Isn't "gerne" a bit too much here? I don't see any context where it sounds appropriate to add gerne there..
It is the same difference as:
-
He wants me to look to the right.
-
He would like for me to look to the right.
"Til at" beskriver en funktion – Spørg: til hvad?
Fx Han købte en kniv til at skære brød med.
"Til at" beskriver det, som noget (fx et redskab) skal bruges til: Han ønskede sig en maskine til at bage brød i.

"Til at" describes a function - Ask: what for? Eg. He bought a knife (what for?) to cut bread (with). "Til at" describes what something (eg. a tool) is used for: He wanted a machine (what for?) to bake bread (in).
