He's not just flattering for the sake of it. Everything he says is genuine - he just hopes she realizes it. She must, if she's teasing him. There's no pause in her undressing, and so he keeps watching, trying not to fidget as he sits. It's only when she goes to undo her boots that he realizes he's supposed to do the same and peel himself out of his clothes.
The pressure is on all of a sudden, as he finds himself expected to undress too. Swallowing he takes off his other glove, tossing it aside before letting his fingers fiddle with the buttons of his jacket. Sure, he figured he'd be getting naked too at some point, but he's shy all of a sudden, self conscious about his body. He's not sure what part of him would be even appealing to see like this in her eyes but he does his best to try and quell that fear. If she didn't want him without clothes, she wouldn't have told him to undress in the first place.
