Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

Is it sexual harrassment if a manager at my work hit on me at a non-work related social gathering? He touched my knee and told me that he was interested in dating me.

There are several elements to a formal claim for sexual harassment. Among other, the advances have to be unwelcome (you must make it clear that the behavior of a manager is not welcome by you) and the behavior must be sufficiently severe and pervasive. Hitting on you off the clock, while might be very stressful and inappropriate might not rise to the level of harassment, especially if it happened only one time.

Thanks,
