US Senator Asks Mindy Kaling on Date via Twitter in the Sweetest Exchange

It all started with a tweet!

Mindy Kaling received the sweetest invitation for a date with New Jersey Senator Cory Booker all thanks to her character Mindy Lahiri on The Mindy Project.

Booker took to Twitter to address Mindy’s Newark diss on a recent episode of her series.

“Ouch,” he wrote next to a broken-heart emoji. “Heard Dr. Lahiri dissed Newark last night.”

Although he said he disagreed with her view, he wrote, “I still [heart] u!”

Que the flirtatious conversation!

Kaling responded, “Senator, if Mindy Lahiri shades it, it means we know it’s cool. Thanks for the [love],” she wrote with a heart emoji, adding, “It’s mutual!”

Booker took the “mutual” love as an opportunity to ask Kaling out on a date.

“You are making my day! Thanks for the clarification,” he tweeted back. “And If the [love] is really mutual… Come have dinner with me in Newark? #PleaseSayYes.”

Kaling didn’t make us wait too long for a response.

“Yes,” Kaling tweeted back shortly after, adding that she had to check the PATH train schedule, which is the Port Authority Trans-Hudson train that serves Newark, Harrison, Hoboken and Jersey City.

But, Booker had a more gentleman-like approach in mind and said he’d send a car for her.

“Thank you! PATH train is awesome when you are Jersey bound,” he responded. “But you are @Lyft worthy! I will send one to you for the door to door.”

Fingers crossed these two follow through with their date night plans.
