6. I really like him (her). How do I avoid engaging in excessively amorous behavior against him (her)?

1. Observe basic reactions. If the other party indicated verbally or electronically that he (she) is not interested in you, and exhibits expressions and attitudes of dissatisfaction and discomfort, then you should stop any amorous behaviors against that person.

Frequently, excessive amorous behavior will make its recipient feel fearful. Therefore, please be aware of whether your conduct has already produced negative impacts against its recipient.

2. Respect other people’s choices. Being rejected does not mean that you are an inferior person. Being able to walk away gracefully can demonstrate that you are an understanding and considerate person. Spend time and effort on yourself. Learning to let go will bring you freedom. Otherwise, if you insist on obsessive amorous behavior, you may be subjected to sexual harassment lawsuits.

3. You can reflect on whether you are confined by gender stereotypes and whether you can respect others. Such thought processes will help you establish healthy and egalitarian gender concepts.

4. If you realize that your amorous behavior has really made its recipient uncomfortable, you should stop such behavior. You can also, sincerely apologize to your victim, who will be better able to move on and not harbor ill will against you.
