A fear of intimacy means you experiences discomfort and difficulty in getting close to someone and letting others get to know who you truly are. It is a fear of getting both physically and emotionally close, which can of course make a romantic relationship difficult as you fear taking your relationship to the next level.
In order to get close with someone you must trust that person and feel comfortable with them knowing all of you, the good and bad parts of yourself. To be able to do this, you must first be able to understand and be comfortable with who you are. Unfortunately those that suffer from a fear of intimacy often struggle to accept and love themselves, and therefore they fear that no one can love them too.
Although people with a fear of intimacy often subconsciously push others away and avoid getting too close with people to begin with, it does not mean that they don't want to be loved or be in a loving romantic relationship, often they want nothing more than to be close with others, they just have something holding them back and don't know how to overcome it.
