Somewhat off-topic here, but I want to say in response to T'shina's post that's so incredibly refreshing to find someone in a relationship where both partners role-play and don't have all their characters romantically involved with each other's. I don't mean to imply there's anything wrong with that, only that all the baffled and incredulous responses I get from people when I explain that my boyfriend and my RP partner aren't the same person are incredibly annoying after a while, especially when it's followed-up by the questions of, "But don't you guys get jealous? Isn't it weird?"
No, we don't. No, it's not. It's RP. We get plenty of each other in real life. x_x
And in addition to what Verad said! I do agree that IC romance may always be OOCly pushed to some degree, but that's to be expected and harmless if for the right reasons. "I think this person role-plays well and our styles click," is a good reason. "I'm lonely and want a relationship or the closest thing I can get," is not and will only lead to problems unless both parties feel that way (but even then, serious issues are still inevitable).
But back directly on topic, to the OP, I would suggest actively deterring them, telling them you're not interested, and asking them to leave you alone. If all else fails, blocking them works wonders. I'm someone who's usually hesitant to block others, but ultimately, we role-play and play XIV to have fun and relax. If someone is bringing about the opposite reaction, they aren't someone you need to keep around.
