Trying to get two people together
My husband and I decided that one of his coworkers, "Gina," might be a good match for a friend of ours, "Carl." H organized a night out with a few coworkers including Gina that also included significant others. He made an excuse for Carl to come so they could get a chance to talk, and we could see if they got along well. They did spend most of the time talking to each other. Carl definitely liked Gina. Gina seemed to enjoy talking to Carl, but I'm not sure if she liked him in that way. (I don't know her as well, and she seems the type to not want to be obvious about liking someone.) With that in mind, I'm wondering what the next step for Carl should be? I wouldn't be surprised if he asks H and me what he should do, and it would be nice to have good advice. It would be difficult/awkward to arrange more casual meetings between them. She doesn't have a Facebook account or anything like that. We could give him her phone number, but I'm worried it would seem creepy for him to call her considering she didn't give him her number. What does a nice guy with good intentions do when he meets someone he likes and doesn't want to be awkward or creepy?
Re: Trying to get two people together
Maybe go as far as to say to him "So what did you think of Gina?" and let him pick up the ball with his reply. If he is receptive maybe say "So why don't you give her a call? Grab a bite to eat or something?"
Do nothing else. Let it progress from there.

And honestly- be careful w/ setting people up! I've done this once. ONCE. And that is all I''ll ever do it. If it doesn't work out, it kind of ends up being a little awkward! That's more the reason why I say that if THEY mention wanting to pursue it, work w/ it, but otherwise - stay out of it. Do NOT create anymore 'casual get togethers' w/ the sole purpose of getting them in the same room.

If this is the case, could you as, Gina what she thought and if she wants you to pass on her number? I think you should approach her first, because no woman appreciates having a dude call her if she's not into him.
