I think that the show writers will definitely have Richie meeting and dating other men, along with having Patrick and Kevin keep their fling going. Richie, slowly became a favorite character for viewers and critics of the show. The creator of the series is smart enough to realize that as much as folks think that Patrick and Kevin "fit better" as the so-called "better couple", Richie reflected an image that we hardly ever see in a tv program about relationships: the individual who knows that he or she may not be perfect, but they also do not deserve to be treated like crap by the one they like.
Richie stood up for himself and his feelings and that's why I'm Team Richie. I want him to find a man, not a boy, not a guy, not someone who doesn't know himself and not someone who says that he wants to find someone for himself, but let's himself become involved with a man who's already involved in a longterm relationship with his boyfriend.
As for Kevin: I've just been suspicious of him and his behavior since Patrick met him. As much as he told Patrick that he's all he can think about, Kevin's the one in control of how things may or may not go down regarding his continued pursuit of Patrick, while still being with his boyfriend. Kevin is still Patrick's boss.
