It's not a mecha anime; it's a psychological/philosophical coming of age series that just happens to have mecha in it.

You know, like how Escaflowne is a shoujo fantasy romance series that just happens to have mecha in it.

But yeah, you might want to tell him about all the fanservice and beer.

Just sit him down and show it to him. Threaten him or something. That's what my friend did to get me to watch Evangelion (I had the same viewpoint as your friend does), and now I owe my entire anime addiction to him.

my friend was really agaisnt watching evangelion for some reason so i made him watch the movie EoE and he got hooked on it after like 5 min of the movie. then after he saw movie he wanted to watch the series. i know its wierd watching the movie first but it worked for him. and also tell him bout the beer and all that might work.

The magic words are "Only about 1/3 of it is fighting. If that." I don't have much of a taste for mecha shows either - the only ones I like so far are Eva and Voices of a Distant Star. But I liked those ones because they are not mecha shows so much as shows with robots in them. Meaning that the point is more about the characters than the random fighting. I think that's a major selling point for somebody who isn't a fan of the genre already.

And try not to hype it up as THE BEST THING EVER PUT TO FILM OMGORGASM, because it's going to be a letdown if you build it up too high.

show him some asuka or rei pron

Why such a hard choice?

I'll totally agree with Sarah on this one -

Exactly. My brother ruined the series for a couple of people exactly that way. It's a great series to watch and yes, you should emphasize the character aspects of it to a person who doesn't like mecha... but don't overdo it. It makes both you and the series look retarded in the end.

One of the best things is if you can keep the depressing late-series stretch as an unexpected turn. Had I seen it coming on my first viewing, I probably wouldn't have been very interested in Eva at all.
