I don't think he's the right character to play the ladies man. I don't think Raj is believable in that role at all. They had Wolowitz if they wanted to go down that route but they decided to castrate his character into the role of the devoted husband many moons ago.Hello, "HomoNovus"
Yes, sometimes it seems that the writers are hating their own characters. Why else they would handle them in this way?
Sheldon was alway my hero. I do not know exactly why. How written in my first post, I am not a nerd, a scientist,......and certainly not a genius. But from the beginning Sheldon was the character with which I could identify best. Perhaps he was still the loner. My favorite "Star Trek"-characters were always "Spock", Data" and "Odo".(And of course the villains). All loners. And Sheldon was always the kind of "Mister Spock" of the nerd-group.
What they have made with him......
But how you have written, beside the fact that Sheldon is one of the centric figures of our page, they have also ruined the other characteres. Of course my poor Penny
. (If they had this two getting closer in the way like at the beginning of the show a relationship would be absolutely believable). Raj and Howard had so much potential at their vintage-ways. But know they have made them to cartoons and cliches.
"The role of the devoted husband"
I am the only one who must think at the names Marcy and Jefferson Darcy?"
All in all.... I quite want that all the characters will become happy. Even for Leonard -which is my favorite-enemy- I hope that he will become happy..... But not in a relationship with Penny which (intended strange to hear it from the mouth of a guy) is playing over his leage.
At the moment it looks as if it stuck but well, you know me. I have still the hope that there will be come the moments where Penny will tell Sheldon that he really "was the guy"
and Sheldon will tell Penny what he really really meant with his "Yeah,...I love you too." 
That the writers realize what they have with Penny, Sheldon and the possibillity of "Shenny".
Until then,....chin up.
