If you remember, the "Waiting on the World to Change" singer was romantically linked to celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Minka Kelly, Katy Perry, and most infamously, Taylor Swift.

In a preview of Sunday's new episode of Kelly Rizzo's Comfort Food podcast, John revealed, "People don't think I want to be married. I absolutely want to be married."

"You know the secret, which is that I'm actually fairly well-adjusted," John told Kelly. "And I so badly want to get married if only for my wife to just know in her heart, like, 'John will know what to do.'"

"I just think that level of being relied on is the hottest thing in the world to me," he added. "'If my husband was here, he would know what to do. Call John. Call my husband.'"

And it was in that very moment that John learned something new about himself. "Reliance kink? Oh my God," John exclaimed. "Dependability kink? YES."
