..and you're probably right that something isn't right. But you know what? You'll find out shortly what your instincts are trying to tell you. I wouldn't worry ahead of that.
As for your ex? I suspect he wants a tax write off and SSN checks Just a guess though.
Dating. Hmm.. Look at it this way. You go on the date. If it doesn't work out, you go home. End of the story. But I have to wonder if you're quite ready to date yet? You'll know pretty quick I'm sure and I think it's a good way to test yourself.
As for what to talk about? If it's that hard to find something to talk about...go home. End of story. If not, then enjoy the conversation. It may not turn into a love interest, but it could become a friendship.
And Wonka, what's wrong with the Santa-wanting-to-tongue-you thing? It could make for a great Christmas!

Just a guess though.
