Now, I bet most of you guys would LOVE to be in this situation, but then again, I'm not 'most guys'. No, I'm not gay.
Anyway, theres one woman at the store where I do some part-time work at always flirting with me, and I already have a girlfriend, not all that amazing, but still my girlfriend. And no matter how often I tell her to leave me alone, she keeps trying to flirt with me, and it's a pain.
I'm getting close to yelling a string of obscenities at her, and telling my boss just resulted in "You've got a good catch Lars."
Yes, she is quite stunning, but I'm not going to cheat on my current lover. Any ideas before I unleash a torrent of profanity?

I understand your problem. At my workplace I had this girl that kept flirting with me for weeks. She even left a note calling me her lover and etc. I told my supervisor she better cut it out or I would report her.

I think male sexual harrassment is often not reported for just these reasons. Most guys I know would jump at the chance to be sexually harrassed at work, or anywhere for that matter. It goes to show you these differences in the way men and women think.

If I was in your shoes....
I would tell her, in the presence of my boss and possibly others to leave me alone. I would tell her that I have a GF already and have no interest in her. I would tell her that no matter what she intends, no matter what she means, her actions are coming across as (insert your interpretation) and you want it to stop now.
I would also make sure it's recorded and be ready to go over your bosses head and file a written complaint. And photocopy the complaint for your records.
Be ready to go to the state civil rights division and/or the EEOC. Also keep in mind that in some cases it can be better to just find another job somewhere else and tell them to stick it.

Sometime even telling the person to leave you alone might not be enough. If that's the case, what other options do you have?
