There are no rules when it comes to love, if anything, it's more of a 'trial and error' kind of scenario until you find the right person. Although for Katie Thurston, Season 25 of 'The Bachelor' had her out of luck when it came to love.

But Thurston is back and her faith in love has been restored (no thanks to Matt James) and she is all set to find her man on 'The Bachelorette' Season 17. This time around, she'll be the one playing hard to get, as 34 suitors try to win her over. And among them is a certain Marty Hargrove.

Who is Marty Hargrove?

A 25-year-old dancer from Reno, Nevada, Hargrove's personal tagline is "Marty brings the party." He enjoys horseback riding, watching movies indoors and appreciates a good bottle of cologne. Looks like a romantic picnic might be in the books for him and Thurston.

What does he do for a living?

As reported by the Sun, Hargrove is also a model and an actor. He was formerly a multi-discipline athlete when he attended Dakota State College, seeing that he played football as well as ran track and field.

Is Hargrove on social media?

Interestingly enough, Hargrove doesn't have any social media. Seeing that he's not a fan of people spending too much time on their phones, this doesn't come as a surprise and looks like Hargrove stays true to his words.

What is Hargrove looking for in a relationship?

For Hargrove, he is currently on the quest to find his one true love. His playfully exterior houses a rather sensitive side. He's hoping to find a partner with whom he can communicate on various levels and someone that is willing to live with him in the moment.

As per his ABC bio: "Marty has big energy, big confidence and a lot of love to go around. Though Marty loves to have fun and show off his rockin' bod, underneath that boisterous exterior is a man with a sensitive soul who is serious about finding "the one." He is looking for a woman who can joke around with him and will enthusiastically join him for a weekend of camping under the stars. He can't be with someone who spends more time staring at their phone screen than into his eyes, and good communication skills are an absolute must. Marty loves to express himself through physical touch and says that he "loves to love on and be loved on." Will Katie be all about the love with Marty?"

Catch Season 17 of 'The Bachelorette' on Monday, June 7, at 8/7c on ABC.
