If you want to practice you social skills, join a bridge club. Most of the members are not modern geeks, but there is a built in conversation starter (the game) and you can get the hang of being in a social situation without the pressure of people that you want to impress. Bridge is a massively multi player game, just not online. You can supplement real life games with online play. All the bridge players are likely to have daughter / granddaughters that they can introduce you to.
Also do not forget your family. Start spending more time with parents, aunts and the like. You will not be tempted to try and hit on them. Only after you can hang out comfortably in non-dating situations should you try dating situations. If you are lucky you will find many fun people to spend time with, then when a girl geek comes along you will not suffocate her and expect her to be you be all and and all.
I'm am definitely sceptical. I live in Bahrain and it is about three times the size of Washington DC. I think I would have heard of this. I do not see an exact location in the story. If I can find one I will go check it out.
