Shall I go on this date?

I recentlyish (about 5 months ago) got out of a long term relationship. I was with the guy since I was a teenager and now I'm pushing 30.

I'm not really looking to date atm but I went to a concert on my own (pretty sad I know but I really wanted to go and none of my friends could go with me) and I got chatting to a guy there. We spoke quite a bit and at the end he asked for my number which I gave him.

He's text me asking if I want to go see something at the cinema with him next week. I'm assuming this is a "date" although nothing really has been mentioned.

He seemed like a really nice guy and I'd like to see him again, I'm just not sure I'm ready for another relationship so soon so I'm not sure what to do.

I've not really dated before so I don't know how this works!

Any advice?

Date. Not dare 🙄

Its a date. Go along and take it easy. Just enjoy yourself. He does not need to know everything about you. You can just show him who you are and get to know him.

Just go, enjoy the film and have no expectations! See how it pans out.

You're still very young so you have lots of time. However, its not easy meeting someone now so you have to grab every opportunity when it comes your way. Go on the date and then if he indicates he wants more from you, you can then decided if you want to tell him you're not ready.
