stop being afraid of commitment

Yesterday he told me he was into me, and I had mixed feelings, yes I like him back, but it was too hard for me to tell him. I love spending time with him, but im just scared to put myself out there. Someone told me that the regret is worse than the risk, I so guess I’ll have to muster up my courage and tell him how I truly feel. Somewhere deep inside, I know I want to be with him, besides in the end you can only hope for the best.
