That’s one way to find a stud.
A TikTok creator went shopping for a man at her local Home Depot — finding the perfect solution to her messy dating life in the hardware aisle.
Katelyn Ansari, in a now-viral video, approached a man — whom she referred to as cute and handsome — shopping in the home improvement store and asked for his advice on how to hang a large picture frame that didn’t actually exist.
“Can you help me find the things that I need,” she asked the stranger, who then led her down an aisle and handed her a hook and some wire.
The video, titled, “Got off the dating apps to find me a blue collar man at Home Depot,” has since generated nearly 6 million views on TikTok.
The flirty ploy ended with the pair exchanging numbers, texting and going on their first date, according to follow-up videos she posted to her platform.
“It felt like a modern-day fairytale,” Ansari told People.
“He’s made me start believing in love and romance again.”
Ansari swore off dating apps following several bad experiences and turned her sights to her local hardware store in Texas to find an eligible bachelor the old-fashioned way – in person – crediting the “Home Depot Dating” trend for giving her the idea, People reported.
Over the past year, single ladies have taken to the social platform to boast about their meet-cute success among the aisles of screwdrivers and appliances and film themselves “looking confused” as they hope to find a potential soulmate.
“I truly didn’t think it would work,” she said.
“I’ve been single for about two years and casually dated here and there, but legitimately every man I met on Bumble or Hinge was a no-go.”
Ansari confirmed the pair have since become a couple, People reported, adding that she kept her courtship private until she knew “he was the man he claimed to be.”
She hard-launched their relationship online last month.
