Am I in the wrong?

Met my husband in 2020. A couple of months before we met I had a couple of Covid friendly outdoor dates with a guy I met on dating app. He was very sweet and got on well but I didn’t feel a romantic spark. Didn’t even so much as exchange a hug on these dates . After 2 dates I said sorry but not feeling it and there was no harm done as he took it well and that was that. We stayed connected on Instagram and occasionally send a msg replying to a story , or wishing each other a happy birthday as we share the same one.
we have daughters the same age and last year I had posted about attending a local Xmas event at our local uni aimed at children of their age range, and he had msged me at the time enquiring about it as he thought his daughter would be interested.
roll forwards to this year and the same event is on again ( a couple of different time slots ) which I had booked for me and my daughter. I sent a msg to him to say oh by the way this is on. He replied and said thanks for letting me know and that he already had booked for him and his daughter to attend which happens to be during the same time slot as me and my daughter. He made a friendly comment about buying me a coffee.
Of course if we bump into each other at the event I fully intend on being polite and would have a chat.
my worry is is this inappropriate as we once went on a couple of dates? If you were my husband would you be cross?
I might be over thinking it but I guess I wanted to hear others thoughts. TIA

I think this is a date. No matter how much you say it isn't, your reluctance to tell your husband the whole truth says to me that this meet up means something to you, beyond just a casual coffee and a natter.

How???

I’m just worried that my husband won’t see it for what it is. I guess he can tend to be a little jealous ( nothing ott) and I worry he will assume there is more to it based on how it sounds.

Maybe take this as a lesson not to put yourself in situations that may look dodgy to your DH?

If it's not something you feel you can outright tell him and you think it can look/sound bad, then you probably shouldn't be doing it 🤷‍♀️
