On Monday, Charisma Valdez, a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, took to Twitter to look for a fellow Roadrunner on campus.
Her search for "Cody" came after she and some friends struck up a conversation with a woman while shopping at H-E-B. The mother began talking up her son in order find him a girlfriend, or at least a date. "Cody" was found after the tweet went viral, gaining more than 62,000 likes and 4,000 retweets.If your name is Cody, you’re 6’4, you go to UTSA, live at the Outpost, a sophomore, AND majoring in Global Affairs. Your mom truly is your wingman. She just showed my roommates and I your picture at HEB trying to find you a GF. lmao

Valdez and Gonzalez have plenty of people rooting them on, making jokes, or both.

Now that's what you call a puro San Antonio love story.Because sometimes, true love is found in our aisles (and we’re not just talking about #CreamyCreations). Nice work, Patricia! https://t.co/qtcwUrbZQw
