I made a comment about this and my boyfriend stated that this other guy is called an "orbiter". The lead female character was in a monogamous relationship and had a boyfriend the other guy knew she was in a relationship but still made his presence known to her and always made IRL contact with her as well as regularly calling her and having phone conversations with her. I was watching a movie the other night with my boyfriend and in that movie, there was a guy who was always showing up at the places and situations that the female main character happened to be in. A guy I worked with there and was friends with he wanted to beat the hell out of the guy, I told him to just let it ride. With friends like that who the hell needs enemies. I don't know if it was out of respect for me or she just wasn't interested in him or whatever. Thankfully she wasn't having any part of it. Instead of being a friend to me, he leaped at the opportunity to try and get with my ex-gf. Well, this girl was my HS gf and she decided to dump me. Way back when I had a gf and a guy I knew at work we started to become friendly and started hanging out a bit after work and after a while I introduced him to my GF at the time and we all three did some things together, whatever. I don't have an orbiter story per se but something fairly close. I don't feel threatened at all, more annoyed than anything. He got mad and told her that she is not going to interfere with our relationship, that she is not going to take his happiness away. More recently, she told him that she had a dream about him. Once she saw us out together and told him she could no longer be friends with him. I don't take it that seriously, although I did tell him once that she really needs to get her own man. It's like this girl is helpless and wants him to do everything for her. I got my car inspected that day elsewhere because it is something you just have to do. This most recent time she was bawling because she needed her car inspected and she wanted his help. She seems very needy and texts him a lot, asking him to do this, that, or the other, stuff she should be able to do herself. She would tell him that he was her only friend and would say that she wants a guy just like him. I think at some point she got the wrong idea. He never saw her as anything other than a friend. He took her under his wing, taught her to work out (she lost 100 lbs), introduced her to people, and so on. When my bf was in college, he met this girl that was really overweight, dressed poorly, and had no friends. I have no idea if anyone would call this an orbiter, but I will throw it out there:
