Well maybe because you love her and stuff or you are hiding a secret from her or you are just like that

I got totally nervous around my boyfriend! The reason was for me, is that he literally gives me butterflies every time I see him; I can barely looking into his eyes with out feeling like my chest had/has gone a flutter. But it'll pass, I promise! Eventually you'll learn this girl is a person too and that you can feel comfortable around her and talk about the wildest things. Wish you the best! :)

I think you could just be worried about your appearance in front of her. What she will think. Thats perfectly okay so long as you stay who you really are and she likes you for you. Not someone you're pretending to be!

It may be performance anxiety. Feeling nervous around a person whose opinions and feelings matter strongly to you may be from the fear of disappointing them or hurting their feelings from making a mistake. If it's because you are afraid for your safety, or from receiving verbal or psychological attacks, perhaps it's time to reconsider the relationship.

I used to think that I was nervous around my boyfriend, but then I focused on my emotions. I actually discovered that I was mistaking nervous for excitement because they both have the same physiological response!

Maybe you feel you need to impress her so it causes you to be nervous around her because you really like her and do not want to mess up around her.

Relationships can make any one feel nervous. Caring so much about one another is a positive thing! It's good to be nervous sometimes, showing how much you care for one another.

Try to establish if you feel good enough for her. Has she done anything to harm you or make your self worth go down? Maybe you just really like her and really appreciate how she sees you.

It's normal to get nervous around the people you care about! You're always focused on making a good impression, just try to remember she's your girlfriend because she likes you - quirks and all!

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
