Hello techygran. Although I am not in your position my thoughts on your post are surely he likes you as he has invited you out. If you do cancel there will be other 'what ifs'. I think I would go with the moment but I cannot help with the nerves!

Hello all, although I've been a member for a while and read the forums often this is the first time I have posted. I've seen how helpful and wise the comments can be on here and I am in desperate need of some anonymous support.

My DH and I divorced 18 months ago. He was my second marriage and it had lasted 12 years. My first husband passed away years ago.

I have been asked out by a mutual acquaintance who similarly divorced a couple years ago. We've got similar interests and it would be like friends going out for dinner - which is a good thing I think.
I'm extremely nervous. What if there's no spark - how do I let him down gently? Or what if I fall for him and he doesn't fancy me in the slightest. I feel like a teenager again. Has anyone else been in this position? I'm debating cancelling just because I can't bear the whatifs!
