I'm scared of being in a relationship?

I'm terrified of being in a relationship. Whenever a guy flirts with me, I like the attention, but when he actually tries to go to the next step (aka getting my number/asking me out/seriously showing interest) I freak out and bail. It's weird because in my head having a boyfriend would be cute and fun and sweet, but in reality I'm so nervous when a guy actually tries. Just wondering, what's wrong with me? ._. Is this, like, social anxiety or something? I have no idea...

    I was like that when I was younger, I would sort of day dream about having a boyfriend and in my head it was amazing but if a guy actually showed interest i would tuck my tail between my legs and run. At that time I just wasn't ready for a relationship, I just wanted to be. All of my friends were getting boyfriends and I felt like I had to be at their level, plus everyone wishes for a romance even if they aren't ready for it. I was also super shy when I was younger, there isn't anything wrong with you and there is nothing wrong with waiting a while. The time will come when a guy shows an interest in you and you won't be as afraid as you are now. Just don't rush yourself.
