My ex and I were friends for quite a while before we finally both got the courage to give things a try, and yes it was agonizing. He was 4 years younger than me and I had a 3 year old son. We were both terrified.
Now I look on the whole dating situation with the same terrified eyes because I'm older, with kids, and the baggage of a horrible relationship. But hey, I'll either get over that or just be one of those crazy clingy "granola" moms that I absolutely hate.
