I just started working at an art camp with kids this summer. I worked it last year and I loved it, and this year there are new coworkers. One of the new coworkers has been hitting on me and even asked me out. He also continuously flirts with me in front of the kids and it makes me uncomfortable. I’m fine with going out with him cause he seems like a nice guy, but his constant compliments are getting annoying and I don’t know how to say, can you please not. One of the reasons why I also don’t want to be a bitch is because his aunt is my boss. I just don’t know how to tell him that there’s a time and a place without ruining this amazing job opportunity.

Maybe talk to the aunt/boss?

That’s a good idea

I actually didn’t think of that. I’m definitely doing that.

Try talking to him first - how would you feel if someone went straight to your aunt with something like this?
You could say something like: I like you but I feel uncomfortable when flirted with in front of the kids.
Could we do that after hours?

I think igot3bodyproblems has the better idea. If that doesn't work you can still always talk to his aunt or take elincredibleme's solution.
I for one wouldn't be happy if someone had a problem with me but would rather tell it to some family member instead of me.

Okay yeah you’ve got a point. I just feel like he’ll get offended and I don’t wanna do that.

I agree with bodyproblems. If he doesn't listen to that, I'd talk to the Aunt.

Thirding or fourthing the whole talk to him first thing. If he gets offended, then at least you know he's an ass before you actually go out with him

How did it go?

Oh gosh a lot has happened. The day after I posted this he started getting really touchy at work. Whenever the two of us were in the same room alone he would grab me and consistently touch me. He then told a few of the kids that we were boyfriend and girlfriend and that was the last straw for me. I just felt so uncomfortable and a little violated. He texted me apologizing for being so forward and I just told him that I wasn’t interested anymore. We didn’t talk for a few days and I thought he got the hint but yet again he asked me out. I declined again. Then the next day I saw him at the beginning of work and didn’t see him for the rest of the day. At the end of my shift my boss held a meeting with me and my coworkers and told us that they had to let him go. Apparently, he was taking videos of some of the kids and saying mean things about them. He then posted it on social media. One of his friends saw these videos reported him, after that he was fired.
