Setup setback

Just spoke to my mom, who inquired about my romantic status. Seems she's going out to dinner with some acquaintances whose son just moved to Waltham. He's a single, Jewish lawyer. She wants to know if she can give him my number.
I sighed at her request and replied that my romantic status doesn't actually figure into this. She can give him my email, but should not promise his family a date with me. I'm all for expanding my social circle. And I imagine that he wants to make new friends in his new home. A note to well-meaning relatives and parents, please don't take this to the next level. That's for the two people involved to decide.
