Is it normal i'm afraid to fall in love?

I'm slowly falling for a really nice guy. He treats me like a princess and it's very unlikely that he'll ever hurt me, but still I hate that I'm starting to like him this much. I'm afraid I'll fall for him because I don't like to depend of anyone. I like to rely on myself. I don't want to be hurt by anyone. I don't know what to do. I always try so hard to be cold and distant but this time I don't think I can control myself. Have you ever been in the same situation?

    You can love someone without depending on him. I'd even argue that being self-reliant and loving someone is far better than being needy and loving someone.

    I know what it's like to suffer loss and become cautious about getting close to others, but good people are worth that risk. Just because you welcome someone into your heart doesn't mean you become dependent.

    I've always been like you. I'm too scared to be hurt so whenever someone comes to me and treats me so nicely, I don't easily let myself fall for that person even how much he says he likes me. But I give in with those I can feel sure that they are nice, and will not hurt me. So in your case, if you feel like he's really good and you're comfortable around him, just let your heart decide whether to go for it and give it a chance or stay the same, be single and distant yourself from him. Like someone said, love is worth the risk..especially with that special someone who is genuinely nice to you.

    It's always hard to let yourself be vulnerable to someone, especially when you're so aware of what can happen if it all goes wrong.

    All you can do is try to choose who you risk your heart on in a careful way and hope for the best.

    Some people are worth the risk but that all depends on you.
