Don't do anything sneaky with the camera.

...Internet dating,

marriage conventions...

Meow!

...and weddings.

Don't be shy, talk to her, man.

The next December, I told

my parents the truth.

In March, I started yet

another dating system.

The "Ravi dates whoever makes him happy,

kind of like a normal person" system.

Um...

I think part of the problem

was I was carrying this

picture around in my head

of who I was going to marry,

when really, that's

just not how it works.

It was time to just allow the world

to put that picture together for me.

And it worked.

I found the girl that

I really, really liked,

and for the first time I could

see what I really wanted.

I liked her, and I had to

beg her to like me back.

You really begged.

Well, it was the only option.

- Like, you really begged.

- Yeah, we get it. Okay.

You really begged.

Do you want me to say something?

It was great, I was starting

a relationship truthfully

for the first time.

And just letting it be

whatever it was going to be.

That said, Mom and Dad still didn't

understand the concept of dating.

Okay. Geeta!

Can you stop the camera now, Geeta?

Yeah, turn that off, please. It just...

Yeah, Geeta, there's no reason for it now.

Oh, my God!

How did it go?

Just be yourself!

What's the big deal? It's just a camera!

How does it make you feel? Dad, tell me,

how does it make you feel

that Geeta just went on a date?

Geeta, tell me, what is love?
