I pretty much agree with the sum of what's been said above. Keeping IC and OOC separate is of course 'rule one' of roleplaying.Â
BUT.. when a RP makes you uncomfortable and you're not OK with where it's going, it's time to handle it OOC. Let them know it's not happening. And unless they tone it the F down, the character is going to be finding the nearest exit asap and will be lining one's no-no parts with razor blades should the offender decide to follow.Â
And that is why I approach people OOC when my character takes a shine to someone. Because boundaries are crucial in successful RP that may or may not include relationships.
