My situation is slightly different than the typical. I am soon to go on my first date with someone I met on eH, and as the "getting to know you" phase has been different with all my matches, this one I've spent a few weeks on the phone/text/email getting to know him better.

The reason this situation is different from the one I have read on the boards is that he never had children from his previous marriage. I have never been married. We both do not wish to have children in our lifetime, and in fact that is the reason his marriage did not work out.

From my assessment he seems very emotionally healthy. Because he never had kids part of me says it's not much different than a long term relationship that didn't pan out. I was hoping that people could perhaps give me some insight into things to look for that may indicate he may not be ready to start a new relationship?

He does not seem to carry baggage from his previous marriage, but I could be wrong. I am absolutely not trying to find faults in him, but because I've never treaded on marriage territory, I am curious to know if there is anything I may be overlooking that could complicate venturing towards a successful relationship. Since no children are involved, it wouldn't seem like there would be. Thoughts?
