Does he also put his hands on his old male colleague's knees and tell them they're pretty and send them personal messages after work hours with kissy emojis?
He's a creep, OP. He's doing it with you because he can get away with it, and yeah, he does have the power of restraint (he probably knows if he were to try a man's knee he'd get swatted), he just chooses not to exercise it with you, the person with the least power I'm that place.
I can't tell you what to do because I don't know your circumstances but no, it's not innocent or nice, he's taking advantage.
iām sorry!! i definitely will do better next time
