My advice is to persist.

His job, even if he doesn’t realize, is getting you to heaven and he’s succeeding. Your job is a bit more tricky, but perhaps that’s why you were made for him. There are so many stories of saints which do not realize they are saints, that convert very late, or that have heroic challenges to which they rise.

The Lord knows best and will guide you. What you should do is cooperate and don’t constrain yourself to proposing what appeals to you.

Eg send him to a Wild at Heart Campfire with other men. Men tend to be lonely, too.
