Questions: Dating

I've become a bit withdrawn over the past few years and gained some weight. I want to lose about 50 pounds. I don't feel like I'm supposed to be dating until I can achieve that. Should I wait?

I feel like when people figure this out about me they get weirded out even if it's just a casual conversation

Just curious.. I personally am a nerdy guy, and i married a nerdy girl.. So thats where my vote stands.
