Are you afraid of what'll happen if you say something "wrong", or do something "stupid"? Have you ever messed up in front of your girlfriend before? The more it happens, trust me, the easier it becomes to loosen up. Once you learn your girlfriend truly loves and cares for you, then you'll be less afraid of what happens in front of her. If this doesn't seem like the reason for being nervous, try to pinpoint what it is, and maybe even talk to her about it. I know it's hard, but it'll be worth it.

When in a relationship, I find open and honest communication, both with yourself and with your partner the best way to get to the root of a problem,

Perhaps you feel like you still have to impress her in some way, and so that every move you make is under scrutiny. Depending on whether or not this is a new relationship; that can be a blessing and a curse. Hopefully a level of comfort is reached at some point.

A lot of people get nervous around the one they admire and spend a lot of time with. Some people experience a little anxiety at times as well when becoming nervous.

I think that might just be you being hopelessly in love with her. It also depends on the type of nervousness. Are you scared of her or are you anxious?

I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling nervous around your girlfriend. It's important to reflect on the experiences you and her have gone through. What kind of nervousness are you feeling? Is it negative, or positive? Does it make you feel like you want to stay around her or run away? It can help to think of these things. Another thing that might be useful to take note of is that one scientific study shows people can confuse fear with attraction and attraction with fear. This biopsychological phenomenon is very powerful. It may not be what's going on with you, but the whole point is that anything can be a possible answer to why you are feeling nervous. Only you can answer this for yourself. After all, you know you more than I do! :) What do you think? How do you think you could approach this situation so that you can self-evaluate and try to make sense of what's getting you nervous? I hope this helps in some way. You deserve the best; everyone deserves the best.
