Has anyone ever gone this route?

So last year I posted that I thought my wife may have found a guy “friend” for doing things with but it never went anywhere because he never followed up on his end. He was her PT when she had shoulder surgery and she kind of dug him. He was 21 years younger than her. I won’t go into how I knew she liked him because it’s too long of a story. But they had a lot of mutual interests and I told he’d be perfect for her to have as a “friend” to kayak with etc etc.
This morning I brought it up again and asked if she’d be down for finding a friend for stuff like that and she didn’t say no. But the problem is finding a guy that she fancy’s. The choice of guys is up to her and her only. I mentioned to her that a young guy would be nice for safety reasons while kayaking (I hate kayaking and she knows it). But she also has the seed planted that if it went elsewhere I’d be perfectly fine with that also as I know I’m her guy and that it would not change that.
Has anyone had any luck finding an activity partner for their wife and if so where did you find him? I feel that unless the guy knows the husband is perfectly fine with it then they back off and I think that’s what happened with her PT guy maybe. She did tell him to call her to go kayaking if he wants but as said earlier he never did. She even went so far as following him on Instagram so that tells me how interested she was in him. He never followed her back and I don’t even think he gets in social media either any longer.
He was the best bet for her because she liked him. Another plus is that he lived like 5 miles from us. Really wish I could connect the two but no idea how as he is very private it seems.
