Date on Thursday - Agh!!!

A 3 year relationship I was in ended just under 2 months ago very messy.

I had initially planned to take this year to focus on me and healing tbh but ive been chatting to this guy who lives only a few minutes away and hes asked me to go on a date with him this Thursday.

He seems really lovely and we seem to get on really well. He's aware of my situation and would still like to get to know me etc

Is it cruel of me to agree to the date? Im having my ups and downs with the breakup but I know me and my ex are finished... so...

What do yall think I should do? Am I being unkind by going?
