That really depends. Is there something about yourself your insecure about? Is there something you're afraid she might do or realize? Are you afraid of not impressing her or letting her down? Are you worried her emotions will change without warning? The reasons really are endless with a question this broad. It may help you to chat with someone about these feelings or to write or journal about them to help yourself get a clearer idea of what you're feeling.

Being nervous around your partner or love interest is natural. It's natural to be nervous because you want to convey the best side of yourself to them. It shows your compassion towards them and the need to impress them. Nervousness will eventually reduce, the longer you are around one another, but accept it's a part of human emotion.

That's a pretty broad question. What kind of nervousness is it? It could be because you really like her and don't know how she feels about you. It could also be that you have trouble really connecting with your emotions or getting close to someone. It could even be that you don't really want to be in the relationship at all! Ultimately, you're the only one who can evaluate your own emotions and make that call. Then the next step, once you figure out why you feel the way you do, is deciding what you're going to do about it.

More than likely you are in nervous because, you are not sure how to act, be yoursel!!! Being yourself is priceless and people notice this authenticity, trust in the process and stay out of the results...:)

Anxiety changes thought patterns. It genuinely makes you feel as though there is something to worry about, even when you should not be worried, and for many people this can cause them significant amounts of distress.

It may be because your girlfriend/boyfriend is someone you care about what they think of you, and you might be feeling like you want to be "perfect". It could also be that you have strong feelings for this person!
Whatever it is, take a deep breath, remember she/he also wants to be accepted and may be nervous in some degree too. Try to build trust little by little sharing details about your day, your life, thoughts, etc. You could also lightly tell them something like " I still get a little nervous around you :)". Finally, it is norm to feel nervous around your significant other, specially when the relationship is new, but this doesn't mean it is a bad thing, or that you can't express or open up to her/him (in fact, the opposite is what might help you the most to get more comfortable!)

There are many reasons you could feel nervous around your girlfriend. A lot of it may relate to a sense of being judged -Are you good enough for her?- Does she love you as much as you love her?- Have you had much experience in dating relationships (new experiences can contribute to anxiety)- Are you feeling pushed by other people such as friends and family to like her or to enter into a longer term relationship and maybe marriage?. However these are just some possible reasons and if your relationship has healthy foundations or you would like to build them, then I would hope you could both talk about this and that might go some way to addressing your concerns.

Well this form of nervousness can be due to insecurity of some sort. Its would help to identify what some of these insecurities are (you fear she will judge your fashion sense) and then realize they are inconsequential to your relationship. Trust in the love is what I'd do.

If you are in a new relationship with your girlfriend, then it is normal to feel nervous. This may be due to the fact that you do not know her very well yet or may be because you just need time to grow comfortable around each other.

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?
