Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has revealed she has a man in her life who is an ‘orbiter’ as she explains the chilling meaning behind the new dating term.
The 49-year-old radio host gave an update on her single life during Thursday’s episode of the Kyle and Jackie O Show as she discussed the new dating trend of “orbiting.”
An orbiter refers to a person who repeatedly spends time with someone they are attracted to in the hopes that the other person will develop romantic feelings for them.
The Orbiter can be a close friend and will wait until the other person is “vulnerable” or begins to see them differently before expressing their true romantic feelings.
“They’re basically guys who wait years and years until you’re vulnerable to show up and start dating you,” they explained on the Kyle and Jackie O Show.
Speaking about this trend, Jackie admitted that she has someone in her life who is an orbiter and told how she is constantly “checking in” to see if she is still single.
Jackie said the mystery man, whom she did not name, has been “waiting” for her since she split from her husband of 15 years, Lee Henderson, in 2018.
“I have an orbiter. (It’s been) waiting patiently, constantly checking in on it. It’s always like checking in on it, like ‘how are you?’ blah, blah, blah. It’s a no,” he shared.
Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has revealed she has a man in her life who is an ‘orbiter’ as she explains the chilling meaning behind the new dating term.
“That’s what’s amazing, like he hasn’t let up for years, ever since I separated, like he’s holding on. God, how much patience it takes for that!”
Despite her steadfast approach, Jackie insisted that there is no chance she would ever start dating him as she said she has no romantic feelings for him.
It comes after it was revealed that Jackie will find a new man live on air as she embarks on a search for love on KIIS FM.
The blonde bombshell is allowing her co-host, radio host Kyle Sandilands, to introduce her to someone on his radio show.
“Frustrated but hopeful, and in a last-ditch effort, Jackie has handed the reins over to Kyle to find his perfect match,” the radio station previously confirmed.
‘But if Kyle’s approval wasn’t difficult enough, the hopefuls will have to make sure they check off every item on his extensive shopping list.
‘The perfect man, in Jackie’s eyes, would be a man between 30 and 50 years old, 1.80 m or more, fit, healthy, happy, with a good job, goals, loyal, romantic and emotionally vulnerable.’
Jackie admitted that she has someone in her life who is an orbiter: a person who spends time with someone they are attracted to in the hopes that the other person will develop romantic feelings for them.
Jackie also wants someone who will “pay for dinner once in a while,” respond quickly to text messages and “not take advantage of his wealth.”
She is also looking for someone who doesn’t want children, but is open to the fact that she has a daughter, Kitty, 13, whom she shares with her ex-husband Lee.
Her ideal man will also “enjoy getting up early every day, especially on weekends” and “won’t be too smart or too intellectual as to distract her from conversation.”
Over a series of weeks, the shortlisted candidates will face a series of different challenges in which Jackie will be able to “swipe left” on clothing.
Challenges will range from Q&A interviews, live dates, to hitting Jackie’s hot buttons like tarot and psychic readings in the ultimate compatibility test.
The five most eligible bachelors will then get a date and eliminations will take place each week until Jackie’s next man is crowned.
