Why would he joke that he wants a nun when I said I wanted to be one?

I was talking to a coworker at work and I mentioned how I might just become a nun (he knows my dating life is crap) and he said “I was going to say, I quite fancy a nun” followed with “I’m joking” and laughed.

He always tries to touch me too, like he was demonstrating how he got his fingers clicked by someone on my hand and had done similar before.

Why would he say that? He does make dirty jokes with others, but this feels very directed.
