Raj and Claire at a wine tasting by avclub.com
The Big Bang Theory features the classic stereotype of nerdy guys who can’t get women. While it’s a running joke throughout the show, it proves to be untrue. We observe Howard with the short, curvy, and smart Bernadette. Leonard snags the hot and popular blonde Penny. Even Sheldon manages to find a soulmate. And then we have the unlikely womanizer Raj. Here is a list of all of Raj’s female pursuits by season.
Season 1
- In episode 6 The Middle Earth Paradigm, Raj attends a party at Penny’s where he picks up Cheryl, dressed as a ladybug.
- 2 episodes later in The Grasshopper Experiment, we meet Lalitta Gupta. Raj’s parents pair them together for a date after the two knew one another from childhood.
- Raj’s last pursuit is Missy Cooper in episode 15 The Porkchop Indetermination. He goes to ask our Sheldon’s sister but is unable to speak so he turns away.
