As an heiress, and a girl in her social echelon, Weiss' only prospect of romance comes in the form of an arranged marriage. Now if you're familiar with Game of Thrones, or European history in general, marriages were much more economic and political than they were religious or romantic. Also, they were very often catered to the groom's best interests-- often, at the bride's expense (arrogant, spoiled, unfaithful, or significantly older husbands, etc.).

Assuming Weiss has already been presented with an unfavorable marriage offer or two, she's formed a pretty bleak picture of men in her social class. Then she meets Adam, who is, in my opinion, the most masculine character of the series (thus far). And perhaps since she's sick of everything being decided for her (as it says on her page), she subconsciously falls for Adam because a relationship with him would contradict everything she was ever taught about her social status.

Basically, it's the "rich girl meets badass loner" scenario--the EowynXAragorn ship in Lord of the Rings.

Adam's reaction to this would be pretty much anyone's guess, but I highly doubt he would be receptive.
