That's sexual harrassment, and it's against the law. You do have rights, and I strongly suggest you contact someone in your human resources department RIGHT NOW to do something about this. I won't even detail all the reasons it's wrong, but it's something HE is doing TO you. It's not something you've caused.
Susan is right about predatory behavior, though. I don't think anyone is complimenting you because they can see you lack self esteem. I do think, though, that a lot of predators target victims they believe won't fight back. I'm told that fighting back helps with getting over past traumas, too.
And do something now. I had a similar situation, and lost my job over it. I didn't speak up for myself, and didn't know what to do, so he could have me fired when I didn't respond.
