I know this guy I work with likes me and wants to ask me out, but I'm not interested?

My agency contracts with this guy's agency, so we don't work together all of the time, but we do have several cases where we have to work together. He's nice, but I'm just not at all interested in him and I have a boyfriend! He flirts with me, a little, and I can tell he's gathering his courage to ask me out because of other things he says. he tries to spend extra time with me, he called me close to 11pm the other night to "ask me about a client" but then wanted to just talk. I was on the other line with my boyfriend, and told him that, and it still took him a while to get off the phone.

It's awkward because the guy hasn't said anything, but I've talked about my boyfriend around him, so he knows that I have one, but he still keeps on. I'm not sure what to do here, or do I need to just wait until he says something?

Update:

Olderwiser, I hope it doesn't come to that, but i guess I do have to keep that in mind in case it does. Thank you!

    well you aren't interested, and you have a bf. even though he knows that he still keeps after you. because it is in the workplace, he is creating a hostile work environment even though you both work for different agencies. tell him the next time you see him or he calls you that enough is enough, you don't like him in that way and you have a bf which means you will not have anything to do with him. also warn him that you will taking this to your supervisor/manager should he call again. yes it may make for a bit of a sticky work situation for awhile, but he needs to get both of those messages through his head.

    I suggest you continue to talk up your boyfriend in his presence and make sure he is well aware of your relationship and its strength. Perhaps you could also make more enquiries to him about his own personal life. (ie. ask why he never talks of a girlfriend, or why he isn't pursuing anyone). Things like that should make the groundrules clear as far as a relationship between the two of you and how uninterested you are in one.
