Hey /adv/, can you devise a plan of action around the following information?

I'm 24, out of college (chem major), currently unemployed and looking for work. I'm living with my brother in his living room and having shit luck. I took the JLPT this month and am strongly considering moving my job search to Japan depending on the results. My self worth is at an all time low and I don't exactly radiate confidence.

That said, I'm terribly lonely after having broken up with my girlfriend of six years a little over a year ago. As of late, I've been aimlessly flicking through Tinder, not really expecting anything; driven by a base, instinctual yearning for, let's not lie, sex and companionship. Last night a girl actually asked me out to a bar on New Year's, and said she thought I was handsome, and seemed awesome and nice. She herself is really cute. It's almost 24 hours later and I still haven't replied, because while this is something I want on some level, I question whether a relationship is a good idea when I'm unemployed, depressed and technically homeless, and furthermore if this girl would even be interested if she knew the full truth. Even if everything went perfectly I'd still probably feel like I didn't deserve it. "To love another you must first love yourself," right? But I'm so far down a hole I just don't even know. Compounded on top of everything is my moderate social anxiety that I can usually endure at the expense of acting naturally. And I literally haven't ever ingested alcohol, don't drink on principle and don't know my own tolerance. And again, I live with my brother. On one hand, it appears to be impending disaster, on the other, it's an opportunity to feel better about myself, in what I feel is a rather selfish pursuit.

tl;dr should I go out with a cute girl who approached me on Tinder even though I feel like and probably am a total loser
