Basic guys dreaming of dating Malia Obama can borrow a seat now as the ex-First Daughter looks to have a suitor who is anything but basic to her.

Malia and the mystery guy were pictured cruising through SoHo on Wednesday night — looks like they had a 3rd wheel girlfriend with ’em though. As for the dude, he was pretty stylish in a long black coat and knitted cap.

More than anything … we know he’s TALL. Both Malia and Barack are 6’1″, and this guy looks to have a good 3 inches on her.

They might be just friends, but those smiles seem more than copacetic.
