Confusing talks to approach with care (5)

I believe the answer is:

stalk

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'approach with care' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'confusing talks' is the wordplay.
'confusing' is an anagram indicator.
'talks' with letters rearranged gives 'STALK'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
