So here’s the thing. Bruce didn’t know that Dick was infatuated with him at first - but Alfred did. And he was less than amused.

There was a brief point in time where Bruce obviously spoiled Dick, letting him sleep in his bed and allowing him to affectionate towards him. Before this point Bruce only thought of Dick as a child, and thought nothing of it. 

Alfred had to pull him aside and explain that even if he meant no harm to the young man, Master Richard is too old for their interactions to appear innocent to an outsider. Naturally, Bruce was mortified at the suggestion. He’s devoted too many years to ensuring Dick’s safety to take advantage of him like that. 

... But now that it was brought to his attention, Bruce couldn’t help but see it. The way Dick’s eyes would linger on him, the way he preened under Bruce’s praise. The nail in the coffin was the expression on Dick’s face when he caught him kissing Selina in his study. Like the young man’s heart would shatter at any second.

There were no two ways about it. Bruce had to put up boundaries fast. He needed to discourage Dick’s affections, before they crossed anymore lines and risked hurting the young man. Bruce started staying out at night and forced Dick to sleep alone. Bruce also started to become cold and distant, trying to put as much as he could between them.

... Unfortunately, this sudden shift in attitude is what  started to drive them apart, leading up to Dick’s encounter with Zucco and culminating to the young man’s firing.
