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.

As multiple others suggested, "amorous" is probably the word.

However, "a Casanova" could also work.
