Puppies - whether human or real - don't get "subtle" or "diplomatic." They prefer direct bonks on the nose, even if verbal. They'll follow you everywhere if you let them. The ones who have no life or personality of their own are the worst - and it sounds like this guy is one of those.
Good luck on steering him clear. Sounds like the nice neighbor was able to assess the situation as "eager clueless fellow does not equal good match for quiet smart reclusive chick." Maybe tap into the neighbor's brain for help on having the puppy back down?
