Once he gets to know someone, he tends to become more comfortable and become very chatty.
He would like you to be able to help him build upon his own personal confidence to help him to meet new people and establish relationships at his own pace and without any pressure.
His main personal goal in life, is to find a romantic relationship. And so, it is important to him, that he receives help in trying to build confidence and in meeting new people in order to achieve this goal.
Because of his major depressive disorder, sometimes he can have very bad down days, therefore you must have a patient and calm approach.
