Someone who dates people under the pretense of being single. Especially applies when they do it on organised dating circuits, such as speed dating.

Etymology: I think I just made it up, in context, maybe because it sounds a bit like philanderer and maybe scallywag, but neither of those words came into my mind.

...I understand if it doesn't take off.
Kyla: Got my hands full with these guys I'm dating. I am reducing it down to the one guy who is indeed single.
me: What? You mean the others were masquerading galafanders?
