A guy who secretly loves his female '
friend', and may go out of his way to accommodate her (like moving her couch). Either the guy was shot-down early on and was placed in the
friend-zone, or he never had the
balls to ask her out and inadvertently placed himself in the friend zone.
John wasn't actually a real
friend, he was just another orbital of yours. That's why he was being an ass to your
boyfriend.
John is such an orbital. Look, he's moving a his hot
friend's couch on his back!
