Among all the characters of The Big Bang Theory, I think Rajesh has the toughest obstacle for finding his special someone. When I started watching the sitcom, I never imagined someone like Sheldon finding his soul mate. Before Amy was added to the group, the idea of Sheldon finding love never crossed my mind. I also thought Rajesh would eventually overcome his selective mutism rather than relying on alcohol to talk to women. What are your thoughts on Rajesh finding love?

Big Bang is one of my favorite sitcoms although I started watching it late and had to watch reruns to get caught up.
I think that each one of the four friends have a different issue that would make it hard for them to find their soul mate. Leonard had a tough childhood growing up under cold parents with high expectations, and yet he found Penny. Howard is funny but obnoxious if you happened to be the girl he was pursuing, and yet he got married first. Sheldon, well, I think Leonard's comment that they operated for years under the assumption that Sheldon had no "deal" is spot on, and yet he found Amie. If you remember, Raj tried medication, at least twice to my recollection, both with disastrous albeit funny results. I wonder if Raj ever tried therapy? I do remember he had a relationship with a deaf girl who turned out to be a golddigger (that was a funny episode). He only needs to keep looking, and who knows, maybe one day he'll find the One.

Raj's problem is really weird. He can't talk to a woman if he is sober, but he can talk to one even when sober if the woman can't hear him do so. He can also talk in front of a crowd where there are women mixed with men. Sigh. :) But I guess that despite this, he will eventually find his soul mate--one that can first understand it in the first place and then will help him overcome it. Somebody like Penny, who can start out being a friend who understands and then later develop into a girlfriend who will help him out. Just a thought. :)
