If you don't want to confront the person directly at first, try giving them a blank stare in response to verbal flirting. Hold eye contact but without smiling. Then simply walk away without saying anything. This may seem cruel, as if the person is not a complete clod he or she will be crushed, but at least they should get the message if they have ANY social skills. If it doesn't work, then a verbal request to keep things business related should be the next step. -
