I've never romanced him. You really have to call him boring?
I have romanced him and I don't know what this is about either. Generally, he is a pretty good sport about teasing him (unless it gets too mean) and is aware of his faults enough to joke about them, which leads to a couple very memeable situations. Other than that I noticed that Shadowheart especially is fairly dismissive about him - though that might just be her in general.
