simp

Pathetically devoted admirer

Simp is internet slang for someone, typically a man, who shows excessive attention or devotion to another person, usually in hopes of romantic interest.

The word implies the attention is unreciprocated and embarrassing: He's simping for her in the comments again.

To simp is to behave this way.

Originally from "simpleton," the word gained currency in hip-hop before spreading online.
