    \$\begingroup\$ +1! Additionally, consider what qualities and contributions a watcher can bring to the group dynamic; what are his talents and how is he comfortable participating? Maybe he's better at dealing with some of the table's social-contract elements like organizing the food or taking session notes. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 18, 2013 at 12:13

    \$\begingroup\$ Ask him offline if he's enjoying himself. If he says yes, then Soulrift is probably right. If not, ask him what he would like to be different? If he isn't enjoying himself and doesn't come up with a way he would like things to be different, he'll probably quit soon anyway. (Not meaning to be sarcastic with the last part - he probably thought he was going to enjoy himself and now is finding he isn't, so quitting is a good option. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 18, 2013 at 17:00
