i have just met a really great guy. Unfortunately, i haven't dated since before i was married 23 years ago. I'm totally unsure of how to behave. Im nervous, and don't want to seem too aggressive, but I want him to know I do like him. We seem to do the "friendly talk", but I want to really know what makes him tick. How do I approach that?

You're the man. You make the move. If you've decided that you want to meet her (see #1 above), ask for her phone number. Women don't want to have "the ball put in their court". Even here in the twenty-first century, women still respond best to a confident man that (considerately) takes charge of the first few dates. He takes her likes and dislikes into account, genuinely listening to all the things she's said in OC and later about what she likes, but he makes the move. When you 'put the ball in her court', you just emasculated yourself. Why would she want to go out with someone so lacking in confidence?
There should be a "Like" button for this.
