Don't know and don't care. He falls into the category of clueless about boundaries and appropriate behavior. He held me up for several minutes at the toll booth with his flirting/babbling nonsense.

Do you feel you are transversing a minefield? What is safe bantering and what is a risk
There are all sorts of people out there.
The only litmus test is how do I feel about the conversation. If the conversation and the tone is something I find acceptable/comfortable/inviting - I will engage in the conversation.
If I don't like the conversation or tone - I will end the exchange. My boundaries are not subject to a democratic vote or an analysis of society's view of what is appropriate, fun or safe/unsfe banter.
My boundary - purely my call.
I owe no explanations or justifications for not wanting to be engaged in a conversation with someone.
