Potentially wanting to date other people...help?

I got out of a long-term relationship 2 1/2 months ago. Shortly after, a male friend admitted he liked me and despite my reservations about my recent break up, we started going on dates. The dates were really fun - and I will freely admit that I always acknowledged he is the only guy I would ever consider dating were I not in a relationship. But I made it clear that I am not wanting anything serious at this stage - he said he completely understood this and even casually talked about why he likes being 'single'. But he gave out mixed signals, because he also started cooking me romantic meals and acting in very boyfriend-ly ways. He calls me most days now too - and I'm becoming increasingly worked up because we slept together recently/things felt very intimate between us...and it seemed quite lovey dovey. I don't want to fall in love again. Not yet anyway. It's too scary. It's almost like: if I was in the right place, he would be the perfect boyfriend for me. A week ago we talked about whether we wanted a relationship - I said I just wanted to 'date' and see how it goes, he said he understood considering I had recently emerged from a relationship and all was good. Which is around the same time he talked about liking being single.

Anyway, I recently met a new a guy through friends. I liked him instantly, we got on well and he's now asked me on a date. I would really like to go on this date, but although I haven't discussed exclusivity with the first guy I have a feeling he would be 1) hurt, 2) reluctant to keep dating. What are your thoughts? Would I be doing anything wrong on going on a date with this guy?

I've never done this before. Of course I could just not date at all - but that would be no fun...
