How to help a friend suffering from BDD?

2. I don't know if he will be OK...

He's been trying to date girls recently and faces nothing but rejection. He thinks this is further confirmation of his ugliness but I keep trying to tell him that the real reason is that he's a ball of neuroticism, awkwardness and desperation. No girl is going to want to go out with that, and it has nothing to do with your looks. But he won't listen and is unwilling to fix these other, IMO more important issues. He claims he comes across as perfectly normal, and uses his years of experience as a bank teller to claim that he knows how to interact with people. I know the kind of guy he is though, he's probably crafting a "normal" image that he wears in public and on dates "he's even admitted as much". I'm sorry but girls are going to see through that, it's going to seem robotic an awkward, and I really think he needs to fix these other issues. He's talked about feeling suicidal in the past as well. I have to in the past so I don't know how serious he really is, but I wouldn't put it past him.
