I don’t think there’s a bullet to dodge. She’s not a special, fragile, unicorn that you have to worry about Breaking or scaring away.
You felt a certain way, you were honest about it and she was honest back. That’s maturity. All you are doing is treating another person with respect and kindness so don’t second guess yourself. You are a catch too. Don’t forget that. A lot of people out there treat each other pretty Poorly. You are willing to put effort and work into her and the relationship and that says a lot about who YOU are as a partner and individual. Nothing wrong with that.
