There is sadly no set time for how long the heart takes to heal. It can be days, weeks or years. It all comes down to how deeply that pain was and how much fear that has given us (as a guy) going forward. Yet that doesn't also mean there is no chance of building something in the process.
My best advice is talk to him about what is holding him back, what fear from the heartbreak is making him take slow steps?
Then offer to support him but in a way that helps him push through this fear.
I think that he is past the heartbreak, but is scared more of getting hurt again than of the past relationship. I. e he loved someone that hurt him and doesn't want you to do the same. SO seeing love from you equally brings up that fear that you might.
Overall get to the root of the slowness and you will build a stronger relationship in the process :-)

It can take a long time, depending on the guy. Years, in some cases, and it also depends on the relationship they had, how close they were, etc. Lot of factors.
it depends. my friend's boyfriend started a relationship 4 years after his breakup. though he said he had some flings during those years, while for others it only took months.
