It's rapey if you keep trying to have sex with someone who said they don't want to. Nothing complicated. It's annoying, creepy, and it's rapey because you're hoping to get coerced consent.

Also, remember the rules of paying attention to the opposite sex:

1. Be attractive

2. Don't be unattractive

We have noticed that undue attention from attractive people is, typically, not considered "creepy". It is instead considered "flattering".
This is true, because we are biological organisms. It only requires a little bit of situational awareness for most people to operate within these parameters, but some people who are socially-challenged completely miss this stuff. And those people, I think, can get a bad rap for no intentional misbehavior on their own part. And I wish there was more attention paid to this, and sensitivity in general towards people on the autism spectrum, and who for other reasons are socially challenged, but not "bad" people.
