window shopper

Just looking, thanks

A window shopper browses merchandise without intending to buy, often literally looking at store window displays: I'm just a window shopper today—can't afford anything.

The term can extend beyond retail to anyone who looks without committing: browsing real estate listings with no plan to move, or perusing dating profiles without messaging anyone.
