How long since the ex? If you still are harboring bitterness, you don't need to be dating yet. You'll always have the baggage, you simply need time for the heaviest crap to fall out.

You probably aren't ready for a relationship.

Be upfront with this guy, either keep it at a platonic level or treat it like a fling, either way be honest about it.
