This is your choice. Would you rather be scared and do nothing, simply because something could go wrong? Or risk it in order to take the chance of it working or not?
The truth is, there is no error proof relationship. No matter who you get involved with, things can and will go wrong. But you have to accept that and roll with the punches.
I know it probably doesn't help, but keep these things in mind.

Hi Stephanie,
They say 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'.
But are you just scared of new experiences, or is your intuition giving you a nudge?
You talk of 'what happens if we break up', which makes it sound as if you are fearing rejection.
This may happen, but it does not mean that your 'Person' is rejected! It just means that an incompatibilty [or competition] of some sort has interfered. What if you come to realise that you are becoming less interested in him? You would surely want to be able to call it a day.
You need to realise yourself and others, your feelings and theirs, and walk the tightrope between happiness and sadness for all.
You will make mistakes, but hopefully learn from them. You are sensible to ask others for their views, and hopefully you will form an opinion from several different people [I can mistakes too].
Best regards, Bill.
