We have known each other since high school but we are in out 40s now. We connected on Facebook dating after she matched with me not realizing who I was so it was a natural attraction not based on the past but I knew right away. We went out every weekend and texted all day everyday for 5 weeks that ended with us last weekend getting a hotel and finally sleeping together. It was very passionate and great and we both had a wonderful night but she woke up super sick with a sore throat that she said she had been dreading since her mother and daughter had had it and was hoping she wouldn't get it so I took her home. During our time before this she told m3 she loved everything about me and that I was perfect for her and that she knew she was ready for a relationship. She said this a bunch. She would hold my hand when going out and we would kiss all the time and I just fell for her super hard. She smells amazing, is kind and just amazing soul. I fell for her even before we slept together but ive known her for over 20 years. So here's the issue. I was going to tell her how I felt after we had sex but she woke up sick and it didn't feel right so I put it off until I had a few drinks a couple days later and just said fuxk it, let the chips fall where they may. I texted her 😐 I told her how amazing she is and how I fell for her and it was a great message, its wasnt too much but it was to the point. She said she thinks she will hurt me and that I'm too good for her and that with her new diagnosis of borderline personality disorder she thinks she's a horrible person. She is very very hard on herself, i know that. She beats herself up all the time. She's never dated a man who hasn't beat her and now she thinks she's a horrible person not worthy of love and scared to hurt anyone like she's been hurt. I told her many things but basically that she needs time to heal from this diagnosis and that I would fight for her and that I'd love to show her how to love someone who is just a good person. It's been 3 days and I haven't called her or texted her and she hasn't either. I know I messed up by telling her, I can feel it and now I think it's all messed up. I wish we could start over and just be more chilled out like I usually am but I have never felt like this for someone else other then 1 other time and that was my last long term gf who passes away I'm 2019. I'm not going to reach out to her, I'm going to let her figure it out, that's what seems like the best thing but my heart wants to talk to her. God. What should I do? Any advice is greatly helpful and needed.
