Ah, the E-crush. It can get so many people in trouble.
RP community or not, in an MMO environment it is really, really easy to find someone you have a connection with. If that happens, it's how people deal with those emotions that keeps friendships alive.
In RP, the E-crush is a fairly common thing that happens, especially if you do Romance RP, but the lines between OOC and IC need to be clear at all times. For me, this requires constant OOC communication to make sure we both know where we stand OOCly and ICly. If I'm doing a romance thing with another player, communication is so, so important.
If you feel like he's being too clingy, you HAVE to tell him. You have to keep that line of communication open or things will just get worse. Nothing ever goes away on it's own. Sit him down and figure out his motives. Why does he want to rp with you so much? Why does he get so mad when you just want to play the game? Is it that he's too emotionally attached to you/your character or is it just that you two have different ideas about how an IC romance is supposed to go?
Make your line known. Make everything known.
If that doesn't work, then you need to get harsh. Cut off communication if he does not listen to reason.
It's tough, and it will be awkward, but good luck. I know I have plenty of experience with this ;o
