Is it a special skill to ruin every relationship you have? Or maybe a curse?

The Big Bang Theory doesn’t have a romantic comedy positioning, but still the show is full of love stories of all kinds. The slowburns, like Leonard and Penny’s, or probably the unexpected ones, like Sheldon and Amy. And the list goes on…

Fans really witnessed a lot of failed relationships on this nerd-centric comedy show. Mostly because it was full of awkward male characters who couldn't even talk to women. Literally (shout out to Raj).

Yet somehow Howard, Raj and Leonard have managed to appear in many different relationships over the course of the show. But that doesn't even remotely mean that all of them were or could have been successful, even on paper.

Take Leonard. This awkward guy who is too shy to talk to beautiful women and takes his time when he finally does ask them out. But once he got in the game, he somehow became the macho boyfriend he always dreamed of being.

When he was in a long distance relationship with Raj's sister Priya, he somehow managed to meet a girl who seemed perfect for him. He just picked her up in a comic book store and the fact that she was interested in him made him puff up like a peacock.

Although this "relationship" only lasted for one date, the fans were pretty into it and actually rooted for them. But in their hearts, they were absolutely sure that Leonard would screw it up, even if he wasn't trying to cheat on Priya with Alice.

“Alice and all of the girls Leonard dated are far too good for the likes of him. His mother's books were right, needy baby, greedy baby,” Redditor ingipingu said.

Even though Leonard didn't go all the way with Alice, he still kissed her, and that's cheating. What's more, the fact that he didn't tell Alice about Priya until they were already kissing is also cheating.

So Leonard, not such a good guy, huh?
