Overview
Do not be afraid of the intensity of the feelings you're having for someone else -- this is a new type of experience for you, which explains why you might be feeling some anxiety. Just give yourself all the time you think you'll need to process what is going on in your life, and things will turn out as well as they can. Honest communication is also important, so state what you want clearly, and do not blur your message with too much hemming or hawing.
