First time jitters - how to handle

As a new member I have been posting and replying here for things to happen. Today a husband of a couple exchanged friendly encouraging inviting message. After several messages I said to him that I am new comer and nervous about it. He replied that is stroking right now and bye. I need to get rid of the jitteriness. May be your input could induce courage in me to make the move to meet them. Preaching is one thing and practicing is another thing!!! Thanks.
