There were many possibilities for Raj not to be alone
In a July 20, 2022, Reddit thread, u/LaRussa (https://www.reddit.com/r/bigbangtheory/comments/w3zoth/who_do_you_think_shouldve_ended_up_with_whom/) listed which "The Big Bang Theory" characters they thought should have ended up with whom — and did not limit themselves to Raj. They mixed everyone up (except Howard and Bernadette), leaving Sheldon alone, Amy with Bert (Brian Posehn), and Penny with Wil Wheaton (himself)! But their choice for Raj was Yvette the veterinarian (Tania Raymonde).
Some agreed among the 70+ comments, while others suggested Emily Sweeney, Sheldon's sister Missy, or his almost-wife Anu, who Raj decided at the last minute — at Howard's urging — not to follow to London. Fans clearly wanted something lasting for Raj. "Raj is honestly such a catch, he should've had no trouble getting in a relationship with someone once he was able to talk to women," u/ob1knob33 (https://www.reddit.com/r/bigbangtheory/comments/w3zoth/comment/igzmmiv/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) opined. Quite a few fans felt the #onetruepairing is Raj and Howard — who even had a big romantic gesture at the airport (https://youtu.be/HPKwHUz0evA). "I was so hoping Raj would come out of the closet!" said u/rosie-broccoli (https://www.reddit.com/r/bigbangtheory/comments/w3zoth/comment/igzo2r6/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
But the writers liked the ending, as does Raj himself, Kunal Nayyar. "I find it quite poignant that the one character that believed in true love so much was the one who didn't, in the end, find it. It's beautiful!" Nayyar told Metro UK (https://metro.co.uk/2020/09/23/big-bang-theory-kunal-nayyar-raj-koothrappali-love-finale-future-13313786/). Steve Holland also didn't feel Raj found the right person yet, telling TVLine (https://tvline.com/2019/05/09/big-bang-theory-recap-raj-anu-breakup-season-12-episode-22/), "As close as it was, [Anu] wasn't quite the perfect one for him — and we want Raj to end up with the perfect woman." We're sure Raj will find his ideal soon enough.
