A guy that wants to sleep with his female friend.

He "orbits" her (hangs out with in a needy way) in the hopes of getting sex someday.

If the girl is hot, she usually has many orbiters.
Go open that hot chick. Don't worry about the guy, he isn't her boyfriend, he's just one of her orbiters.

beta orbiter 

A man a woman keeps around for platonic favors and services as well as for attention. He usually sticks around in the hope he'll some day get with her.
= Who's that guy, is he her boyfriend?

– Nah he's just some whiteknight beta orbiter -- he follows her on Facebook, and now he came to pick her up.
beta orbiter by SomewhereElse December 11, 2016
A guy who secretly loves his female 'friend', and may go out of his way to accommodate her (couch-mover). 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.
Peter wasn't actually a real friend, he was just another orbiter of yours. That's why he was being an ass to your new boyfriend.

Peter is such an orbiter. Look, he's moving a his hot friend's couch on his back!

Beta Orbiter 

A beta male who stays within a close proximity of a female or females in hopes of eventually getting lucky. The Beta Orbiter's tactic is to befriend a female, and proceed give her constant attention via text message or in social gatherings. She keeps them in the friend zone, but a beta orbiter falsely believes he is making progress. He may often trash talk other man she tries to date, claiming that she "deserves better".

Beta Orbiters or men who are cucked up, find themselves befriending women who most likely have daddy issues.
"I know she look fire bro, but you don't want none of that, she surrounds herself with Beta Orbiters at every party. "
A guy who pussyfoots around a specific woman, or women in general, in hopes of getting laid. This almost never works out, as he stays around her dawdling, ogling, and daydreaming rather than actually approaching her.
The orbiter sat patiently as he watched her. Then her boyfriend came along and he knew he had to go.

orbiter guild

orbiter guild /ˈɔ rbɪtər ɡɪld / : an internet guild comprised of orbiters leashed to the whims and approval of an egirl. One will find the guild has a female in charge, and she so happens to be the only female in the roster because the others were rejected or forced out on the basis of egirl jealousy. Has more drama than the Royal Shakespeare Company.
There was one but not only is it not a /vg/ guild anymore it is also just a failed orbiter guild
