You know how you don’t know you want something until it’s right up in your face, and you’re like, why didn’t I think of that? Well let me tell you a story.
Cory Booker — yes, the attractive dude slash New Jersey Senator, basically asked actress and writer Mindy Kaling on a date via Twitter and it’s everything.
Related: See the all female cast of ‘Ocean’s Eight’ ride the subway After Kaling’s “Mindy Project” character, Mindy Lahiri, dissed New Jersey on a recent episode, Booker took to Twitter to defend his state. “Ouch! @MindyKaling, heard Dr. Lahiri dissed Newark last night… (I still <3 U!)” Kind of thirsty, no?
Ouch! ?@MindyKaling, heard Dr. Lahiri dissed Newark last night ?… @VogueMagazine & I disagree ✌?: https://t.co/2wP7ZqJKQd (I still ❤️U!) pic.twitter.com/FSwfkxenQJ

Kaling assured Booker that anything Mindy Lahiri doesn’t like is cool, and as an avid fan of the show, I can confirm that. She also slipped in that the “<3" was mutual. Mmhm.
Senator, if Mindy Lahiri shades it, it means we know it’s cool. Thanks for the ❤. It’s mutual! https://t.co/KW2ibviREc

Then, Booker just went all out. I mean, all out. “You are making my day! Thanks for the clarification. And If the <3 is really mutual… Come have dinner with me in Newark? #PleaseSayYes” The thirst is real, y’all.
You are making my day! Thanks for the clarification. And If the ❤️is really mutual… Come have dinner with me in Newark? #PleaseSayYes ?? https://t.co/fI9IYJYZEX

Related:Cheryl and Liam Payne are cool British parents now Kaling, 37, of course said yes, then pretended to look up the PATH schedule. If this is love in the 21st century, I can get down with it. But truly: I hope that Mindy Kaling is taking this seriously. This could be a nice change of pace for her. And maybe it will inspire her “Mindy Project” character to date someone other than a white man on her show! A girl can dream.
