That's somehow more probable than the idea that he is okay with Halsin because he has experience with poly relationships (which he explicitly GIVES as his reason) and which is in contrast to Shadowheart and others, who he says would inevitably end badly because they've never done this before?
Look, I'm not an expert on Astarion, and I don't intend to be. Surely, someone more knowledgeable about him will come along and answer you, but as far as I know, Halsin's proposal occurs before Astarion overcomes his trauma, before the cazador mission (at least in the version of the game I have). It's at that moment when Astarion refuses to join with the twins because he still doesn't feel ready. If we're lucky, Larian might tweak the game code a bit so that the proposal doesn't seem so out of place when Halsin makes it. As neTav mentioned, they could also change his reaction, given that they did so with Mizora, and if we're even luckier, maybe they'll do something similar with Shadowheart.
