However, he does seem like someone who would respect boundaries, he seems to appreciate my opinions.
Those cases are hard to judge based purely on the description. Most of communication is non-verbal. Without seeing a person's face, hearing their voice, seeing the gestures and such, it's hard to judge the intention by the content of what was said only.

The fact that he switched to a serious tone immediately after saying it suggests that he didn't mean to flirt. If he had meant to flirt, I think, he would've kept it up, at least, this has been my experience with those who flirt.

If this doesn't happen again, I'd dismiss it as a joke. I don't think it's worth it reading too much into what people mean by saying this or that. Even when something bothered you, if it's been just a single occurrence and never led anywhere, it's not a problem that is worth worrying about.
