I think you're just looking for excuses because maybe you're scared or so you don't mess up or something along those lines.
Being scared - or treading carefully at least - is not a bad attitude though. I wish more people would think before jumping head first into every opportunity for a relationship. After all fear is a protective mechanism and in this case it might protect you and somebody else from getting hurt when it's avoidable. Not everyone who is a good friend is also a good partner. That's just basic
damage control to me.
Making some good and bad experiences is necessary, no doubt about that. If you don't feel up to it though, you should take your time and figure out what you're lacking. In some cases it might just be confidence.
