In which it looks like my brother is going to break up with Nicole, the girlfriend we met a few months ago and LOVED and my heart is breaking

I know I can't expect my brother to marry Nicole just because I like her so much and my sister and my brother in law like her so much and Primo likes her so much.

I can't. Right?

And whomever my brother would marry would be lovely by definition so it's not like she is his only chance to find someone great.

But I really, really like her.

She is neat.

You guys. Would it be wrong for me to introduce her to a college friend who lives in Austin? I would introduce them under the guise of professional connections. My friend is an engineer but his hobby is parks and wildlife and outdoors and all the stuff Nicole does as a job. J has even written a book about flooding in Texas and it was published. (Sooooo proud of my friends!)

J and Nicole have a lot in common - both from old Texas families, strong interest in Texas history and culture. And both really great people. Is it wrong for me to try to figure out a way to

1. Get my friend J matched up again (he was divorced years ago - you never know what goes on in someone else's marriage and I really liked his ex, but I knew him first and felt like I had to choose, so he is still my friend and I don't know what's going on with her).

2. Get to keep Nicole as a friend?

I have already asked my brother if I could introduce the two of them. Professionally. On LinkedIn.

Maybe a friend of Nicole's is thinking the same thing about my brother - that she likes him so much and wants to be friends with him and hey, Nic! Why don't I set up Greg up with Jane?

Maybe.
