How can I get over this fear?
I'm 23 and I think it was time I was in more than just friendships. I don't have a problem talking to girls or women and I get a sense that some of them like me and would not mind pursuing a relationship. The problem is when I feel myself getting involved or feeling more than just friendship, I back off. I'm afraid I will do something that will mess up the relationship and then I will become one of those guys who messed up their dreams of ever having a good relationship. How can I get over this fear?
First, I'm glad you recognize this as a fear. Second, you need to get over yourself just a little bit. I guarantee you that unless you do something extreme, you won't mess up their dreams of ever having a good relationship. You need to realize what we all need to realize: we are responsible for what we bring to a relationship and we are responsible for how we respond to what someone else brings. You need to wake up every morning and decide you are going to give the best of yourself to your relationship. It doesn't mean being a doormat or being controlling, but being the kind of person you would want to live with when you give and receive love.
It isn't a guarantee that everything will go well, but in the event it doesn't, you know you can leave knowing you've done the best you could and you are left with the assurance of knowing you can give and receive again when the opportunity presents itself.
Take that next step and jump into the game.
