hey, if he really understands you, would it be a good idea to tell him that you are becoming nervous around him, but that it doesnt mean you dont like him. Maybe just telling him this would make you less nervous :)

I tend to doubt my friendships ... I might have a good friend and if I don't see them for a certain length of time I feel nervous to hang out with them again ... like they won't like hanging out with me and I will just be a bother ... like they are only doing me a favor.

I can understand your feeling. I feel this way too when I like someone. I think what is happening is we are afraid that something could happen, we might ruin it and experience loss, there is just a lot of fear with this because when you like someone it can hurt if they don't like you back. I think talking about it with the person would be good. Most likely the person will be understanding, you need to work up the courage to do this. If they don't seem understanding then maybe there is no loss, then again there is a loss but if they are not understanding it wouldn't be good for you to be with them so I would put it out on the table.
