toyer
One who fiddles
A toyer is someone who toys with something or someone—playing idly, experimenting without commitment, or treating lightly what deserves seriousness.
The word often carries a hint of disapproval: He was just a toyer, never serious about any of the women he dated.
A toyer dabbles rather than commits.
