Why am I nervous around my girlfriend?

Because you like her! You want to impress her and always look and act your best around her, it's only natural to feel nervous. It shows that she's really important to you!

Sounds like you like her a lot! There's no reason to be nervous around her. She's with you because she likes you too, so don't worry about having to impress her because you already did!

I can't speak for you, but when I've dated a girl and I feel nervous it is usually because I can't tell what she's thinking. I want her to like me, but I don't want to appear needy. It can be very hard to attract and keep someone's interest!

A possible reason for being nervous around your girlfriend is perhaps you are not being 100% your true self. When in relationships, sometimes people tend to put their best version of themselves forward. They can try to make it seem as if they do not have flaws. This can make you nervous because it is like you are hiding a part of yourself and you are afraid what their reaction will be when they discover it. Try to be your true self- flaws and all. Remember they are a flawed human too. We all are.

It could depend on a lot of things, but one reason could be that you haven't been with her for very long so you are still getting to know her/aren't completely comfortable around each other yet

There are many reasons why you could be feeling nervous around her. One of the main reasons is guilt, maybe there is something on your conscious that is causing discomfort whenever she is around you. If it's not guilt it could be the fear of being judged or the insecurity of her leaving you or deciding she doesn't want to me with you. A fourth reason is that maybe it's not even nerves, you're mistaking the feeling and it's actually butterflies and excitement, cheesy but super common.

Are you both new on the relationship? Maybe you just don't want to embarrassed yourself in front of her.

You're afraid she'll be noticing the little things about you, from your physical features to the way you act around her. But if she really cares about you, she'll embrace everything that makes you, well, you! If you're nervous, you're probably scared something bad will happen between you two or the relationship, or your self-confidence and self-esteem may be low. Go ahead and talk to her if your nervousness affects your relationship in a negative way. If she cares about you, she'll understand and you'll have no reason to be nervous around her anymore.

There are SO many reasons to be nervous around a girlfriend! Some are fairly common but others might be signals suggesting further consideration. Here are some possibilities: (1) General sexual tension: I want more and she doesn't, or she wants go further than I do, or we both want more but have reasons to refrain. (That seems fairly normal to me, and the two of you can probably figure it out over time.) (2) I'm afraid she won't like me if she gets to know the real me. (Hmmm, could be some lack of confidence in your own wonderfulness, something to work on perhaps?) (3) I'm afraid she's going to get mad at me again if I keep screwing up. (Mmm, does she get angry often? if yes, this may say a LOT about her, much more than it says about you.); (4) I'm afraid she'll criticize me or make fun of me. (Geez, if she criticizes, judges and mocks a lot, perhaps some rethinking of the relationship might be good, but, hmmm, also consider whether you're extra-sensitive, a possibility to discuss with a 7 Cups Listener perhaps); (5) I'm afraid she's going to leave me. (This is a tough one, as you may reading the signs correctly that she's no longer in love, but maybe you have a heightened fear of rejection and abandonment? so it's a good idea to talk with a listener or other objective person); (6) I started dating her very recently and we don't know each other well. (If it's early days, a little nervousness is expectable as you become more familiar with each other--give it some time and then re-assess). For me, a test of a great relationship is that the other person makes me feel so good about myself! When I walk away, I'm not just thinking what a great person they are, I'm feeling more confident and better looking all around! :) If a girlfriend has been with you for a while, and you're still nervous around her, ask yourself whether she's truly good for you. When we develop real love, the other person makes us feel safe and warm and happy.

You could feel nervous around your girlfriend for a lot of reasons. I can't say exactly why, as I dont know the situation you are in, but a solution could be telling her. Talking to her about it and come up with a solution together. Good luck :)
