It could be because you love him. Don't worry, those nerves are normal and will probably go away after a while but not ever completely but just to the point where you won't recognize it anymore.

Being nervous around your boyfriend is ok in some situations, but if you're afraid for your safety contact someone! If you are feeling like someone will hurt your mentally of physically there could be an issue!

Do you feel any pressure to somehow please your boyfriend whenever you're around him, that you may not feel comfortable with? You could address some questions to yourself on what it may be, whether that being if you feel like he has any expectations and/or if something has happened which has made you feel like you're not on the same page. Hope this helps.

This could be anything. It could be your feelings towards him make you react in a nervous manner. If I were you, I'd record how I feel around him and see if it's positive or negative nerves.

If the relationship is still fresh I guess it's pretty normal to feel nervous, above all because we all want to make a good impression and make things work properly + those first butterflies that come with love can get us pretty emotional. If this happens for a while now the reason might more or less be the same with some variations in intensity and direction, but there's also the possibility of him being a bit too demanding or critical and making you thus feel like you "need" to give more.

You might be nervous around your boyfriend as you are insecure or you've done something wrong and you feel guilty.

if it's a new relationship it's just butterflies, it's normal. If it has been a while since you guys have been dating then it may mean that you feel intimidated by him and maybe he expects you to behave in a certain manner, so hence.

There may be an underlying issue here.. are you usually a nervous person? Are you nervous around men in particular? Is he an angry person? Has he been violent towards anyone before? There is many questions and theories as to why you're nervous around him but this is something you should talk about with him to solve together.

Awww, baby he is your boyfriend it's usually a stage but best believe it'll pass and the time to get all mushy and comfortable around him will come.

Do you think that it's more an issue of trust, or one of self-esteem? Perhaps, you are nervous around your boyfriend because you are afraid of being judged for opening up to him and for being emotionally vulnerable. That is understandable, especially if you have, in the past, been hurt/criticized in previous relationships. Overtime, you may find that, as you get to know your boyfriend, you are able to trust him and become more confident being your true self around him. Only you know your situation better than we do, though!
