After Zach's hometown date, Rachel said Zach was everything she wants in a partner, and she was fully confident in the fact he was ready to get engaged.

And Zach, a 25-year-old tech executive from Anaheim Hills, CA, was certain that he was in love and wanted to spend the rest of his life with Rachel.

Zach said he and Rachel talked about religion and politics in the Fantasy Suite, and she allegedly lost her cool and began second guessing Zach's motives and commitment.

"It's like we were two strangers... Rachel's concern came out of nowhere. And I think it was bullsh-t, to be honest, and she was putting on a front. That scares me," Zach said in a confessional.

Zach, feeling "completely lost," said his relationship with Rachel had done "a 180" and she was "inauthentic" in the Fantasy Suite. Zach thought his overnight date was with a totally different person.

At the Rose Ceremony that followed Fantasy Suites, Zach pulled Rachel aside for a conversation, and that's how the latest The Bachelorette episode left off.

Zach had two serious relationships before meeting Rachel

Zach had one's typical high-school sweetheart, and then he dated a woman for a while and their relationship ended about a year before his The Bachelorette stint.

Things took a turn in Zach's life following that breakup.

"I wasn't okay," Zach has admitted.

"A couple of years ago, I was about 85 pounds more than I am now. I was severely overweight. I realized that I was not happy and I didn't have anything that resembled love for myself."

Zach said he struggled to find love with others since he was missing love for himself.

Once Zach became whole and fixed problems within himself through therapy and self-reflection, he became ready to find his future wife.

For over three years now, Zach has served as the Senior Cloud Technology Account Executive for Oracle.
