Should I take my male coworkers actions as being kinda flirty?

Maybe im reading too much into this. I mentioned to my male coworker that he looked more dressed up than usual today. Our office is very casual. He had a polo with nice pants on.

He starts by saying how the pants are new and raving about how soft they are. Then he asked me to feel them. He didn't make it creepy but I've never had a man ask me to do that. Could I take this as him being a little flirty? Or can men just genuinely be excited about the material.

After I touched them he went one to say how much of a discount he got on them. Trying to keep the convo casual.

I think you’re looking too far into it. To women, like the first one who answered saying you don’t tell someone of the opposite gender to touch your pants, that’s normal. But that’s a women. Men aren’t the same. I’ve done this before in the past. So yes I do think you’re turning it into something it’s not. Not only that if you two have a good working relationship he was probably comfortable w telling you to feel them. Doesn’t sound like he made a remark after suggesting he was flirting w you.

I don't think you tell someone of the opposite gender to touch your pants if it means nothing. It's not how I'd flirt either lol, but it seems like more than nothing, but impossible to say for sure.
