It's the pressure of wanting his approval! You might feel like you need to maintain his liking you, and that makes you nervous because it's scary valuing someone's approval! However well you get on and however comfortable you are, it might be that you feel like you need him to like you and think you're funny, or smart or whatever it is. Obviously he does like you thought, so there's really no need to worry at all. Think about the you that you are with your closest friend, which is usually the most relaxed you that doesn't feel the need to try as hard, so just try and be this you with your boyfriend.

If you don't feel comfortable, there could be many reasons as to why you feel nervous around your boyfriend. Some people could be nervous because they do not have anything in common. Others could be nervous because they do not feel like they fit in with their boyfriend's friends or family. A solution to this would be to talk to him about your feelings and as to why you are feeling this way. Also, you might want to consider taking a break from the relationship if you start feel too uncomfortable. Please talk to him and i hope everything is okay!

awww This is a sweet question. You are most likely nervous around your boyfriend because you really like him. If this is the beginning of the relationship you experience a lot of happiness and gittyness around him. It's perfectly okay to feel like this and it's normal too. It is refered to as the honeymoon stage of a relationship and my best advice is enjoy it while it lasts. Have fun and relax. I'll add a note though if you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around this person then that is a completely different feeling and needs further exploration. I hope this helps you a little bit.

I personally think that you aren't comfortable with him. Or you feel something might happen between you guys. Also your brain could be telling you he is a bad person even though he isnt. There are many things that could be triggering that to happen. The thing I personally think that is happening is you may not be comfortable yet. But that's just my idea. It could be anything, you know what you are thinking and your opinion matters. I hope you have a great day, and things aren't as weird between you and your boyfriend. I hope I helped in some sort of way. From Evie.

well it depends on whats going on concerning your boyfriend. one important thing to note is that there are many entities that ride the bodies of what we call "human". There are narcissist, borderline, emotional predators, emotional parasites, proxies, genuine people with low perception (who could become proxies), genuine people who see truth clearly (like minded). this is why it is so important to have CLEAR PERCEPTION and to be able to JUDGE clearly. so that we know whom we are dealing with. many entities would try to distort your perception to prevent you from developing the skills needed to put yourself in the right environments. where you wouldnt need to feel nervous. you didnt give many details on the matter so i comments based on what i thought you might be talking about. thanks

If you are new to romance then it could just be fear of the unknown. Otherwise, you are probably afraid of rejection and/or abandonment. Romantic relationships have a way of triggering various psychological complexes that have grown over time. One of these powerful complexes is the one that talks/thinks about romantic relationships. A powerful yearning to be with your boyfriend will result in powerful fear of losing him and the relationship. We definitely don't want our complexes to create unnecessary drama in the relationship. So the best thing to do is try to be aware of the nervousness when it arises. "Surrender" your attention to those feelings of fear, and your mind will be better able to decide if any of that fear is warranted in your current relationship. You may also want to tell your bf about your feelings of nervousness. Good luck!

There are four main reason to be nervous.
1. He is having certain expectation from the relationship. so you feel he is judging your every move and every behavior of yours. So the nervousness.
2. until and unless you become familiar with your boy friend. you feel meeting is always new exploration. Exploration is always has unknown factor. so this unknown factor brings in the nervousness.
3. where anyone and everyone face the change. The change will bring in the nervous feelings.
4 some time you may not be "what you are' when you boy friend around. You may tend mask your true feelings and may act like being happy or sad. While acting you also feel that other person may recognize your true feelings. so you feel nervous due to this.

I think we can become nervous or anxious around our significant others due too insecurities. the things that bother us or make up look at ourselves differently we think that our partner may look like us that way. I personally am very nervous around my partner, I think its because I hold them way higher up than I see my self.
Another answer would be because we don't trust our partner and or are uncomfortable around them. Which could use some communication, and honesty. Learning to be more self loving and confident can help improve a relationship or nervousness around a partner.

Perhaps this is a new relationship whenever you are both getting to know one another. This time can be exciting but also nervous, especially if you like him and do not want to mess it up. Another theory could be that his behaviour warrants you to be nervous. Has he gave you reason to be nervous? For instance is his behaviour unpredicable and explosive and you are on edge not knowing what is coming next. Or maybe you have had a bad relationship previously which you are holding onto scars from which is making you nervous around your current boyfriend.

Maybe it is a new relationship? Maybe life has taught you to be submissive or hide your true self? Maybe you have an unresolved conflict with each other? I hope you feel better soon and work out the reason why. Perhaps therapy or journaling could help you find the reasons why. Or some experiential exercises. I wish you well and hope the relationship goes well but if not future relationships do. I hope one day you do not feel nervous and can be yourself at all times, as life is too short to censor yourself or to overthink
