Should I go on this date?

I split with my ex a few weeks ago. I haven't wanted to be with them for a long time. I broke up with ex numerous times and this time it's for good. I have no romantic feelings.
I thought I'd go on a dating app just to see what was about. I matched with a guy a few days ago and we have been chatting. He seems nice and I was upfront and honest that I wasn't sure what I'm looking for atm as recently out of a relationship. He thanked me for being honest and said we can just see.
He asked if I was free to meet up this week. I want to but is it too soon? Or should I just seen and have no pressures as I've already been upfront about what I'm looking for?
Also there has been no serial chat at all which I'm surprised about on a dating app as so many men hint about it. He seems respectable.

What do you think?

Go for it. What have you got to lose? Life is short.

Go. Decent honest non sleazy men on OLD are rarer then hens teeth.

What’s worst that can happen?

There's no harm in an evening out, but I do think most women would be happier and have more successful relationships going forward, if they learned to enjoy life on their own for a bit inbetween relationships.

I'd rather spend time going out with friends, or concentrating on getting a new friendship group together.

Never really a good idea to jump out of one relationship and then (possibly) straight into another.

Tbh I was on my own for 5 years. Then with my ex however the last 2 relationships I've felt like I was on my own. I never really saw him much and liked being on my own as like I said I did end the relationship alot as I knew it weren't right.
