There are many reasons why one could be nervous around one's girlfriend! You could be feeling some anxiety due to the fact that you don't want to say all the right things and do the right things. It's important to remember that everyone is human and she's not expecting you to be a perfect superhuman!

Are you worried about making a mistake? Are you worried she might no longer like you if you do something? You could be nervous just because you like her and are unsure how to go forward in your relationship with her. You could be nervous because of a lot of things, see how you react to her, when you do, and ask why. Are you nervous before you see her? Are you only nervous around her, or when you'r speaking with her? Do you remain nervous afterwards?

It could just be the nerves from the start of a new relationship. Or if you've been together for a while (6+ months), it's possible something one of you do makes you feel uncomfortable and you should think about it. Look into it. Also, try to relax. she's with you because she wants to be, and as long as you want to be with her, it'll all be okay :)

That depends on your feelings in consideration with her feelings as well as your environment. Communication is key; talk is out.

You may be in a constant state of worry that she may not appreciate the things you do. Even simple things like holding her hand may be difficult due to being worried that she might not like it.

With my experience you are probably nervous around your girlfriend because you feel like you need to be "perfect" you might be scared that she isn't gonna like you for you. You just need to calm down and trust that she loves you.

If you are new to dating or very young; then this is normal you are most likely worried about mistakes you might make with her and trying to be someone you arent to please her etc always be yourself Be respectful polite and honest and take your time When the nerves go then that probably means its going well, Most women just want the security of knowing you are being yourself: honest caring and thoughtful.. Don't think too hard about it just be natural not fake! .

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?
