Should I go on a date with my ex-situationship’s friend?

I stopped seeing my ex-situationship about 7 months ago. Randomly, a few days ago on Instagram this guy wanted to follow me. I let him, and we both started chatting and he asked me out. After snooping on his profile a bit more I realized he’s very good friends with the guy I used to see. I’m not really sure how to go about this. I’m sure this guy will tell my ex when he finds out. Am I overthinking this? I do want to go out with him but I think it will be awkward when he finds out.
