Why would a guy touch and caress your hair and twirl it around his fingers?

Anonymous
I went to a bar with some friends and this guy that’s a former coworker started playfully twirling my curly hair around his fingers and was complimenting it and saying that it was pretty and that I should wear my curly hair more often

He also said that I would get a lot of attention from guys because of my hair and how I look
Was this innocent flirting or something more behind it?
