Forget dating apps – single women are now heading to The Home Depot to find love.

The bizarre new trend has gone viral on TikTok, with hopeful romantics claiming the hardware store is the perfect place to meet a handy, husband-material man. 

One woman called Nevv, from Toronto, Canada, posted a video from inside the store as she strolled nonchalantly through the aisles. 

‘Ladies, this is your sign to stop finding these men in the club and go to your nearest Home Depot,’ she shared in overlaid text.

In reference to the beloved kids show, she added in the caption: ‘Get yourself a Bob the Builder.’ 

Scarlett, another content creator, also shared a light-hearted clip, writing: ‘Can’t find a boyfriend so I have to act lost in Home Depot.’

The blonde beauty twirled her hair and gazed at the shelves as if she needed assistance from – hopefully – a man who was boyfriend material. 

Kelby Joseph, the Founder and Strategic Executive Producer at KKO Productions, also urged singles to make their way to their local The Home Depot and explained how the trend worked.

‘It’s not about them (women) not knowing what they’re doing, it’s about the explanation,’ he began in his TikTok video.

‘If a guy comes to them and they’re mansplaining, but they do it in a respectful way, a charming way, a kind way, not demeaning them, not making them seem like “You don’t know what you’re doing. Let me take over.” You’re failing the test.

‘To pass the test is to be the person who is present and available to help. 

‘And when you do that in a kind, respectful manner, still allowing her to be in her power, but she’s giving you the baton to be in yours that’s when you pass the test.’

Kelby also said there were specific times of day that were better for meeting people.

He didn’t disclose them right away, but a comment detailed two specific days.

‘6am on Thursday and Friday morning… the general contractors are pressed for the weekend goals on construction… they’re masculine and some are very single,’ it read.

However, not everyone is convinced by the method with staff and former employees warning it might not be the dating goldmine it seems.

In the comments, many people argue the men at The Home Depot are ‘married’ or too young to date. 

One person wrote: ‘Girl, I work there, run far, far, far away.’ 

‘I promise the man you want is not at Home Depot,’ someone else penned.

Despite the possibility that a boyfriend is not waiting for you at The Home Depot, the trend proved to work for one couple.

Katelyn Ansari, a single mom of two who had recently moved to Texas from California, found her now-partner after roaming the isles of the hardware store, per a viral TikTok video. 

She asked him for help finding something, and the rest was history.
