Hey, talking from experience of being on the other side of that, you know, dating the one who wonders if they're a good boyfriend:

When he opened up and and expressed that fear to me, and reiterated it when he was worried, it was very easy for me to soothe that worry. And I found it comforting to know I was able to do so, so it brought us closer rather than being any kind of pain to me.

I'm just an advocate of openness.
