a Place-Holder...often suicide IS the result of being a Place-holder.
Other results are binge-drinking and death threats.

Placeholder

the person one dates, makes out with, or sleeps with while waiting or actively searching for the love of one's life - who is quite often found during or immediately after relationship with said placeholder.
Though also viable, cute, and longing for a longterm relationship, there is often some unknown 'thing' in the placeholder's manner, ambition, world view, or timing that often prevents the placeholder from being "the one."
"I just found out Chris married the woman he started dating when he was still sleeping with me. He told me he didn't want a serious relationship. I feel like such a placeholder."

Eh, he's just a placeholder boyfriend in my life. I hate sleeping alone.

I don't get fazed when I'm into a girl who has a boyfriend. I always just assume that he's a placeholder boyfriend, and that she'll dump him once she finds someone real.
