it's good to see you back salukigirl.

it sounds like he's wanting you to tell him what you really think. you don't have to be rude but can just say something like "i don't think she's the best match for you. you might need someone a bit more intellectual" or something to that effect.
i have to say i laughed when you described her views on the shelter and then said you thought she was trying to be intellectual. i thought for sure you were going to say she was trying to be entertaining or just provocative!
