Moving on

So its been 10 months now and I'm trying to move on.

At first I thought that he may come back to reconcile but nothing. Many of you in this forum discuss how your N doesn't let you move on by constant phone calls etc. This is not my case as my N as he "warned me" by saying "I don't chase after girls" did the complete opposite. He has not contacted me since we broke it off. Which you could say is a good thing though only now am I trying to move on though I can't.

Recently there has been a man that has shown interest in me - so I accepted that he receive my number and arranged a date. I've only met him the one time previous to our date and felt like I don't want to rush it. But at the same time i'm 30 and don't have time to waste plus I need to move on.

So we went on a "date" to dinner and a comedy show. He was a complete gentleman - opening car doors (which a man i have dated has never done - EVER), allowing me to enter first, paying for the show and meal etc, humble etc. Though only one problem...I don't physically and completely feel attracted to him. He pretty much is the complete opposite to my ex in character (from what i have seen). He's willing to be romantic and a gentleman.
My ex was tall and attractive/good looking. This gentleman isn't as sweeping off the feet physically but that does not bother me as at the end of the day its the person that matters. Though I am not attracted to him as he is to me. I don't know if it is partly because of the effect of my ex or that I just really don't feel anything for him. I don't want to lead him on as I feel accepting another date may be suggesting this but at the same time I want to move on with a good man. But how can I do this when I feel this way? I so want to open my heart to him but I have no real attraction to him. Maybe this will come who knows...though I don't want to play with him. If anything I see him more of someone that if it doesn't go in the way of an intimate relationship I would have him as a friend. Bt is this possible after "dating" or him being attracted to you. So the question is what do you all make of all this??
