(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Joe Manganiello is said to be "excited" to be dating again.

The actor is werewolf Alcide Herveaux in American vampire drama True Blood.

Joe got engaged to Audra Marie in October 2010 after 18 months together, but they split in September. The star is reportedly wasting no time when it comes to getting back on the dating scene, as he was recently spotted flirting with girls at a Hollywood party.

"He seemed excited to be back on the scene," a source told National Enquirer.

The party was in Los Angeles and earlier in the day the hunky actor spent time at a bar in Santa Monica. He was there to see his favourite American football team Pittsburgh Steelers play on television, but his eyes soon wandered from the screen.

"He loves football, but he was more into flirting. He had his arm around one girl, and others giggling at everything he said," an insider laughed. (C) Cover Media
