"I just wonder if I will know how to handle all that it entails." -- don't get ahead of yourself and the relationship :-) I'm sure you can learn to relate to this man and handle whatever the relationship brings. Another person and a relationship is just another person and a relationship; we all have our unique makeup, that's what "Life" is about, getting to know ourselves and others and "handling" what it all entails. You don't have to marry him tomorrow, there's plenty of time to grow into whatever you need :-)
