In Act 1 Scene 3 of Hamlet, both Laertes and Polonius advice Ophelia to stop seeing Hamlet in a romantic way. Laertes, as Ophelia's brother, gives the explanation that Hamlet, as heir to the throne of Denmark, must ultimately do what benefits the country. That means that though he may love Ophelia now, he will never be able to marry her because she is not of royal blood so it would not reflect well on the country, and because Denmark must come first, their relationship is doomed to end. Laertes says that Hamlet's affections for Ophelia are essentially flirtation and are going nowhere.
Polonius, Ophelia's father, gives the same advice for a different reason. He basically says that Hamlet is a young guy and offers her affection because he wants her, not because he loves her. He advises that Ophelia value herself more highly than Hamlet will, and says she should stop seeing him because what she thinks is love is simply lust.
Stay away from Hamlet. Do not be childish. This is not love between you and Hamlet, it is called lust.
