there could be several reason for it ... is it shyness that makes you nervous ? or the fear of doing something wrong... the fear of losing him... the fear of being judged... or a mix of some reasons ...

Perhaps he puts pressure on you or you don't feel comfortable around him. It's important to know that you do not have to be perfect around your partner, just be yourself!

Because you probably like so much you're worried about how you're acting around him and what he will think.

Because his acceptance is important to you so you want things to be "just right" that add to the sense of nervousness

I felt the same way for a while. I know what you are going through. The best way to get through it is to realize they like you for who you are and you are allowed to be yourself!

You are possibly afraid he will leave you, maybe you fear being alone, it's possible that you have had some bad experiences in the past and it's always in the back of your mind.

Because you like him! Depending on what type of nervous it is, you could be nervous around him because you don't want to make a bad move and risk your relationship.

Nervousness around a partner usually stems from a place of insecurity and lack of connection or openness between the people. You may feel that you will do something wrong to lose his love, or that you don't feel safe to be your true self.

There are many reasons you could feel anxious around your significant other. perhaps they have said something to make you doubt yourself, or perhaps there is something in the back of your mind causing these feelings to arise subconciously. Maybe you feel so strongly for him that you are unsure how to interpret these emotions, so they are coming out in an anxious feeling.
