Aww, G, I'm sorry you didn't get the job, but this may have happened for a reason. I like your idea of referring people to the new manager - sounds like you've been doing too much and it IS their job, after all.
Here's hoping the second date goes well! I'm always a little worried that people who have "just moved to the area" in online dating may be hiding a wife somewhere back home, so do you due diligence in online snooping. Here's hoping he's all he seems to be and the chemistry continues to be good.
