I agree. If you tell the aunt, most likely, she will pick up the phone, call your girlfriend and say "Hon, your man is hitting on me". And then your relationship is ruined just like that. Sometimes when we work with an attractive person, it can be hard not to notice. But you have to just try your best not to. Stay as busy as possible, don't have lunch with her or hang out if you can help it, try to socialize when there are others around so you won't be tempted to say something to her. Keep a picture of your girlfriend on your desk.
Sometimes something sounds great in a fantasy, but it real life it wouldn't play out that way. If you told your girlfriend's aunt how you feel, most likely it would be the end of your relationship with your girlfriend, not to mention the aunt probably wouldn't want anything to do with you. She might even try to make it hard on you at work. I think saying anything to her is a really bad idea. Plus, I mean, she's the AUNT.
