Those three girls at the dinner for Oleg.


Was this some hidden camera Dating Game? That would have been an interesting scene, watching all 3 of them compete for his attention.
What kind of crazy matchmaker parents invites all the girls on the same night!
Dude. You invite one girl to dinner with her parents and at least try to make it look like a simple friendly dinner.

I dunno, I just find it hard to believe this was a normal thing even in that place and time. It's normal for parents to set their kids up but it's just usually one potential partner at a time, not all lined up like a game show. That seems super awkward for both their child and for the 3 potential partners.

It didn't work so well though, did it? It was too obvious and Oleg just walked out. Maybe for a person who had told their parents they wanted to get married, it might be efficient.
But for a skittish brooding person like Oleg, it just turns them off to be treated like the prize on a game show. He needs a more subtle approach. not lining up the girls like hookers and saying "pick one".
