He used to flirt with me in the past but I kind of shut it down when it was happening. He asked if he was being too friendly and I told him yes.
Months go by of just friendly, professional interaction but recently he’s been chatty with me again, standing close to me when talking, then brushes hair off my hat around other managers. Immediately says “just looking out for you.”

Girl, that hair brushing thing would definitely make me feel weird if I were you! Your manager is treading in some grey territory there. A few thoughts:
- Flirting with you before and then backing off when you shut it down shows he's attracted to you.
- Now he's finding excuses to touch you, like the hair on your hat. That's crossing a line as your boss.
- Doing it in front of other managers like it's no big deal is kinda disrespectful to your position.
- His excuse of "just looking out for you" is lame. You're at work, not in need of his "help" fixing your hair.
I wouldn't be comfy with the attention personally. If he continues these little "kindnesses," you may need to be more direct that his behavior makes you uncomfy again.
Document any other incidents too, just in case. Don't let him take advantage! You got this sis, stand up for yourself if he keeps stepping over professional boundaries. Stay strong!
If you’re feeling uncomfortable then I would make a Human Resources report. He probably gets away with it by other people and you have to be someone that he fucks with the wrong person and finds out.
You have told him already he’s being too friendly. That should have let him know then and there. Even if it’s innocent enough he knows he’s invading your space.
It’s not wrong for adults to have feelings for one another. It is wrong to invade another perosn.
If a woman he didn’t find attractive was bothering him I’m sure he would feel uncomfortable
Why do you think he’s doing it?
Asker he may like you or whatever. I can’t read his mind but if he knows he’s making you uncomfortable and keeps doing it. It’s a problem
He is really invading your personal space. Is that what you want?
