I guess what I am really nervous about is the unknown.

Why not just take it one day at a time and don't rush into anything. I am a firm believer in a 6 month probation period when I am dating. Once the giddiness of the "honeymoon" phase wears off you are better able to see someone for who they actually are. Also, if his wife left him and he has recently divorced you sure don't want to be the rebound/transitional relationship. Just see how things flow once he moves and don't put lots of pressure on the relationship or have big expectations at this point.

Another rule I have is to not involve my children in my dating life until it is exclusive and serious. They have been through enough with the divorce of myself and my ex and then my ex remarried and divorced again. Then he remarried (3rd marriage) shortly after that!

Welcome to the board and just enjoy getting to know this guy!
