While passing out hundreds of Christmas gifts for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign, Michelle Obama scooped up an admirer AND a possible date to the Marine Corps Ball.

While the First Lady was leaning over a toy bin, Lance Cpl. Aaron Leeks, 20, asked Mrs. Obama to accompany to the Marine Corps Ball because he admires her work to support the military.  SIDEBAR:  He’s a cutie right!

So what was Mrs. Obama’s response?  Aaron said,

“She said she’d love to go.  Actually, she said I’d need to speak to her husband, too, but she said she’d love to.”

Aaron revealed that he will be deployed to Afghanistan in January but plans to attend the ball when he returns next year.

Hmmm…..what do you think President Obama will say?
