As a guy I felt the same all throughout high school and college. I've learned that it's just hard interacting with anyone that's part of a demographic that you don't normally associate with. Or maybe that's just my own personal experience. Either way I've been able to get over this nervousness or fear by simply talking with the women in my life more and including them on things that I'd normally just do with my friends. Like inviting my sister, cousins, etc to just do things and they can bring their friends too if they want. The more you associate with that demographic, the more comfortable you feel.
