How does / should a relationship develop?

And I know it's an impossible question to answer!

But hear me out. I was married for 15 years and then widowed. When I met my husband I had never had a relationship with anyone. A few odd dates but he really was the first person I had a long relationship with. Now I have been single for 2 years and have done some OLD, had lots of first dates and one short relationship that I ended for various reasons.
But now I have been seeing a lovely man for the last 4 months, and we have been talking since Jan this year. He makes me really happy and we are similar in many ways and enjoy the same things a lot of the time. But I don't know how things should be progressing? Should they even be progressing. A friend asked when I was planning to introduce him to the children like that was given at this stage. I have no concerns about doing it but also have no desire to do that soon. The dc would like to meet him (they are teens so know I am dating).

I feel like I am really falling for him and could easily fall in love actually. But I am not sure how he feels, we are both quite shy and a little guarded although I find him very loving when we are together. I guess that is part of the worry I have, neither of us very forward about how we feel or where we think the relationship is heading.

Would you have expected to have been invited to stay the night? I don't know? We have had sex and it has been very lovely and there is talk about spending time together but he is in no way pushy and neither am I. I just feel a little wobbly though because although I see good things I almost need him to say them too.

Erm, so if you have followed my ramblings and have any thoughts I would be happy to hear them
