shooting star

A girl who has short and insincere relationships, moving quickly from one partner to the next, stringing people along and breaking each person's heart as she goes. After the Elliott Smith song, "Shooting Star."
Often, though, a shooting star can't help her behavior and, while she is largely unaware of its consequences, does it out of personal confusion rather than malice.

Person one: Man, I can't believe that Sara's going out with Jack already; she just broke up with Nick three weeks ago.

Person two: Yeah, soon Jack'll be moping over there in the corner as well; Sara's such a shooting star she'll be after some other poor bloke before too long.
