I’ve lost 50 lbs. and I’m actually attracting girls for the first time in my life. Need advice on handling the nerves. M27

So earlier this year I got out of a 4 year relationship.

The breakup wore me out in all forms. During the relationship I gained so much weight, lost close connections, forgot how to talk to strangers, etc. I made a promise to myself that I was getting into a better state of mind both physically and mentally. I am 5’8 and was 210 LBS. It was bad. Daily task were difficult at certain time.

I lost 50 pounds and I feel amazing. The intention was to never get in shape for anyone else but myself. But I guess the attention was a byproduct.

I went out for the first time in months and I had a women willingly talk and even tried getting me a drink. I didn’t know how to react. It was awkward and I sorta blew it because my nerves got to me. This attention is new to me and I need some advice on how to handle it.

TL; DR: Lost weight, now I’m getting attention. How do I handle the nerves?
