I'm confused about my life?

i have been called ugly and dumb all my life and all of a sudden there are guys who call me pretty and say that they like me. there might have been one or two boys who liked me in school but now i'm sort of terrified by the onslaught of guys.maybe i'm supposed to enjoy this but this is turning out to be terrifying more than pleasurable because i have never been in the limelight for this before.i have always seemed to be a more tomboyish character who has been in control of situations but this is beyond me! HELP!!!!
