inappropriate person at work
I started a new job about 2 months ago.
I love the job and Im really doing well there.
however, since I started there has been a superviser who has been very complimentary towards me. at first it was just suttle and it was nice but today she kept touching me (on my leg and my side) and saying things like "your so perfect and skinny, should I stop eating to be like you".
during the day I rubbed my eye and asked her if I had make up on my face and she said "to me youre always perfect even with make up on your face"
its just getting a bit weired and she is my supervisor.
Im just not sure what to do because I don't want it to go any further.

SQUOTE=Epic;3948858]Eek, that must feel super awkward, and I caH understand why you are seeking to stop the behaviour lest it escalate.
She might be one of those people who are naturally touchy-feely and over the top with compliments, and not aware that it is unwelcome, let alone sexual harassment. Either way, I have no idea what to suggest.
How is she toward your colleagues? Are their other supervisors? Is there anyone more senior than her? Does the company you work for have a policy on inappropriate interactions/sexual harassment?
Um, I forgot what else I was going to say.

She doesn't compliment my colleagues like she does me. There are other supervisors yes and people above her.
I work in the NHS so I'm sure there is something in terms of policy.
Don't know if I'm just being over sensitive or if it really is inappropriate.

It would make me uncomfortable but perhaps she doesn't mean it inappropriately. It it were me I'd have a discrete word with her. If it carried on, I'd speak to someone.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

do you like my potato?

Next time she says something like that can you say "I know you are trying to be nice but I am not comfortable with you saying things like that to me"?

Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

I agree with the above, it's definitely inappropriate, no matter how she intends it to come across. Can you speak with your manager? Or if you feel comfortable, ask the woman politely to stop.
Sorry, it does sound like a very awkward situation for you, but you deserve to be able to work without essentially being come on to by a colleague!
