adorer
Doting, reverent one
An adorer is someone who adores—who loves deeply, worships devoutly, or admires intensely.
The word appears in religious contexts for one who worships God, and in romantic or informal contexts for an enthusiastic admirer: She had many adorers but chose none of them.
The term sounds slightly old-fashioned or literary in everyday use.
