<human>: Here's the skinny:

My history with relationships is, simply put, a history of screwing up. The timeline of my love life has very large gaps, interrupted by incredibly brief (often less than one month) attempts at solidifying a potential relationship, only to watch them burn in the flames of my own over-zealousness and crippling fear of dying alone - I make too many early and overly romantic gestures, and I do/say very relationship-age-inappropriate things, because part of me wants very much to be in a serious relationship IMMEDIATELY.

This time, things are going incredibly well. The woman and I are compatible on seemingly every level (she's been very receptive, even after learning that I'm a virgin), and each day we spend together is make-you-want-to-puke wonderful.

That said, she just initiated the "I don't want to take things too quickly" conversation earlier this evening, with the disclaimer that it was in an entirely positive context. Now, as you probably could have guessed, this language scares the ever living fuck out of me, given my history of screwing things up in that very fashion. 

Despite my nerves, I managed to be receptive, and deep down, I very much agree with the sentiment.

So, Reddit, how do I do it?

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: We're in a new relationship and incredibly compatible/attracted to one another, but I don't know what it means to take things slow because I've never not fucked up a relationship by jumping in too quickly. What do?
