your welcome :)
I wouldn't wait till you have gotten over your fears. Because it is better if you have a partner who can support you.
How long do you know this person? If you know him for quite some time and you feel comfortable with him (meaning if you think you can trust him) then i would try to confide in him. But you should choose your words wisely, when you are going to tell him about your issue and you should also point out that you think you might be successful, as long as he is willing to go on this journey with you.
take care and i hope things will work out well for you.

hey, i can totally understand you. i too, have similar issues like you.if you are to have a relationship with someone and it is going on well, then i think you should tell him at one point that you have fears, and he should try to understand and be patient with you. if a guy refuses to understand or support then you should leave him.another good idea would be that you should go and consult a therapist, who will help you overcome your fears. i know it may seem difficult but it will help you because as soon as you overcome your fears, you can then have a successful relationship without any worries.
