This was a week ago and I haven't heard from him since. We are both in our late 40s and he is a widower of five years. Could be just be moving slowly or is he really not interested in seeing me again? During our meeting he asked me to a concert that is in two months. I have not tried to contact him, but this is a better unnerving.

I agree, it's strange that he would email you that he would like to see you again and even invited you to a future event, then not talk to you for a week.
I would give it another week, and if he still hasn't initiated any conversation with you, then just send him a nonchalant and friendly email. Being that you two have met thru an internet dating site, he may be dating other women. So don't worry about it too much and set up some dates with other men you're interested in. It will help keep your mind off of him, and hey, you may find someone you like even better who will be calling you nonstop!

 I would maybe drop a brief line just to say hello and that you hope his week has gone well. If he doesn't respond I'd assume he's no longer interested and move on. If a guy wants to see you, he'll make it happen, and if not there are plenty out there who will.

 He could have his reservations. Its hard, sometimes, when you hit late in life, to date people and try and get into another committed relationship, and then find out maybe it was a bad choice.So he has his doubts. He's not young. He doesn't want to risk getting involved with you and get his heart broken. At this later stage in life, heartbreak is not exactly that easy to take especially if you're lonely going in and someone disappears from your life just like the wife did before.I have to say if you are interested in him, maybe call him up and ask him if he's afraid of you. Maybe it just takes some gentle kindness and a few good laughs to get him interested in life again. Maybe he's still in love with his deceased wife. It happens. In that case, he's just afraid to let go or he's pretty much built a wall around himself for self-protection.I can see where he's at.
