serial dater

Romance butterfly type

A serial dater is someone who moves quickly from one romantic partner to the next, often overlapping relationships or allowing little time between them.

The term can be neutral—describing someone who dates frequently while searching for the right match—or negative, suggesting someone who avoids commitment or treats dating as sport: He's a serial dater; don't expect him to stick around.
