Why am I nervous around my girlfriend?

Because you have feelings for her and are scared of messing things up between you. Relax, there's nothing to worry about, she probably feels the same way too.

Usually, people get nervous around other people because they're afraid of making a fool of themselves in front of them. They want to be able to impress that person and it makes them feel less confident in their abilities because of their fear of messing up, which they would not have with someone whom they did not really care to impress.

Who can say-- perhaps you like-like her! (; Consider asking yourself this question, since you're likely to know far more about it than any of us.

It is very normal to feel nervous around your girlfriend. In fact part of what makes a crush or falling in love so wonderful is that feeling of butterflies in your stomach. Our bodies react to those we are growing to romantically care for with a burst of hormonal energy. A crush feels much like you are standing on the edge of a steep hill; all at once you feel invigorated yet at the same time fearful that you may fall over the ledge. It's perfectly normal to feel some anxiety around your girlfriend. Usually, knowing that it is normal will help you cope with the manageable levels of anxiety a crush/ budding relationship brings, but if you find the nervousness is interfering with the quality of your everyday life then I would suggest asking a professional counselor to help you adjust. Final thought: Enjoy young love while you can, because although the nervous butterflies can be a bit overwhelming it is a wonderful beautiful thing that lasts only briefly . Love burns brightly before it simmers down to a sense of lasting comfort that lacks the previous excitement of new love but is never the less is worth cultivating. Best Wishes, Starlight

Because you care about her and you do not to do anything wrong that might make her awkward. It could be that you have low self esteem as well. But the best thing to do is be yourself.

I understand your question. Could the reason be that you are nervous because you really like her and you don't wanna "blow" it. Just try to be yourself because she likes you just the way you are so don't be afraid.

You may be nervous because you love her and you are afraid of doing something silly and losing her.

I am nervous around my girlfriend probably because I don't feel confident of myself around her. It is possible that I am constantly comparing myself to her and in my mind I find it difficult to match up to her abilities or things that she has done. It could also be that she may be dissatisfied with me for whatever reason and is sending out that vibe and probably I am afraid to lose her which makes me nervous. Nervousness could also be due to my innate desire to impress her and keep her engaged all the time. I might be looking at external factors to do that and when I run out of external aids it makes me nervous. Maybe I have not been honest around her. Maybe I am keeping up with pretenses and this makes me nervous because I am probably terrified that she may not love the real me.

If you're nervous around somebody it usually means you really like them, it's completely natural to feel uneasy around people you care about because you want to make a good impression, however try not to dwell on it too much because that can worsen your anxiety, after you've known someone for a while you should become more easy around them.

Thoughts and feelings do not come and go as we wish..but sometimes we can help a little :) if you get shy or nervous,taking lots of fresh air and exercise can really calm you down..it works for me :)
