Your project is already jeopardized by your coworker's
behavior. All the distraction you are experiencing is
probably a fraction of the attention he is diverting from
his end of the work toward thinking of new ways to try
to come on to you. If you haven't already done so, you
need to tell him that you don't want to discuss his
desire to have you and your sons join him in his hobby
any more. The next step if he continues is to talk to
your manager and see if he/she wants to try to step in
before you take it to your company HR.
