Dating advice for the newly divorced?

I met a guy while barhopping. I am 25, no kids, and almost divorced; he is 35, has kids and hasn’t really started the process yet. He got in touch, and suggested we go for drinks, but I suggested lunch the next week. The next day he was texting me to meet him at a bar, when I declined, he suggested he stop over. Um, no. A week later, he emailed. I responded that the text was creepy, and I’m unsure since he’s technically married and living with his wife. He feigned innocence on the text, said he didn’t “expect” anything of me, and said we could wait for the divorces. We had a decent chat on the phone, leaving it that we would keep touch. This was two weeks ago. I think he’s nice and intelligent, though a few friends think he sounds weird. For some reason, I can’t get this guy out of my mind. Maybe it’s just because he showed interest in me, pathetic as that sounds (after two years with a jerk, it’s nice to be liked). So, should I email him? Or wait? Or forget about him?
