idk, Scorp. I tell you this from personal experience.

It's sad, but some who have your attention will develop a fixation and expectations of reciprocation that you aren't ready or willing o give.

If you put an end to the reciprocation, it stops then and there. It seems mean, but it's the only way....imo.

Ive done this before. He had followed me to meetings..it was so weird and ackward...then I was really rejecting, and it stopped. He was offended/upset, but things were better from there..
