As always, it depends upon the situation, but in my personal experience, I've found it's been a lot about the desire to appear perfect to a person, or the desire to never do anything wrong. Maybe it's because he wants to take the relationship to the next level and you're not ready, or maybe it's just because you don't have a whole lot of "experience" with the whole relationship thing. It differs for everyone, but in my experience I've found that it's totally normal to be nervous around your boyfriend at least in the beginning - provided that there's nothing negative going on in the relationship.

Relationships are all about exploring and getting comfortable with your partner so its okay to be nervous, especially during new experiences. Over time and with prolonged contact, the nervousness might fade

The reason why I'm so nervous around my boyfriend may be simply because of the fact that whether he likes having me around or not. The question of what if I don't look good in front of my boyfriend and his friends or what if I can't please his best friends comes into foray.

Maybe you don't know enough about him yet, do something fun together where you can ask questions and get to know each other! Have a water fight, ice cakes. Relationships aren't as intimidating when you are both on the same page. xx

I have never had a boyfriend but I can relate to the feeling as related to my girlfriend. For me it is, at it's root, being unsure of myself or of acting in a way or saying something that may cause her to have a negative opinion of me.

What are the factors that make you nervous? Consider it first, is it cause you are worried about how he sees you or perhaps you think he will judge you? Find those factors and then try to overcome it by talking to him. Hes your boyfriend, girl. He will definitely help you out.

Maybe you feel like he doesn't love you? Or you feel like you might mess up. Or do something that will embarrass yourself. Try to take a deep breath and tell yourself that everything will be okay.

aww.honey! there is nothing wrong in being nervous around your boyfriend. it happens with many of us. initially, we feel shy and self-conscious so we become nervous, if the nervousness persists, you may do a little self evaluation and try and understand what makes you nervous around him. does sharing make you nervous? or is a fear of him judging you in a wrong manner? try and think of situations where you've been super nervous, and ponder what triggers it. i hope this helped.:)
