Good to see you posting here, as (I hope) these folks may be better able to see the nuances of your sitch and advice more appropriately due their similarities.
Its all about the R, JM.
And a R requires open communication. Timing, wording, emotion modulation are all important, but i'd imagine that you'll both want to get to a place where those worries/concerns can be voiced and worked thru. Speaking of imagining, think about how you might appear to her when you DON'T communicate those things, and perhaps seem quieter, a bit tense, or at least not as loose or playful as at other times. She is then left to explain your stance/beh on her own - a sitch ripe for many wrong interpretations.
My ill-informed advice? : Loads of self-care to stay loose (this could include her, but by doing things that you enjoy with her along, relaxing and just enjoying the here-and-now), being in the moment to create a new history with her, and revisiting this new history for data that you both can use to alter/adjust your behs as you move in a successful direction.
