I mean, what if the job is a really good one so you can't leave?

Don't acknowledge the flirts if you are not interested always conduct yourself in a professional manner.

Look your boss in the eye and tell him very maturely, "Excuse me (name), but I find that sort of behavior in the workplace to be demeaning and inappropriate. There are laws against sexual harrassment and while I value this job, if this behavior continues, I will have no alternative than to seek legal support to end it".
Another way would be to say, "I make it a practice not to date bosses or co-workers. It rarely works out, and when the break up occurs then you're still stuck working with (or for) that person, so I don't do it."
If your boss has a boss in the same company, threaten to take this matter to him if the flirting doesn't stop. Most companies these days are very sensitive to Sexual Harrassment lawsuits. The ones which aren't get tired of being sued constantly so they have policies in place to deal with it.

It is called sexual harrassment, check you employee handbook and see what it says about it for your information. Let him know that you are uncomfortable with the conversation you do believe it is called Sexual Harrassmant. That should stop him. Document the date of this dicussion. If you feel as though you are being treated unfairly after this discussion inform HR or you can inform them first and they will address the issue with him that is their job and it has to happen because you do have a legal right to sue him and the company if it doesn't stop.

It's called sexual harassment and I would contact a lawyer. If you ignore it, your boss will think he can get away with it. He may even go further than flirting. Find out from an attorney what your rights are before it gets worse.

Short of slapping his silly face...that's a difficult one. I've been put in that place many times.
In the past I wasn't at ease with openly telling someone they were making me feel uncomfortable, but I have come to a place that I don't think that would be as great of a challenge as before. Instead, I tried repond to advances in a way that wasn't rude, but clearly let them know I wasn't interested. I basically responded in a polite but uninterested way.
Choose what you are comfortable with and what you think the situation requires. If it gets out of hand you will have to be direct. If he fires you or makes your life miserable at work because you rejected him, you do have legal recourse.

Always remain professional and let him/her know that you are not interested. If this continues, I would immediately contact the Human Resources person for guidance and the next step. This could move toward sexual harassment if you are not careful.

don't give him any reason to feel that you reciprocate the feeling if you don't like him. and if you do like him well it's really up to you. keep yourself from being isolated and in situations that you can't control be cool and polite, but professional. should it become something nasty like harrassment well, it's time to find a diffrent company.

Tell him you don't like it and if he continues file a sexual harrassment complaint. He can't fire you you have rights, didn't your company ever go thru sexual harrasment training? He should know better
