My pieces of advice:
1: You are the female, unless you're a complete troglodyte you will have guys hitting on you--hence, you can afford to be choosy.
2: You will fail far more often than you succeed. Never get discouraged.
3: Never focus hard on the specific guy--focus on the archetype. If there's a guy out there that you think is drop-dead gorgeous but he doesn't like you--don't fret, there' likely a guy who's all that out there but also likes you.
4: Never come off like you're actively looking. You'll come off as desperate. Come off like they have to convince you that they are something awesome.
5: Expect the unexpected. You never know how, where, or why you'll meet the awesomest person who ever was. Keep your mind open.
6: And, once you find him, for fucks sake don't ever go all self-consious on him. Tits are tits and ass is ass and if the only reason you won't be all sexy for him is because you think you're ugly despite him and everyone esle telling you you're not, he'll find someone that will.
