More questions about taming lovebirds

So I have officially started trying to train my lovie. He's not liking it at all. He used to be very cute and fluffy 24/7 and now his feathers are flat alot and he's nervous more often. I'm not sure if I'm doing this the right way or not. He's just so scared of my hands, but not very scared of me. Sometimes when he's out he'll come see me, but as soon as I move my hands he runs away. When I train him, I take him to a corner that has nothing in it and try to get him to step up, and he just won't. Sometimes he bites me, not in an aggressive way because I barely feel anything, but I can tell that it's not in a good way either. He will eat out of my hand, even though he is a little nervous about it, but he will not step up on it unless I have food.

Should I be doing something different? Also I never touch him while he's in the cage. Only when he's out.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, I know it's wayy too early for him to trust me (I've only had him a week) but since I started these exercises, he's been nervous and it breaks my heart. I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

Please, any tips are very much appreciated. Thanks :)
