He has been so battered down by those around him there is little likelihood of him actively risking additional ridicule. You're going to have to do a Sadie Hawkins on the guy and 告白 yourself or just forget about it.
As for the bit about all the cultural (or intercultural) stuff....that's something you just have to make your mind up if you're willing to deal with it or not. As you are no doubt mature enough to recognize for yourself, reality has an annoying way of failing to conform to our preferences. If you think you want to marry into the culture and assimilate, then you have to be ready to accept whatever that entails and not give the poor guy hell if it turns out to be not what you thought or more than you think you should have to deal with.
Don't get in too much of a rush. The little time you've been here so far is a drop in the bucket compared to what you're looking at if you're truly contemplating staying here permanently.
