If I was to give you a quick answer, it would be hormones. Now, that's not a great answer, but it sure does make sense.
What I will tell you besides that, is that we can become increasingly self-conscious around our partners or crushes, because of wanting to be noticed, or being scared of "messing up". With time, hopefully you won't be as nervous as you are right now, remember you also need time to get used to things. If it's been going on for a long time, then maybe you should express these feelings to him. Just an opinion, but might help

You could be nervous around your boyfriend for many reasons. Maybe you are intimidated y a relationship and what it means. I know their have been times where I would get anxious before hanging out with certain guys because I was afraid of doing something I wasn't comfortable with. Maybe you are afraid of intimacy or your boyfriends expectations. If not this it could be possible that your boyfriend makes you uncomfortable because of something he does,like pressing you. The first step to fixing the problem is to try and find the source. If anything it could just be the anxiousness associated with the beginning of a relationship and it can fade.

Hi! I think you are nervous around your boy friend because you are not confident about yourself in front of him. Your self esteem may drop in front of him if you think you are not enough for him. But this feeling must not be there in a good relationship. You must feel yourself freely in front of your significant other. Taking care of yourself can boost your confidence hopefully. You may also feel nervous around him because you are afraid of loosing him or past events with him might have been having a trauma since then! The reasons could vary from person to person, so think before you act anything! Have a great day!

although there isnt a certain answer for that, i can talk about personal experience. sometimes when you really love someone you want them to love you back, and looking at them, you may feel like theyre better than you, so you try to "impress" them or just get them to notice good things about you, you force yourself to do everything perfect, and that can make you feel nervous.

Nervousness or anxiety always comes from a place of consideration, it stems from caring too much. By being nervous it means you care too much about your boyfriend, perhaps what he thinks and feels, or perhaps you care too much about what may happen or what you may say or what you may appear to him. Nonetheless, you care about him, yourself, and overall this relationship, it's not bad to be nervous, it is bad when you let it grow out of control. Take some deep breaths and ask yourself what you care about and why then try to find the underlying reasons and confront them with a rational mind. For example, you care that your boyfriend might not think you're enough, so you confront it with the rational mind by thinking of course he finds me enough, I'm human and although I make mistakes and so does he, he understands that which is why we're okay together, despite whatever troubles we encounter or arguments we are still together because he doesn't think I'm enough instead he thinks I am more than enough and that he loves me for who I am. You're boyfriend or rather any worthy relationship is meant to be a place of comfort over time as you get more comfortable and confront this nervousness you should be comfortable with him but for now it's okay to be nervous you're still figuring things out and that's okay. Everything in life is about progression. So take some deep breaths and when able to think with a rational mind and open heart.

Relationships can cause a lot of anxiety. When a relationship is new there is so much that each person is learning about their partner. It is very normal to feel nervous around your boyfriend in the beginning. You are still learning who he is and how he reacts in a relationship. People are all different and come into relationships different. Being nervous just means that you are eager to make the relationship great. You want to learn all that you can to help make it successful. Push those nerves aside and figure out how you can make things strong in your relationship.

maybe because your expectations are way too high and rather being yourself, you keep trying to fit into the frame, your boyfriend expects you in to.

There are many reasons. It can be difficult to keep up with a relationship. Maybe you are nervous because you don't know him completely or you think he will leave you. Does that sound like what's going on?

If it's a new relationship in which you do not know each other so well, then it's probably because you love him so much and you're afraid of blowing it while with him. No one wants the person they love to think ill of them.

If there is no known reason to be nervous (i.e: signs of abuse) you may just have a love bug! Especially in new relationships, jitters from your significant other are often a sign you are still excited about your connection! :)

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?
