You are nervous because you haven't been together for very long. Before you got together you were probably nervous as well, because you wanted to make a good impression on her so that she would like you. Now you are still insecure that she likes you as much as you like her. You still want to make a good impression and not screw up. You should just relax, she probably likes you as well and everything will go well. :)
Of course this was all based on a lot of assumptions because I don't know you or your girlfriend. For all that I know you could be nervous because she is a serial killer and you don't dare to break up with her in fear that she'd kill you.

This is usually a normal thing. This could actually be a good sign that you have real feelings for her and don't want to make yourself look "stupid" or "mess up" while you are near her. This should give off the butterflies in the stomach feeling. However just make sure to trust your senses and realize if that feeling becomes deeper cause if you don't start to feel comfortable around her eventually you might not be able to enjoy yourself.

If it's early in the relationship, it's probably because it's the honeymoon period still and you want to impress her so you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself. If it's not early days, then it could be a case of developing an insecurity in which you feel you're not good enough for her or something like that. It may help to talk to your girlfriend about how you're feeling.

Possibly because you might be feeling judged or criticize around her or it just be you might feel like you are going to say the wrong thing, just remember that your significant other will (in many cases) accept you for yourself, don't try to be someone your not. Try to keep a note in your mind saying she loves you for you.

I feel that nervousness around romantic partners is completely normal. Even after me and my girlfriend had been together for months and things were going well, I still found myself feeling nervous, awkward and unsure around her. Personally, I think it was just because we were still figuring out each other's limits and boundaries, which might have gone much faster if we'd discussed them, rather than trying to find them over time

Probably because she excites you. It's completely normal to feel that way, especially in the beginning of a serious relationship.

Good question! There could be numerous reasons for being nervous around your partner. Is the relationship new? Are you so excited when you're around her that you feel nervous? Do you feel you have to hide who you are around her? Are you afraid of rejection? The best answer I could give you would be to explore yourself! Try to analyze any reasons you feel that way. It could just be the normal nervousness one feels when entering a new relationship, or there could be deeper reasons. Writing things down helps to clear your mind of confusions a lot of the times. I hope this answer was helpful! Best of luck.

It's most likely just regular shyness. The majority of people usually get nervous when they're shy.

Perhaps it's because you like her. You like her so much, you feel like your not good enough. But that's not true.

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?
