I was surprised he got his dream girl relatively quickly and easily. S2 Nate would have spit and tried a bunch of bar bro pickup lines, get rejected and then vengefully use the restaurant owner’s fandom to get her fired. I can’t pinpoint exactly what caused him to lose the attitude he had previously built up to.

Yeah, the reason that I haven't bought into Nate's redemption arc is i doesn't seem hard-won. Turning away from that toxicity isn't something you can generally do on your own in a short time with a little bit of introspection... especially when your fortunes kinda justify the feeling of entitlement that got you to that point.
