Am l love?

I left my matrimonial home over 6years ago due to abuse, violation! It has been tough moving on! I have 2 kids! I attempted a relationship 2 years ago but it didn't go past 2/3month! I know l need to move on but don't know how! Recently l noticed l've been thinking a lot about this new guy who coincidentally is not married! I don't know if he feels the same way like l do and l don't want to ask him lest l appear "cheap"! Please l need your advice....how do l go about it all?
