Blah, this guy doesn’t sound appealing at all. Dump Papa Smurf. He does nothing for you.

I’ve seen so many couples, usually older, sit in silence together in restaurants. It’s so disturbing. If you are already sitting in silence, why would you want to be with him? What IS going on inside his mind when he is silent? Is he plotting a world take-over?

Maybe ask him to at least shave that awful beard and see if you can get him talking before bailing.

And the religion thing will be a big issue down the road. He will try to strong arm you into going. But that’s all the religious talk PC will allow.
