Not quite crash and burn

In the last three weeks, my fiance/girlfriend of the last seven years dumped me, I've temporarily moved to my parent's house until she moves to California and my cat's gone nuts.
Considering all that, I'm doing pretty good.
So good in fact that I tried to get back in the old dating saddle again. Granted I feel like I'm 15 and I have temporarily lost what little social acumen I have. But even attempting to start dating again, to me, is a pretty cool.
There was a cute girl at work. Thanks to some basic googling I found she has a lot of the same interests as I do. I had another co-worker find me a mole from which to get info. I'm feeling good, thinking this might actually work out.
Then.... my mole gets back to me. Cute Girl has a boyfriend already. Apparently, it's pretty serious.
Oh well.
At least I didn't have to ask and then get shot down. And.... I personally didn't get shot down. She already had a boyfriend. She's not rejecting me. She's stating the circumstances. Not too shabby. I turned a loss into a win. I think...
So watch out cute girls who are at least a little bit nerdy.. I'm free and I'm apparently crazy enough to ask people out on dates again. (Do people even date anymore? what's this "hooking up" thing I've heard so much about on the interwebs? kidding) The world may never be the same.
