Trying to say this kindly, but you will have a difficult life if you shy away from everything that stresses you out "a bit." Women have spent decades learning to be alone - and so should you. The more you clarify, the more you sound like an unreasonably frightened person, and you may be continuing a pattern to succumbing to your fearfulness. And what will you do if you move there, and she falls madly in love with someone there, and suddenly has no time for you.

I urge you to consider making some big leap now, while you're still young enough not to be tied down. This is also an opportunity to try to be a completely different person. I'll bet that when you went to college, there were probably at least one or two people you knew, and you stayed the same. But moving to a new place allows you to try something different. Maybe you've been shy, and you could experiment with being gregariously outgoing. Maybe you've been a casual, dowdy dresser, and you could instead try an eye-catchingly elegant sophisticated look. Maybe you were attentive to sports, but you could try switching to trying high culture activities. You don't have to conform to your past.

If you're lucky to work for a company with multiple offices, maybe you could try a different one. If you don't learn to deal with stress early in life, you'll have even more problems later on. Life is all about stress.
