swooner
One who swoons
A swooner is someone who swoons—who faints or becomes overwhelmed with emotion.
The word usually appears in romantic contexts, describing someone prone to being swept away by attraction or sentiment: She was a hopeless swooner for period dramas.
The term often carries a slightly playful or self-aware tone.
