Mindy Kaling and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker inspired a whole fan base to start ‘shipping their Twitter flirt. Could they maybe take their witty, playful banter from Twitter into real life and date?

It all started last week when Booker called out Kaling and her show for dissing Newark, New Jersey.
Ouch! 💔@MindyKaling, heard Dr. Lahiri dissed Newark last night 🤔… @VogueMagazine & I disagree ✌🏼: https://t.co/2wP7ZqJKQd (I still ❤️U!) pic.twitter.com/FSwfkxenQJ

Kaling was quick to respond and confirm the love was mutual.

From there, Booker asked her to have dinner with him.
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

And she readily accepted.

We are totally on board with this relationship. There might just be one problem: It may have just been a friendly, “hey, I’m a fan,” kind of exchange since Booker was most recently linked to Instagram poet Cleo Wade. Though it’s unclear whether the two are still dating since the news broke last summer, it could be that Kaling and Senator Booker aren’t meant to be anything more than friends… for now.

In the meantime, we’ll be dreaming of this couple made in social media heaven along with the rest of Twitter.
@mindykaling Okay, I am super, SUPER jealous. Can I pick the wine? Bus your table? I hope you enjoy a nice rodizio Down Neck!

I've never been more excited about dinner plans that don't actually involve me eating food

I don’t care whether they’re just friends. This dinner needs to happen.
