He is going through hard time right now with his family matter. But he didn't tell me specifically the problem. Im the one that usually try to give few suggestion for solution as a sign of me caring, but since i didn't know the detail, i can't do that.

What else can i do to comfort him?
Distraction by having fun won't work..

Do you think inviting him for a walk at the park will do anything? Gentleman out there, what do you usually hope people offers you when you have an issue and down?

It is probably going to vary between each guy but my best suggestion is to simply tell him that you are there for him and support him. Then give him space to deal with things the way he deals with that. If it is the first time dealing with such an intense family situation he may be figuring out how to handle it. That is where the space comes in. Let him come to you when he needs you and not the other way around. If you push him during a time of need to do something (even a walk) and he is emotionally stressed it could cause issues even tho that is not your intention. By letting him come to you when he feels like he needs your support you can avoid that problem. Just let it be known that you are there for him when he needs it.

Don't push. Just tell him you care and let him have the space to feel his feelings, not trying to talk to him about them until, or if he needs to talk about it.

If you don't know what the problem is how are you going to support?
