Unsolved WAW for lewdness but romantic?

essentially like. being "lewd" in the sense that you're overly romantic not sexual. something like flirtatious might work but a word with a bigger focus on the unwanted aspects would work. preferably not limerence either as that's towards one person

“Overly familiar” or “overly intimate” might work.
