New directions?

So it's now been 8 1/2 months since the split with the stbx. We are both still trying to find ways to finance a divorce but in our hearts it's already been completed. There is nothing there anymore. He has a girlfriend in another town that he won't admit he has. I don't know how long he's been seeing her and I don't know what has gone on with them, but honestly I don't care anymore. I want nothing to do with him. We talk and it's amicable, all the stress and accusations are in the past. As soon as I can have my maiden name back, I'll be a happy girl.
 
That being said, I have started to experience flirtation for the first time in a very.... very.... very VERY long time. He's a good friend of mine, six years my junior and I am feeling like a kid. I am excited about the prospect of having someone interested in me again. I am nervous about letting myself pursue any sort of romantic endeavor. I am worried about rejection over all, I have reservations about my body image, and most of all I'm worried about ruining our friendship. He's super sweet, intelligent, crazy good looking and I am terrified of being burned again. What should I do?!?!! Oh but playing the sweet on you game is so much fun....and so dang infuriating!! Lol I laugh at myself thinking I'm near to 30 and acting like a teenage girl again.... I guess I'll just play it by ear and see how things go with him... maybe it'll be a fun little adventure and maybe it'll be something more.... and then just maybe I'll end up crying again. Such is the risk of love/infatuation/lust... right?
