When you find yourself always texting your boyfriend or girlfriend first but stop for as long as you can in order to see how long it would take for them to text you first. Usually ends up with the intended partner cutting off all communications because they arent interested in how you feel or how your day is going or what you are doing. Said partner is usually only interested in sex but leads you to think otherwise.

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed
