Too soon to date ?

I've written a few times about an ex who has been hounding me.
I think I've managed to get him to stop. He has been relentless and has taken to insults and dragging up personal information to hurt me with but I've simply blocked him. He has in the past used new email addresses then to re contact.
I had heard that he was on tinder immediately after the relationship broke up... this was all during the time he was begging for another chance so when I saw him on that I knew for sure that it was 100% over for me.
Having set up an anonymous profile to see if was indeed on there, I got chatting to a man and we kept on chatting .
The relationship is over three months and I had absolutely no intention of dating
For a long time again, simply because I have my kids full time them despite being teenagers and being generally busy.
I can't offer much commitment to anyone right now and my kids need me more than ever.
Would I be nuts to consider a coffee date with this guy.
It's only been chatting on messages but we seem to have a lot in common, live near each other and have very similar family set ups.
I have absolutely no lingering feeling for my ex and I'm not distraught or adversely affected by his nonsense so there's no hangover from the relationship.
I live my limited free time but enjoy chatting to this man and on paper have a lot in common.
Should I meet him ?
I guess I don't know what I want so don't want to be that flaky either.

You don't really know him, and you can be put off by what you see in front of you (if you do meet up). If you have 30 mins to spare on your lunch break, go for a coffee.

This is true

I would go for coffee, at worst you may make a new friend?

Meet for a walk or whatever
