The adjective "benched" refers to someone who is kept as a backup romantic option while not being actively pursued or prioritized. The structure comes from sports, where a player sits on the "bench" instead of playing, implying inactivity. In dating, it means a person receives occasional attention but is not the main focus or committed partner. It is often used to describe being kept in reserve while someone explores other options.
