Not really. But sympathy. I had an awkward thing last night that feels similar that I should write up.

I think if I were in your position, I would probably spend a couple more years/cons just walking away and getting angry. This would not be ideal. A somewhat better variant would be to enlist a few friends as helpers so that if they were also in the group, they would walk away with you. I would do that for you if I were going.

If it was on purpose, are you thinking that the person was intentionally wanting to spend time with you for fun, or wanting to annoy you? My guess would be the former. And I think that there could possibly be a better outcome from either telling them you didn't want to talk to them or having someone else deliver that message. However, it also might turn out like that thing where someone thinks that zie can fix things by responding to you directly, like that guy at a Boston con who kept pursuing a woman to "apologize".
