Hmmm tricky.
I have had some experiences that started out exactly like this of late. When I mentioned IC I was very much in a relationship they did some IC moan about soul mates and then basically went off and no longer RPed. Ah well.. next?
I tend to throw RP out there and see what it brings back, and accept people have different ideas. So long as it does not grate against my own RP I'm happy. Sometimes (often) there is an initial flirting as I think some want that "fix" and it is easier to press the "flirt" buttons than others. Sometimes you get someone who is a bit more obsessive about it.
My approach at that point is to IC make it very clear where the lines are, and then OOC make it clear if they continue. After that, it is harassment, so blacklist.
I will also say that I found some very nice RP friends through this same approach and am very lucky with my current RP romance partner. I never plan where my RP goes, but am open to them growing.
Keep RPing, just develop good filters and saying No!
Also.. their obsession is not your fault!
