I'm not sure a romantic relationship would be right just yet. He's just coming out of a serious relationship. He may not be ready for another relationship yet. He'll need time for his emotions to heal and to get used to raising his daughter.

I don't know that the time is right for a romantic relationship, that is something you will have to decide on for yourself.
You need to remember that if he is JUST divorced, he may not be looking for a long term relationship right at the moment.
You will want to make sure he is ready for that before you get to deeply involved. Don't want to be the infamous "rebound" relationship. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

I think you should give him the benefit of the doubt and hear him out. I don't think you'll lose anything by that, and then you can at least be satisfied that you have done all you can to try and make this work.It is obvious that you still have feelings for him and thats why i am telling you to meet him. Perhaps his explanation will make sense to you.However, i do urge you to be careful and try to take this as cautiously as possible. Leave the door agar for him but
not wide open...Prepare yourself emotionally to accept that perhaps it is not meant to be. This is to prevent yourself from getting hurt.
Take care, be smart and be careful. I hope this turns out for the best. Keep us updated and comeback and talk to us if you need further advice.
