Overview
You may not even be looking for a new romance, but that won't matter to someone who's trying to turn your head. So you'll have to stay consistent in how you react to this person's flattery today. If you want more, you should encourage it. But if you don't, do not send mixed signals. The situation could escalate in a way that'll end up making you both unhappy. Nip things in the bud. Be gentle and kind, but say what you really mean and be clear about what you really want.
