Some decent advice spread throughout here with a lot of bad that creates more hostility than it actually solves anything.
Communication. That is the most important thing when it comes to roleplay. I can't say it enough. If something is bothering you, just pull said person to the side, bring it up, and talk it through like a mature adult. I'd be willing to bet that most people are not trying to make you feel uncomfortable OOCly, and are likely to reel things back on their end if you just take the time to say something.
Now if they're legitimately being a creep after that, then yes, do whatever it takes within reason, but other than that? It's all that needs to be done, and for the record, no, I don't always do this given how extreme my social anxiety can get at times.
Still, it's worth making an attempt at for the sake of everyone involved. Take it from someone that's been on the other end; it's terribly upsetting to be skewered with a great deal of defamation based on nothing more than mere IC musings when a simple chat would have been all it took to straighten the situation out. Game ruining, even.
