While I like this idea, i feel like Chidi is too indecisive for a direct "i'm going to kiss you now." It's more likely that Eleanor starts the kiss and he responds enthusiastically after mulling stuff over for a few minutes.
I respect your headcanon, but I wrote that line because to me...this is Chidi in love. This is his best self. And his best self is confident, sure, and decisive.
In the Mindy tape, Eleanor says I love you and his immediately response that he loves her too. No waffling. No panic. Just truth.
That’s what he gets from Eleanor. The ability to believe in himself despite his fears.That is why (imo) she is his soulmate.
