There are a million possibilities for this. However, ask yourself 'Do I feel safe with him?' if the answer is no to this question, perhaps he should not be your boyfriend.

Most likely because you are insecure about yourself. It happens a lot, so you aren't the only one.

You might be experiencing anxiety because of a variety of factors. Take a moment to reflect on when exactly you feel nervous, and see if you can find any patterns in your behaviour that might indicate what exactly makes you nervous. Is it something you wish to communicate to him, or something you feel one of you is holding back? Either way, take a deep breath and some time to calmly and peacefully reflect on what it is that's making you on edge.

Every relationship is different, just like very person is different. Feeling nervous around your boyfriend is very normal! Whether it is because you just love them so much, or because you are uncertain, that doesn't matter. The best thing to do is express this feeling towards your boyfriend, so he understands how you are feeling, and maybe even help you.

because you care. Because his opinion is important to you, you subconsciously get in your head which triggers a bunch of neurotransmitters to prance around in nervous anxiety when you feel they probably shouldn't. However, nervousness is normal, and it's really only aggravated when it's considered a problem. Don't think of it like that. The more time you give yourself to feel comfortable around him, the more likely it will be for you to see that feeling fade away. Trust that your body is providing you valid emotions, that need to be cherished themselves. It's more than okay to feel uneasy at times... For in my experience... most of human emotion is comprised of such. Good Luck.

I believe you are nervous around your boyfriend because your feelings towards him are getting stronger.

That's something that only you can answer. Has he done anything to you that you didn't like? Has he hurt you in any way? Are you just excited to see him? Do you fear him/what he is capable of?

Nervousness occurs usually when there is performance anxiety. Your Boyfriend is important to you and thus you are concerned about how he views you. Add to this is the common perception that we are never good enough, or that we do not deserve good things or that someone else may come and steal what we desire. Thus we want to look good in his eyes so that we can be treasured by him.

It's good to feel this way. A lover must be someone who challenge you, reflect who you really are, makes you feel like reaching out to be a better version of yourself. That's a good reason to be nervous =D
