I can understand the fears and such. What does your heart say to do? I think that you know the answer to your question and it seems to me that you are asking if you can trust yourself. The answer is, yes you can.<p>Be you and that will be wonderful!

What to do, that is a good honest question. Well it all depends on what you want. The way God made us when we meet someone and we "feel good" the way that you describe it is called infatuation. If you just date or shack up, or if you get married with no direction in life the infatuation usualy has a 2 year lifespan, less if one or both are inconsiderate. If you make it your bussiness to build a meaningfull relationship the 2 years is plenty of time and the infatuation matures into love. My recomendation is to read the material on this site on before marriage and the best two books I have ever read on the subject His Needs Her Needs and Love Busters. If the two of you read and apply this knowledge on how to build a wallbanging good marriage you will have the option of living happily ever after.
Otherwise, you can get stds, pregnant, used, or just enjoy a fairly happy short relationship untill your mutual bad habits ruin it. Your choice. My wife and I married and did not have any effective training on making it work. Have been married 23 years , looonnnngggg years. Not prety. May God Be with you both.
