This TikToker Met His Potential Partner In The Most Unexpected Place– An Online Target Support Chat
If you’ve ever had to go through a company’s online chat support, then you know how unhelpful and frustrating they can sometimes be.
But, a TikToker named Jonah Taylor had the total opposite experience. After using Target’s online customer support service, he walked away with a potential new love interest.
Jonah is an avid record collector, and, after recently ordering a damaged record from Target, he reached out to their support staff for a replacement.
Instead of just taking care of his product problem, he also hit it off with the customer service worker.
“Y’all, I cannot make this up. I was talking to Target online support because I need something replaced, and I think I just found the love of my life,” Jonah said in his now-viral TikTok.
He then showed their message record, which became increasingly cheeky. After Jonah’s product issue was resolved, he and the worker– named Pablo– began exchanging smiley faces and calling each other “bestie.”
Pablo said Jonah “really made his day,” before Jonah responded, “Omg, stop, bestie! That’s so kind. You made mine too!”
Jonah eventually decided to shoot his shot and asked Pablo if he was single.

“I guess this was destiny, you know? Yes, I’m single,” Pablo responded.
Jonah asked for Pablo’s Snapchat and Instagram user names, and the pair decided to follow each other on the platforms.
Pablo also asked for permission to direct message Jonah on Instagram and even told him how handsome he was.
“Aw, thank you, cutie! You’re really handsome yourself,” Jonah said. Soon after, Pablo had to get back to work, but the pair promised to message each other later.
“So you who needs Tinder or Hinge when you have Target support?” Jonah said in his TikTok video. He also captioned the post, “A modern-day love story!”
Jonah’s recap of his support messages reached 4.6 million people and garnered over eight hundred thousand likes. The TikTok community went wild over their connection but also wondered if Pablo would get in trouble for flirting on a company platform.

“You can really find ANYTHING at Target!” one user joked.
“This chat will be in a PowerPoint when they call Pablo into the office,” a second user commented.
“Target boy just risked it all for love, lol,” added a third user.
Jonah actually ended up having a date with Pablo and posted a “get ready with me” TikTok beforehand.
Still, TikTok users were dying to know if Pablo ever got into trouble at work. So, Jonah finally posted a third video regarding Pablo’s employment status.
“I promise you he is fine, everybody. We really appreciate your concern for his job and everything like that, but he is fine. He definitely had some conversations, but he is not in trouble,” Jonah said.
Phew! It appears like this was a match made in Target support heaven.
Jonah and Pablo are still seeing each other but have decided to take things slow. To learn more about their first date and follow their journey, visit Jonah’s TikTok account here.
