She Found Love At Her Local Home Depot After She Stopped By To Shop For A Man
Last month, Katelyn Ansari decided to ditch the dating apps and instead stopped by her local Home Depot to shop for a man.
Well, to be fair, she also has spent the last few years remodeling her home, so Home Depot is hardly a foreign land to her.
Katelyn, who goes by @katelynnansari on TikTok, shared a video on TikTok saying she took some advice and decided it was time to head on down to the well-known home improvement store, since dating apps were proving to be a terrible way to find love.
As Katelyn perused the aisles, she spotted a cute guy in neon yellow shorts and a black t-shirt. Katelyn paused and wondered if she should go talk to him, and she worked up the courage to approach him.
While doing so, she came up with a great way to start a conversation: asking for help with a DIY project!
“Excuse me,” Katelyn said to the cutie, “I’m trying to hang a picture. Like a large picture. Can you help me find the things that I need?”
The guy jumped in to help as Katelyn worried she came across as silly. Katelyn did not, in fact, have a picture waiting at home to hang, but this guy didn’t know that.
He simply handed Katelyn a few items that would help her hang that made up picture and sweetly offered up advice.
She remarked that it was the best $13 she ever spent, purchasing the hardware, as it also helped her get this guy’s number.
When he was done helping her, the guy walked away, and Katelyn didn’t want to be super forward and give him her number in case he had a girlfriend or a wife.
However, this guy turned around, came back up to Katelyn, and asked her for her number. Katelyn is absolutely a “relationship girlie” so it did make her nervous to fork over her number not knowing what this guy was looking for.
But wait, Katelyn’s tale of romance doesn’t stop there! In a series of follow-up videos she shared, the guy, named Tryce, asked Katelyn out to dinner to make up for what he said was the “poor advice” he gave her back there in Home Depot.
Katelyn characterizes herself as an introvert, and she really had to go outside of her comfort zone to even approach Tryce in Home Depot at all.
Her bravery paid off though, because Tryce is a gentleman, and now they’re dating. The most hilarious part of this story is that somehow, Tryce found Katelyn’s first video about him, and he commented that he couldn’t believe there wasn’t a picture she needed to hang.
How cute is that? Will any of you single ladies be stopping by your local Home Depot to hopefully bump into a cute man worth giving your number to?
