You cannot ignore it or say something flippant to them. That's not fair for either of you.
They obviously don't think you're serious when you tell them "It's over" and it's likely they think you're just being moody due to your reaction to them telling you they love you. They are getting mixed signals from you and it's no wonder they are confused about your intentions.
When dealing with this person, short explanations are not going to work, they haven't been working for you so far. Instead, explain to this person you were in a relationship with the things you were able to explain here, to strangers. Give them the sincere details. It's the only way they'll understand. After explaining yourself, ask them if they have any questions and then address those misinterpretations they may still have. Make it crystal clear that, despite enjoying their company, there with never (stress the "never") be room for a relationship with them in your life.
Ignoring this person will not work and is just an immature, not to mention cruel, way to deal with your problem.
IIN stuck in a relationship that not sure I want to break up?
