I see what you're saying, but what if I told you I had the same feelings the last time I dated someone? I gave in to the panic and we stopped dating. Since then though, they've become one of my closest friends and they've been nothing but nice to me in the 1 1/2 years I've known them, so I don't know if it's because I think they're a threat.

I suppose I'm just worried this'll happen every time I try dating someone and I don't know how to get to the bottom of this.
