ghost boyfriend

A guy that a friend is dating and talks a lot about but you've never met, with the implication that he's not real.

It's a super common phenomenon among gay men, especially when guys are dating someone who is not fully out. However, it's not unheard of among straight women.

In some instances, the situation revolves around the ghost party considering the relationship to be a booty call situation, while the other mistakes this as real romantic interest with a possibility of depth.

I totally hung out with the ghost of ex-boyfriends past today, and I cant believe I used to date a dude who wore v-necks AND one who wore MC Hammer pants. Makes so much more sense now why these dudes are my ex's.
More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
