When girls complement you only once your out...

Do any other recently out gay guys notice that girls they're friends with suddenly feel that it's ok to complement them, but never before coming out?I'm recently out. Never planned on doing a whole I'm out FB post thing, but I went to my first NYC pride today and posted photos. Later on I went to a party and I got a "now that your out I can tell you that you [insert compliment here]" And not just complements. Touching in both directions and dancing with girls is more acceptable.I find it offensive, mainly because I have really low self-esteem. I never thought that I was attractive and I find myself caught up in thinking: "Is it just because I'm out and they think it's cute or am I actually attractive?" So it's creepy to touch and dance before, but now I'm a different person and it's alright...?
