I'm with Daisy. I think you should tell this man that he needs to stop talking about himself because he may not realize he's doing it and it might be nerves. If a man hasn't dated for years, he doesn't know how to do it anymore.

I had a man tell me that I sent him back into therapy by being honest and telling him that he was a control freak. He was too! His therapist agreed with me. Sometimes, we're doing these guys a favor and it could prevent them from being alone for the rest of their lives.
