Mindy Kaling Says Yes To Dinner Date With Sen. Cory Booker After 'Dissing Newark'

This is what romance looks like in the 21st century ― and we’re all for it.

It all began with a diss on Hulu’s “The Mindy Project” and ended with Mindy Kaling agreeing to go on a date with New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.

On Tuesday’s episode, Kaling’s character Dr. Mindy Lahiri joked that she couldn’t believe Booker showed up to her party:

“Cory Booker? I can’t believe he came. I guess anything to get out of Newark, huh?”

On Thursday, Booker tweeted at Kaling that he heard her “Mindy Project” character had dissed Newark and posted a link to a Vogue article on why it’s worth visiting. The senator made sure to keep the tweet light-hearted and was quite flirty with his use of emojis ― not to mention the fact he added “(I still ❤️ U”).

Kaling responded by assuring Booker that anything her character dislikes is actually cool:

And then something magical and rom-com worthy happened. He asked her out! On Twitter!

And. Then. She. Said. Yes.

Are you swooning yet?
