Not sure if I like this guy, pls evaluate him only on his traits; should we date?

This giuy has asked me out and we have gone out once, we hang out all the time, though. I was just wondering if you could evaluate him based only on his traits and see if you think I should go out with him? I don't know if I like him that way yet, but I just got out of an abusive seven year relationship and he knows I need time before jumping into another one.

This is him;

Pros:

Smart

Manners

Funny

Sensitive

Respects women

Possibly the nicest guy ever

Awesome boyfriend material

Same taste in music, movies, etc. as me

Same sense of humor

My friends adore him

Will do anything for me

Cons:

He's not exactly attractive; he has a beard which he looks worse without, and bad dental hygenie... ewww to the point where I would not want to kiss him

I'm a Christian, he's apathetic about religion (this is probably the biggest dealbreaker)

I'm in love with someone else who I can never have

I still have huge psychological issues from my last relationship, to be perfectly honest; I have a hard time trusting men now

He's a musician, music major at our college & wants to be famous; that's pretty much his career plan (I am a buisness adminstration major, 4.0 student and that is not going to fly with me, long term)

Could I just be guilt tripping myself into liking him because he has been so excessively nice to me? Help! Also, if I shouldn't be dating him, what do I do? I can't just stop talking to him; it's him and I that plan all my group of friend's get togathers. Plus, he's just a great guy.

Update:

deadfaith-

if YOU aren't picky when thinking about dating someone, I have to wonder what's wrong...

    ur only drawn to him because he was there for u during or after ur previous relationship, u should just tell him that u only like him as a friend b4 he gets possessive.

    and from his cons the teeth thing is a problem

    Well if you just came out of a bad relationship you probably shouldn't jump right into another anyways... plus if your only evaluating him on his traits then you should start thinkin about the way u look for a guy.. because to me it seems like you want a more serious relationship.. but your looking for a guys like you would for short term.... i'd say your guilt tripping yourself and you should wait till your with a guy that just makes you feel special without trying to be nice or anything..........

    just my opinion which does or doesnt matter who cares

    I think you should give it a shot. You don't have to make any commitments yet. Just see what it's like. If it doesn't work out just stay friends. And about the dental thing.. if you two are close hint it to him somehow. Same with the beard. :)

    aww man. a relationship is based on feelings. and to an extent physical attractiveness. if you are not going to be turned on by him then dont do it, it will hurt you in the long run and will make you want to cheat.

    if you really want to date him, hint about the dental thing

    You should give him a try. He sounds great and it sounds like you guys have alot in common. It cant hurt to date and see if the two of you can have something more meaningful.

    Unfortunately, if you arent physically attracted to someone it's hard to get into dating them to find out if you could go somewhere. I would give him a try, you dont have to kiss him if you dont wanna haha
