The timing of that kiss was one of Leonard's smartest moves on the entire show.

[@cdawg9895]

This is a great moment for Penny and Leonard. He asking her out and she says yes. The audience reactions makes it better because they been waiting for this since day one.

[@catrinalawrence393]

😊😊😊😊😊

Not "like a date", a date. Important distinction. Leonard is very interested in you, Penny. Has been from the start.

I married the nice guy who was kind & honest & REALLY CARED ABOUT ME, & I have NEVER regretted it!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ We've been married 25 years now, & he just keeps proving to be so steady in love & so worthy of my trust.

[@Bluemortal001]

teach the young women... choose better. stop dating the same losers time and time again while the good guys wait ;)

[@yellowblanka6058]

@@Bluemortal001 One problem is those losers have a lot of undeserved confidence/"assertiveness", so they are more likely to actually approach women, and then women assume that because of that "confidence" he MUST have something going for him (and of course he doesn't, but he has enough to get a date and maybe a short-term relationship before she discovers his whole life is a facade....and then moves on to the next guy with the same tactics). As a guy, I have a tip for you ladies - ignore the guy bathed in Axe Body Spray with the gold chain around his neck feeding you lame one-liners, walk over to the guy darting you glances, maybe nervously smiling and strike up a conversation....odds are you'll be far happier with the result.

[@oatechaosincycles]

Not even embarrassed to say Im a 48 year old married guy and every Leonard and Penny moment like this gets me choked up.

[@hdskl2150]

It’s so sweet. Too bad they didn’t end up together in real life too.

Love is nice. We should all get choked up.

[@hawkeye31k]

I'm 54, right there with ya, bud.

[@garynationssr9263]

@hdskl2150 I read articles etc...apparently Johnny decided that each time their date landed them outside Johnny was paranoid. He didn't want to get caught in a bf/gf relationship where coworkers could see. Something about ruining their careers. So their pledge was only to go out in public twice a year to a place they both agreed upon. After a while Kalley couldn't deal with it so they broke up. If they dated others not part of the staff it was fine.

[@underthesun-ml4mu]

The great thing about this scene is the fact that Leonard initiated the kiss. Usually in Hollywood we see the underdog getting kissed by his long time crush. But no, this scene is real because Leonard is the guy who obviously had greater feelings towards Penny. And to kiss her after she said, "Let's talk" suggests that he didn't want her to second guess things. He wanted her to know that he can take charge in a relationship.

[@youmustcreateachanne]

Hate to break it to you, but the OP cut a chunk out. This is not exactly how it went. Leonard adked Penny if she'd heard of Shroedinger's cat. She said she'd heard only too much about it. Leonard was satisfied with that & *THEN* kissed her. She determined that the "cat" was alive & immediately said, "Let's go to dinner."

[@catsaresocute650]

That's not actually great. He should've asked first

[@IanChristopherson-t9v]

He did, he asked her on a date. Most men these days send a dic pic.

[@superdave8248]

The gamble worked well for her. She was 21 when she started with this show. Absolute peak in her SMV prime. and she gave the series her peak years. She has been in some things since but nothing that will equal her in TBBT. She made that series. Hands down. But she is now past her sexual prime. Give it another 10 years and she will be on Hallmark.

It sometimes does. I've seen my fair share of dorks ending up with these 'hot' women. Penny is insecure about her intelligence/academic success, so obviously she's looking for that in partner. The only unrealistic part of this show is these renowned physicists putting up with an asshole like Sheldon with all their busy schedule.

[@dsscam]

TBBT handled the #1 central character romance 10000% better than Friends. Ross and Rachel didn't belong together in the end after Rachel dated Joey and 100 other guys, and Ross waited 5-6 years to get back together with her. I know Friends is the more iconic show, but the secondary romance (Chandler and Monica) was handled perfectly and should've been the only one where the couple wound up together. The finale felt forced.TBBT also should've had a season-long arc in which Paige came between Sheldon and Amy--or, at least, featured an episode or two with Paige.

[@Danny-ge2my]

50 years ago I guess this would be what would it be called going steady???

[@Mani26031981]

Not quite the Ross & Rachel kiss at Central Perk, but this was iconic and set the tone for the series. I'm quite sad that they're not together in real life, but at least with Penny and Leonard we can see how great a couple they would have been.
