So this girl at work has been borderline sexy harrassing me. We've been working together for over 2 years now but within the past few months she's gone from being flirty to almost a little creepy. At first it was kind of harmless, coming up behind me and touching my neck while i was working at my computer, or giving me a hug. but lately she's become the female version of the "that's what she said" dude in my office who has absolutely no tact. insisting that i check out the new underwear that she bought on lunch break, asking me about my masturbation habits and while her and her friend were critiquing my outfit one day, stating that she was only interested in what i had "below the belt".
not that i necessarily mind being a sex object, but this girl has proven to be kind of crazy in the past so lets hope its just a passing phase.

1) tell her clearly that sex is not an appropriate topic for work, and never ever joke about intimate matters or brush it off at all. draw the line and don't allow her to cross it. immediately tell her the topic is making you uncomfortable if she starts that crap. it's not that you don't like her as a person, you simply demand a professional workplace.
2) NO touching allowed. ever. her or you. no 'hi how are you!" hugs, no pats on the back, none of it.
3) go to whatever supervisor you have, and tell them of the situation.
if she's mentally unstable, (you mention 'kind of crazy' behavior in the past) i would not assume she will handle this in an appropriate manner, so keep it friendly and completely boring-professional, so you can all continue to work together. if she does not stop, that's her problem if you are clear about this being unwanted attention. it seems you have been friendly in the past, but she threw a game changing curve ball, so it's professional or nothing.
good luck, and keep us posted!
