It sounds like you aren't actually ready to start dating yet. And it's okay if you want to take some time to yourself to finalize your divorce and get your life back together. Why don't you let him know that you really care about him but need some time to yourself to work through some things. Once you're settled you'll be able to date but right now you don't feel you have anything to give back into a relationship.
