Placeholder

a person or thing that occupies the position or place of another person or thing

Merriam-Webster Dictionary

It’s safe to say most people are willingly waiting for a specific something or someone. They’re in between relationships, confused about an ex, and just simply not sure what they want. The sad part about this is being the placeholder in any of those situations. You know, the free space in bingo. The person that just falls into an open slot that they just so happened to fill. Can you imagine always being that person ? Good enough to chill with, talk to, have sex with, share dreams and secrets, but doesn’t get to actually occupy that space in real time. It’s a hurtful thing to be especially when you’re a lover and want to give love.  When you’ve allowed yourself to be open to someone and seeing a future just for them to either get back with their ex, meet a person they actually like, or just ghost you and you never know if it was even real. I get it sometimes “he’s just not that into you”, but simple communication could ease the pain that comes up in these situations. It makes you question your worth, because it seems as though all along you knew this wasn’t something they wanted. Is there a way to even avoid being a placeholder?  You would never truly know especially if there are no signs and the person is typically closed off. Just remember dating is a gamble and you can’t make someone see anything in you. There's a possibility no one is really single single these days.
