Sedna...

I would say that a person's EnneaType AND Wing is highly-specific information... not to mention personal. This leads me to conclude that you already know this person fairly well. How long have you known him? Have you two ever gone out socially? Do you get positive romantic vibes from him?

I'm a male 5w4, and I have to admit that I don't find myself interested in very many different women. I actually prefer solitude to being with someone who doesn't interest me. I think many people consider me somewhat aloof, but I am friendly toward women whom I consider attractive -- either physically, intellectually, or both. I also tend to let them know through mild flirtation.

On the other hand, if a woman expresses interest in me when I can't reciprocate, I feel terrible and awkward. (Many Fives are socially-awkward to begin with; this would amplify the awkwardness.) Being sensitive, it would be difficult to deliberately hurt someone's feelings -- especially someone who only expresses good will toward me.

I'd recommend chatting with him and making a lot of eye contact to see if you get positive vibes back from him. If so, try some subtle flirtation. Chances are, he'll flirt back if he's interested.
