Well...... this is not exactly a "how do you know when it's over", but
rather a "how do you keep it from starting":

Back in my Freshman days (79-80), I was interested in a young lady I met at
school. She was dating someone else at the time, but knew I was interested
(I used to lack a bit of subtlety in those days). Well, when it started to
look like she and her boyfriend were breaking up, I naturally started
getting more interested.

In an effort to "dissuade" me (I did not lack persistence in those days),
she decided to pull the ultimate: she told me it was essential that she try
to get back together with her boyfriend as she was pregnant. (When, of
course, she was not.) A few weeks later, she (very embarassed) told me the
truth.

(And to think, someone once asked the women in this group whether they had
ever said they had a boyfriend when they didn't.)
