Yeah, exactly.
Do whatever you want - I don't even know what "respectful" means in this scenario. If you're still friends with the old guy, it's actually a pretty good litmus test of future friendship - if you can be open and honest with him in this area, you're good to go. If not, then at least you found out now.
If you're still even a little hung up on the past relationship (regardless of whether you ended it or he did), then you should probably date casually or sex up a bunch of randoms at the bar. Like Dan Savage famously said, every ml of someone else's saliva is worth one week of getting over a relationship. Until you're there, a serious relationship isn't all that fair, to you or to the other person. However, if you're good to go, then you're good to go.
