It all comes down to trust, communication and self-confidence. I think we often create our own problems by worrying about it.
I will admit that I do struggle with all of the above. I often am trusting, but when I do trust someone I often don't communicate very well due to the fear of being rejected, whether that means being put into the friend zone or someone leaving me from someone else. That all stems from lack of self-confidence, like there's someone who's better than me, or maybe I feel unattractive or unworthy of someone's love. It's a lot of stuff to work through. I think often enough, at least in my case, it is us not them. You also have to think that in many cases your partner may be feeling the same way about you, that you might leave them, or find them unattractive or afraid of saying how they feel about you, or that they love you because they're afraid of rejection...and so the cycle continues.
