I've never had a guy show interest in me before, and as much as I want to date, fall in love, and marry, this gives me a major pit-of-the-stomach fear. I don't know how to respond to this kind of attention. Right away fear wells up and I feel instinctively urged to run from it. Maybe I could figure it out if it was someone I already know... like the person I wish would take interest in me... but what to do if someone starts flirting with me who seems nice, like someone I might like, but I've only just met? I wouldn't know what to do if someone wanted to go do something with me... I don't even know how to handle potential friendships, and a potential dating relationship is so much more scary. Just thinking about it I get all tense.
