My friend wants to date me but the idea of dating terrifies me. I said we could just feel things out first but how do I tell her if I decide to back out? I think I want to try it out but I'm so scared that it makes me think I'm not ready, I don't feel ready, my life is a mess and I can barely handle it myself. I don't know what to do and how to not hurt her feelings, she's my only good friend and if I loose her then I have to start at the beginning again with no one to talk to about anything.
