Sometimes when you're really "in love" with someone, no isn't going to stop you trying again. Sometimes you just know that person is the one for you. My SO's sister knew her husband for years at school and he was younger than her, and always pestering her to go out with him. She thought he was an annoying brat. They became friends of sorts, then close friends, and then one day she suddenly thought....oh I think I...like him actually. And now they're married. They're in their 20's. So. Romance and courtship aren't dead.
Sometimes no is no, but other times it's just no, it's not the right time. Eh harrassment...come on. Unless the person intrudes in your life significantly...

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
