the old one- our daughter is far to good for him- what do we do?

Our 19 year old daughter has been going out with her boyfriend for coming up a year now. We and various friends and relatives cannot see what she sees in him and think she is far too good for him. He's extremely scruffy, says little (even to her friends who are the same age group) and has no enthusiasm for anything. She's an intelligent uni student and over the past year we have noticed a real change in her- she seems to have lost her sense of humour and doesn't seem to bother what she looks like anymore.
We have gone along with it for this long hoping she would see the light, we are very wary of driving a wedge between her and us. Any advice? Thanks

I've got two girls and I always tell them if I think someone's an arsehole boyfriend.

I know its the wrong thing to do and your supposed to pretend to like them but actually, I just can't bring myself to do that.

Strangly enough, they seem to appreciate my candidness (in this regard, not in any other matter lol)

You have my sympathies.

Is your DD living at home? How is she doing at uni? What is her social life like?
