If you're staring at a target long enough for your opponent to find out what you are looking at - you are not fighting, you're sizing up.

It sounds a bit like part of your problem is your attitude towards your own ability - your Sensei has probably paired you off with your nightmare because he is the only one who can challenge you/you are the only one who can challenge him.

Walk your talk - please walk your talk

keep fighting! i cant give you any specific tips but the longer you spar the better you will get! if this guy is a challenge then thats all the better!

you may freely give up your life, but never lose your honour

2 thigs, : dont let yourself be intimidated by rank or past experinces, that way, you dont lose before the fight starts.

2.try moving in response to his hits- learn good counter moves to do a split second after he starts to try to hit you.

Also, bring your training up a notch. lots of endurance training.

no substitute for epxerience..... but failing that the advice is all good, dont stare at one plac too long, and try and look for a pattern in how they move.

or make it harder for them-learn to change the pattern in which u move; if u get too predictable, they appear to be faster but in reality they're just responding better to ur pattern of movement.

also - look for things that telegraph your moves.... maybe you grit your teeth slightly before you attack, etc.

then try to stop doing them
