Help please😬

Soo I have not dated in a very long time and I’ve been recently divorced from my super abusive ex husband who was a compulsive cheater. I was always faithful to him and never talked to anyone else. Well now that it’s been a couple months, this guy has been talking to me for about a week. Very sweet, genuine and respectful so far. How long does the talking stage last? Or how to know if you’re just friends and nothing else? I know this sounds stupid, but I need help as my ex husband was the only guy I had been with.....🤦🏼‍♀️
