I agree, but my newbie still has a long way to go before reaching such wisdom.

Achelsius listened carefully to Carmen's story, then sighed and shook his head.
—Love... it can bring so many happy moments to our hearts, but it also brings doubts, sadness, and sorrow. We, as devoted servants of the Guide, undoubtedly strive to emphasize only the brightest and kindest aspects of emotions, and therefore I perfectly understand why your kindness made your interaction with this acquaintance overly... ambiguous.
The priest paused briefly, giving the servant a chance to grasp the essence of what was said.
—But you must understand that it is not enough to be a source of light yourself, it is not enough to maintain the purity of your own soul. It is also necessary to try to understand the feelings of others, people who are less enlightened by our faith. They may perceive the acceptance of gifts as your consent, and the opportunity to talk in private as a good chance... to push you towards actions that are beneficial to them. They have invented complex love games for themselves, and they expect us to follow their generally accepted rules as well. It is easier to cloud the minds of ordinary people, and lust and desire sometimes completely replace all their true, good feelings. They find it harder to understand hints, they don't like ambiguity and empty waiting. I think you now understand why your conflict arose. And therefore, I would like to give you the following advice:
-First, never allow anyone, except for those close to the Guide, brothers and sisters - servants, to interpret our faith to you. Remember that the Guide never requires or desires anything in return, be it reciprocal love, friendship, or even money. When we help others, we do not expect anything in return. So, your acquaintance cannot demand reciprocal feelings, and especially not talk about what, in his opinion, might disappoint or please the Guide.
-Only you yourself, and no one else, can help you fully understand your feelings. Only when alone with yourself can we make a final decision. Of course, it is not always easy to listen to your heart. But even mistakes sometimes bring valuable experience.
-Do not be angry with your brother, for he came to your aid in a difficult hour without any sin of doubt. Your acquaintance had no right to take possession of your body without your consent. We cannot always protect ourselves with words alone. And efforts aimed at protecting those close to us are never associated with dark emotions. I hope this fight will not have too serious consequences for him.
-And most importantly, do not be afraid to be firm in your decisions. There is no place for doubt for the servants of the Guide. If you wish to respond to the love feelings of someone, be ready to go all the way, and do not stop halfway. If you are not ready for intimacy, then show firmness, and do not leave your admirer with false illusions and empty hopes, infecting his soul with vice like a curse. If he truly loves you, he will be ready to wait for a final answer; if his gifts and words were motivated only by lust for your body, then I can tell you with confidence that this has nothing to do with pure and sincere feelings. These will be my advices, Carmen, and I hope that by following them, you will be able not only to understand your personal anxieties, but also to help your own close friends and acquaintances.
