Hi, just quickly…
I found myself in a similar situation and wanted to be “nice”. They do NOT take the hint, and trust me, they have gotten it, they’re just not taking it. And that is disrespectful to you. They will constantly test your boundaries. Remember that radio silence IS a response. Sure, it will be awkward the third (fourth, fifth) time he tries to communicate with you, and he hears nothing. BUT he will seem ridiculous even to himself and will eventually stop and move on to another victim/blast from his past.
Drop the rope (radio silence) and he will move on.
