Say something like, “I appreciate your interest, but I’m not interested in dating anyone at the moment.” Or if he touches you inappropriately, gently push his hand away and give him a look that conveys disapproval. Avoiding excessive physical contact and looking displeased or uncomfortable when he makes sexual advances might also help get the message across that he should stop.

You could give him non-verbal cues such as avoiding eye contact, turning away from him, or changing the subject when he makes sexual advances. You can also ask your male colleague to stop making sexual advances towards you by being direct and confrontational. You could say something like "I’m not interested in dating. Please stop."
