I don't know where all this fits within DB and I'm not an expert but I always believe and hear, being a woman, that for women emotional intimacy has to come before physical intimacy. It still seems to me that you're in the early stages of testing the water with one another and a friendship could pave the way back to a romantic relationship but I guess it all depends on what you want. If it's straight-to-dating or nothing then perhaps this approach won't work. If you're open to exploring and taking the next steps as you plan to see what unfolds then I don't see what's wrong with this approach but this comes from someone who has zero dating experience and a failed marriage so I apologize I don't have more wisdom to share. It does still seem wonderful having this chance to re-connect after divorce and to better understand what happened regardless.
