That – right there – is what you want: someone who doesn’t steal your thunder, who wants everyone to think ‘lucky him’ rather than ‘lucky her’. And that makes you both lucky. If he gets crotchety when the spotlight is on you, if he starts to comment on something else when you’re in the middle of a joke then he’s a bit of a tool. Or just insecure. But neither is going to work. Stay with the boy who always thinks you’re the greatest in the room, as that will last.
