Answer
Assalaamou'alaikoum

First of all, your situation is that you need to perform a Nikaah once you two have intended to get marry without delay.

Secondly - he will need to understand the concept of true 'Aqeedah or belief in Islam in regards to the innovation and Shirk so that he understand it well and doesn't cause any friction after marriage.

Thirdly, you may speak to him in a presence of a third person - if you want to know more about him. Speaking constantly without a mahram may lead to a fitnah and private meetings which is not permissible in Islam.

Allah knows best
