I'm sorry, this just sounds nuts to me. You haven't even been on a proper date with him and you're already talking about organizing an intervention?
If he told you you HAD to bleach your hair and lose 60 pounds by summer or else he would *poof* be gone? How would that make you feel?
Either take the man as he is or leave him be.
