I am very talkative, funny, and laid back around my friends, but when me and him are together (alone, or even me+him+his/my friends), I become weirdly quite and awkward, leaving the poor guy doing all the talking. I honestly don't know why and how that happens, and I really hate myself for that, since I'm starting to suspect that he might be thinking that I don't like him much or something... :( Any suggestions?

 Maybe you just aren't ready to have a boyfriend and its too much pressure. If you can't be yourself, then break up with him, and date someone when you are ready. There is nothing wrong with waiting!

I would say prepare a few subjects/topics before your date that might come up - such as school, family, interests etc and think about what you would like to say about them. Also, another way to show you are interested and to get over your shyness is to ask open questions e.g. how, why, etc. But at the end of the day he is your first boyfriend and you have only been going on a month - perhaps you just need more time and practice :)
