Unable to abandon Keri romance? [spoilers]

It obviously isn't a bug, but I believe being unable to tell Keri (the journalist): "Sorry, I no longer want to engage with you in a romantic way." kind of makes this romance option a bit annoying. Around 30% game completion you are able to tell Keri you want to get to know her after she finished interviewing you, which ultimately decides that "We'll bang, OK?" (the act itself isn't visible, but highly suggested it happened). At around 60-100% completion (depending on how you play and who you want to romance) you get to pick a "serious" romance option from your crew and Keri will finish her interviews only after this happened. Now at this point I was no longer interested in her (because I wish to be loyal to my chosen one), but I'm unable to finish her storyline without having to romance her, so the task just lingers there with me having to speak with her a final time and/or talk to her in Vortex (both of which ends up in an awkward forced romantic speech). I believe this hasn't been thought out properly, but I can only wonder why, since the other non-crew relationships all have a "stop" button even after telling them you are interested in them (e.g. the angaran lady).

I find these illogical consequences quite annoying in RPGs, where solving a situation like ths could be handled by one more speech option, and even more when it's "messing up" (depending on a person's OCD) your playthrough with a decision made in the first third of the game (like they handled Leliana in DA:I).
Did you encounter this as well? Do you think the decision is saved and maybe impact the sequels? Do you think it (and choices like this) should be patched?

at the end she will ask you to go to the bar. just don't go. done. plus it doesn't affect your main romance anyways. so no problem. no different than peebee in the escape pod.
