She says he’s tall enough that she can wear heels, and that’s “something worth fighting for.” So she gets down on one knee, takes his hand, and asks him if he’ll marry her. She tells him she thinks he’ll be a good father. He gets up and walks away from the table, but Anu asks him to stop. He does want to get married and have children, he tells Anu, and he’s sorry if he wasted her time, but he is an idealistic guy, and this isn’t the romantic backstory he wants to tell his grandchildren someday. Raj isn’t happy with Howard’s interference, but midway through his second date with Anu, he realizes his friend was right. Howard thinks it’s sad for Raj to give up on the possibility of making a true love connection, then, in favor of a quickie marriage. Raj is all about the romance, Howard points out, more than any person he’s ever met. Raj is, if not excited, certainly willing to continue along this path he asked his family to set into motion for him, until BFF Howard voices his disapproval. They involve moving up to her boss’s position, and she’s hoping his smoking habit will facilitate that happening more quickly. She’s 34, she wants to get married and have children, she tells him, and she has very specific goals for her career in the hospitality business. Meanwhile, Anu doesn’t seem like the kind of person who has the time or patience to indulge Raj. Raj is Raj, sweet, sensitive, a hopeless romantic who - here comes the flip side - unwisely details to his future wife the many ways Sandra Bullock is his dream woman.
Raj reports to his friends that the questionnaire indicated he and Anu had much in common, but sparks are not flying when they meet for their first dinner date. One detailed compatibility questionnaire later, Raj and Anu, the daughter of Koothrappali family friends, go on a date. Lonely, bored, and tired of being the only member of his group of friends who’s still single - even the human Eeyore of a man that is Stuart has found love - Raj had made the impulsive decision to ask his father to set him up with a potential bride. Even by arranged-marriage timelines, this seems fast: After 1.5 dates with the woman his parents set him up with, Rajesh Koothrappali is engaged.
