Okay ladies I need advice!!!!

Okay ladies so me and my boyfriend have been together almost 7 months and we also dated back in high school (8 years ago). Since we have been back together he makes me so nervous in bed (in a good way) and iv only been on top during sex maybe twice. He tells me all the time he wants me to stop being so shy and for me to start things. I can literally think about all the things I could do to him to get him in the mood but when it comes down to it I get nervous and just wait for him to start touching me and stuff. Ugh How do I get over the fear of starting things??
