<p>We have a new pharmacist who just relocated to the area to be near her parents. She is just adorable. She’s smart, she’s efficient,she’s funny as can be. I can SO see trying to arrange an introduction to my oldest son. I think she’s just great. Have you ever set up one of your kids like this? I KNOW I shouldn’t probably but I can really see them hitting it off.</p>
<p>Send your son in to pick up your prescriptions…or vitamins…or for advice on a new product. Anything. Just send him in! </p>
<p>Shoot. I would do it. Just whistle and keep your eyes and ears peeled. ;)</p>
<p>^^^ that’s exactly what I was thinking!</p>
<p>This is not only acceptable in many cultures, it’s encouraged. Sometimes I wish it was more acceptable here to allow these introductions. As long as we keep out of the people’s choice to pursue the relationship, or not, after meeting, I don’t see a problem in an introduction. Send your son to pick up your prescriptions, and then its up to him. 
</p>
<p>Well, if it’s anything like our pharmacy here, there may be half a dozen people – some of them pharmacists – behind the counter, and anyone of them will help whoever comes in next. It’s not foolproof.</p>
<p>Former football player Jason Sehorn’s mom met Angie Harmon and thought they should meet. Worked for them. Be casual about it and don’t comment if it doesn’t go anywhere. </p>
<p>Oh, we are hospital pharmacists. No sending him in for prescriptions. LOL.</p>
<p>So you and the new pharmacist work together? Do you ever go to lunch together, or if you haven’t so far would it be possible? If so, why not ask your son to join you? Also, if she’s new to the area (you said her parents are near, but I don’t know if you mean the same town or within an hour’s drive), that might be an excuse to invite her to a casual party such as a weekend BBQ at your home to meet more people. If the guest list is a mix of co-workers and your friends/neighbors of varying ages then the intent shouldn’t be too obvious.</p>
<p>Just keep in mind that things might not work out as you hope. The one time dh & I tried to play matchmaker for a brother, he asked out the roommate of the person we thought was perfect for him. By the time they broke up a year later, the woman we’d hoped he would fall for had just become engaged. sigh…</p>
<p>Show her your family–a pix of your son and tell her a bit (brag) about him. See what she says–she might want to meet him. A lot of young women aren’t afraid to make the first move.</p>
<p>Agree with a casual lunch. Maybe have lunch with just the two of you and then another lunch a bit later that your have S come to, so he can talk about what young folks do for fun in town. Let the two young folks take it from there.</p>
<p>No suggestions, but I had to google to find out what WDYT means. 
I am so out of touch. I did sign up for a new phone contract last week including unlimited texting. I guess I should do more texting (which I have never done). </p>
<p>@sym- thanks for the suggestion to google WDYT. I was perplexed as well. I text a lot, and have never seen it. So glad to learn a new acronym. </p>
<p>So what does WDYT mean? I am assuming “what do you think?”.</p>
<p>With regard to the OP; if facilitating is ok, is the opposite as well? </p>
<p>Not that I would do either.</p>
<p>I had a client who volunteered at local hospital. She really liked the young woman she “worked” for. She spoke to said woman about her son and then had son drop by or call her (I forget which). They are now married with 3 children. </p>
<p>My dad, a professor, casually mentioned he thought I should meet this nice graduate student who was coming down to Texas and would be my classmate (Dad got him a research assistantship so he could attend UT). I remember rolling my eyes (mentally). Sure, Dad, whatever. Huh, Father Knows Best, and I was engaged to that nice student within four months.</p>
<p>Love the success stories!!</p>
