I don’t know about that - even if it was completely normalized and most people didn’t have a problem with it , I don’t think I’d be terribly interested in going on a date with someone who 1) based asking me just on how I look and 2) simultaneously finds small talk difficult and awkward but is just fine proposing a date out of nowhere. So that person would be getting a hard “no” from me, normalized or not.
