"I really want to find my person who can put me in my place when I need it and make me smile at it," he said in a clip included in the Aug. 14 episode of The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All. "The person who can lay down beside you at night and not have to say anything and you feel it. That's love. That's what I want, and I know that person's out there."
As for Patty, she's also more than ready to "meet someone who loves and cherishes" her.
"When she isn't spending time with her sons, Patty is hard at work as a real estate agent, loves playing ping pong, and lounging poolside with a great book," her bio, provided by ABC, reads. "While Patty has been single for almost 30 years, her heart is open, and she hopes to share positivity and zest for life with a partner.
