You say "this newsgroup", but you are posting to four of them.
It is customary to mention crossposting when doing so.
(This reply is also crossposted to the same groups)

It is also customary to read a group for a bit before posting there.

As for the rest:

Find out why you avoid gay people and you might grow from the
experience.

Yes.  Getting together with a new partner is a scary experience.
Being afraid is normal, especially if you have bad experiences in the
past.  Not knowing how to behave near her is normal.  Being confused
is _very_ normal.  :-)

Do not insist on _anything_.  Ask.  Politely.

For the first time:  I don't know.
Later:  When you can say it with _feeling_.

It is called "falling in love", David... it happens to most people.

Well, what did you do before?

Most of the time, these things work out.  Chances are she is feeling
much as you do, scared but willing to go on.  When both of you want
the same thing, what could possibly go wrong?

Good Luck!
