Sally Field is playing matchmaker for her son and Adam Rippon
When you want something done, get a mom to do it.
Even when that something is trying to get a date with an Olympian.
Sam Greisman, youngest son of Oscar-winning actor Sally Field, has not been shy about his crush on figure skater Adam Rippon, one of the media darlings of the PyeongChang games.
Gonna need a gif of @Adaripp saying he just wants to focus on being America’s Sweetheart for my daily use. Please and thank you.
Also marry me Adam.

So boys, where’re we watching @Adaripp tonight?

One of Greisman’s tweets was rather poignant.
I hate being earnest but an openly, “non-passing”, sassy, beautiful gay 20-something daring America not to love him and becoming the sweetheart of the Olympic Games is very moving to me.

But he made sure everyone knew he was a man on a mission.
Glad so many people liked this, but if you could slide it into Adam’s DMs that would be great too.

Greisman, however, wasn’t quite storming into Rippon’s mentions until his mother decided to take the direct approach for him.
Greisman tweeted a picture of a text message exchange with his mom. His text was cut off, but it looked like it said “lol and say what? To date me?? haha’’ to which Field replied “Sam… he’s insanely pretty.. Find a way.’’
Just some really helpful advice from my mom on how to deal with my Olympic crush. pic.twitter.com/shYCXwNOMf

Greisman didn’t tag Rippon, but Field made sure there’s no way he didn’t see it.

Greisman’s response was basically “Mom, you’re embarassing me.’’
Yikes.

But, really, he didn’t mind.
She’ll do what she has to do. She’s not the worst wing woman.

No word yet from Rippon. But Field drives a hard bargain. Moms are the best.
