Hi Jake, Correct spelling and punctuation is mandatory on this forum, thanks.
Sorry, schub, you also got the wrong word:
Pedro me presentó a María.
I was introduced by Pedro to María.

Literally, Pedro introduced me to Maria. - webdunce, Sep 1, 2009
I originally thought presentar, but looked up introducir in the dictionary and it translated as introduce, but I guess thats a different sense of introduce? Also, I thought you needed the indirect pronoun? Thanks! - schub, Sep 1, 2009

I think that is... Z me introdujo (presentó) a Y. or Z me lo presentó.

I think, if you have "Z introduced me to Y", it would be:
"Z le me introdujo a Y".
Indirect pronouns come before direct, so le before me.

Good question, one I'm not ready to answer but I'm pretty sure " lo " doesn't belong there.
