I think there’s a middle ground here. Writing someone totally off cuz they gave a weird first impression is probably not a great practice, if only cuz you maybe denying yourself a good connection. But on the flip side, if they’re a decent person who’s just awkward and weird it should become apparent quick. If you still get weirdo vibes an hour or two in their probably just weird.
I advocated for the middle ground though but for some reason "giving someone a chance" always gets interpreted as "have sex with them" (probably because a lot of incels mean it that way).
Counterpoint: Giving anyone a chance (that is trying to get to know them) is about basic respect and is cool and good.

Giving people a chance is about getting to know them not letting them fuck you
