dateable
Suitable for courting
Dateable describes someone considered suitable or attractive as a romantic partner: He's cute, but is he dateable?
The word implies meeting some baseline standard for going on dates—available, appealing, not obviously flawed.
It can also mean capable of being assigned a date, as with artifacts or documents: The pottery shards were dateable to the Bronze Age.
Also spelled datable.
