Aro culture is your (allo) friend saying someone was flirting with them at the store, asking what the flirter (Is that a word??) said, and the friend responding "They said the ice cream I was buying looked good, and I said thanks" and that was the whole of the conversation.

Is that all it takes to flirt, is to say something innocuous to a stranger? Is that why everyone says I flirt with everyone?? Can people not have normal goddamned conversations anymore without everything being tainted by amatonormativity?!?!
