What the(Shall difference between date and appointment?
Hi,
Greedy in eating is 'gluttonous'. The noun is gluttony.
Fond of fooling around or playing is a difficult one. It can mean many different things. It really depends on what context or situation you mean. Fooling around has sexual conotations. We have a word 'cavalier', which means not taking things too seriously. If fond of playing for a child you could use 'playful'.
One who cares about his/her appearance is said to be 'vain'. The noun is vanity.
A date is when you meet someone for a romantic evening. An appointment is more to do with business or non-personal matters. It could also be for a visit to the dentist or hairdressers.
