    Today if someone says “He’s a real Casanova,” they often smile, but it is not always kind: it can mean he is charming and good at winning women, or that he does not stay and treats love like a game. It sounds a little old. Younger people may say player instead.

    We almost always use it of a man, not a woman. Many writers keep a capital C, because it started as a name, though a small c turns up too. It is not a job, and it is more than “he likes to flirt” — the real point is many sexual relationships, though people sometimes stretch it just to mean a big flirt.
