<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Some important points about his break up:

* His girlfriend of 3 years cheated on him, he ended things
* They've been broken up for about a month
* They used to live together, he is now moved out
* It was a shitty relationship, but he loved her

Between me and him:

* Known each other for 3 years
* Not close - just same friend group, we probably only spoke properly after he and his GF broke up
* Went out twice - coffee, dancing on a double date with mutual friends (bit of grinding, mostly silly)
* Little bit of affection while drinking, mostly platonic at this point
* Message frequently
* We are in the same friend group

I should also include that I've really only ever been in short term (6 months) or casual relationships, so I don't really know what he's going through, though I can empathize.

I'm not sure what we are or what we will be, but right now there is definitely interest. He even messaged me after both dates saying how much he enjoyed my company and that he had a fantastic time.

 I'd really like to date him and I'm fine with moving slowly. There's a lot of chemistry and common interests, etc.. But, obviously it's not ideal that he's fresh out of a relationship. What should I know about dating someone who's possibly vulnerable or still has feelings for their ex? What's some advice I can use to make this go as smoothly as possible? I know that it's likely he just won't be ready, or might be re-bounding, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
<bot>: Might start dating (kind of already have) someone who just got out of a relationship, what should I be prepared for, how should I proceed?
