a man who "took" to people
As Louis looked at him, the old man pinched the cigarette out between his thumb and forefinger and pocketed it neatly. He held out his hands and smiled crookedly.. a smile Louis liked at once-- and he was not a man who "took" to people.

Does "a man who took to people" here mean someone who is easy to get familar with others? Thanks for your help.
