He isn't my usual type, but there is something mysterious about him. He usually initiates communications, and is always the first to cheer me up when things aren't great. Any advice?

Friends are friends they don't pounce the first chance they get .. If it happens it happens .. support be there .. be a listening ear but go out and life your life also .. I myself deteSt peeps who say they are friends when in fact they want more and are using the friend card as an excuse to get close .. yes friendship is needed in any foundation of a relationship don't get me wrong .. but friendship should come with no strings attached ..
If say you meet a few times or chat more and that increases and his level of interest increases along with yours .. then that naturally .. but you seem to want more and are disguising this by saying I'm here if you want me kinda thing .
A friend isn't a rebound girl anyway .. There just a friend .. who supports listens makes them laugh that kinda thing ..
If your struggling with that now you know he's on the market .. maybe you need to back off a little ..
Sorry it's just how I see it ..

4 or 5 months ago means that yes it is still fresh and you are a support to him. But it does not mean that he is not ready to move on with his life. Don't expect to much, just go with the flow and see what happens. If you feel you are getting feelings for him then be honest.

I will do what N91 and denizen say take it slow since he broke up with his ex gf and isn't looking to start up anything new yet. Just keep on being his friend still until he starts feeling better about the break up. It is good that you are there for him in his time of need and he is there for you when you need support or if you're down. That really shows what a great friend you are to eachother.

Who knows? Take it slow and see how he acts. If he offers to take you on dates then probably not, if he tries to turn things sexual then you probably are.

Be careful. Go slow. Find out more. Be prepared to break this connection. You are already expecting too much.
