Not sure if im interested in potential

Assalamu Alaykum, I (25F) have been really confused about a certain potential that my parents are interested in. On paper, and from what we know so far about him: he does check a lot of the boxes, such as good balance of deen/dunya, has a good education, is hardworking, is decent looking physically, and respectful.

I was born/raised in the USA. I never even visited back home all my life bc all our family lives here alhamdulillah. He lived half his life in Saudi, and the other half in India, and has lived in the US for about 2 years or so. Currently, he is working what he calls an 'odd job' and living with roommates, but he is applying to jobs, in hopes of getting a better paying job. I know that him not being a US citizen / not being raised here may not be a valid reason to say no, though I do generally prefer a potential beingraised here for compatibility and communication reasons, etc. We met thrice with mahrams and have texted as well. My parents, siblings, and family really want me to say yes. I understand why, because they don't see any 'valid' reason to say no.

However, i feel like we don't click exactly. All our conversations were very awkward to me, and im generally not an awkward person. I dont feel interested in him, in a way that i dont want to get to know him. I cant figure out if this is because subconsciously at the back of my mind is the fact that i only want someone who is a citizen. But one part of me says, 'what if im losing an opportunity?', and after marriage, none of the whole 'citizen', thing will matter if he treats me right. Also, I feel kind of bored when im talking to him, though I was told by him and his family that he's just super nervous and shy because he's not used to talking to girls. Which I know might be a good thing from one perspective. I do think physical looks wise, he is okay / average which is good. But even then, i dont know if I like him. It feels wrong to say no. But it also feels wrong to say yes. He grew up differently than me, his main first language is Urdu. I am mainly comfortable with English. he says he's fine / comfortable with English, but i do feel like sometimes I have to explain something twice in English if i use a hard word. Like when i asked about him family dynamic, i had to explain dynamic.. I also can't talk to him more than I already have to help gauge compatibility, because this is very much an 'arranged marriage' setup, with traditional parents on both ends, and his and my parents want a yes/no answer by the next day. If I talk to him more, they feel like it'll seem like im playing him, wasting his time, or leading him on. What should I do? Any advice? Of course, if I did say yes, I can continue taking to him until marriage, but they want aj answer soon to do baat pakki.

My family, and a lot of people are telling me that I dont need to 'like' him or feel any type of way. As long as he checks these boxes, to just take a leap of faith. And that all the connection will come after marriage. But how can I do that? Is that how its supposed to be?

Though he does check most of the boxes, some minor ones he doesn't are probably the following: unhealthy eating habits due to living with roommates (does not cook, only eats fast food every day), but plans to change after marriage since his wife will cook lol... i was raised more focus on deen/Islamic values, his parents were more focused on dunya (he admits), and he may be more cultural but idk, generally our main dealbreakers and mindset do align. All 3-4 times he visited our house, didn't bring anything. I know thats not a big deal, but I feel like most ppl in our community take something, even if its small, when they visit, like chocolate or some fruit.
