As shown on The Bachelorette's May 22 premiere, Peter, a 31-year-old personal trainer and business owner from Madison, WI, was the first bachelor out of a limo on Night 1.

Rachel noted to the cameras he was "cute" when he walked away following his introduction, and Peter was later shown gushing about how she's stunning and they have the same "gap teeth."

Once it became time for The Bachelorette's first Rose Ceremony, Rachel handed out her very first rose to Peter, a definite sign the 32-year-old attorney from Dallas, TX, is interested in him.

Although Peter didn't win Rachel's First Impression Rose, he obviously stood out from the pack.
