Orbiting is a term used in modern-day dating. Orbiting in dating means exes that are in your orbit, but never talk to you. It is also a new trend, and people are not so familiar. They are always on your Instagram story, always the first to open your Snapchat, almost never miss any of your WhatsApp posts, but never talk to you or drop a comment. They are called orbiters and they constantly monitor your life from a bird's eye view.You are simply the “Maybe” person, the backup plan for when their main option fails, the other option.
