PREVIOUS COMPLICATION AFFECTING THE CURRENT ONE
I'm newly dating someone who had previous complication in his x marriage. He has a daughter and he always shows me that he cannot show any feelings due to his previous depression. The story happens from longtime with him and after he met also a girl and he fails in his relationship. I'm trying to understand him and not being pushy since he always says that he needs time to express feelings and get in love. How should I deal with him to help him and help our relationship?

The truth here is that he's always going to need time to express feelings because he can't do nor fall in love. It's a part of his depression and fears that he never really dealt with.
It can be resolved but he needs a different psychiatrist and new plan and treatment and possibly anti-depressants and therapy to address this inability rather than let it push him around and destroy relationships. He must get help explicitly for this.
You need to convince him to do so as you LOVE him and his child but want him to be able to experience love and express feelings he has easier. Explain to him that changing doctors, medication and getting therapy to aggressively deal with love and feelings will forever free him of a great burden.
Tell him you aren't going anywhere and want to do all you can to help him express love and those feelings as he's 100% worth it and the right partner for you. Build his confidence up and tell him that you weren't saying this to be pushy or negative but rather to help him move forward from it and enjoy his relationship with you.
