There's no problem with waiting, but don't let that be the only thing you do. When that person comes to you, and surely they will, don't be so overwhelmed by finally finding someone that you put them up on a pedestal when in reality they aren't everything you thought they were. Word of advice, once you meet this person, just remind yourself to take things slowly. Take a breath. Sometimes we get so attached, we give all our love away too quickly and then leave none for ourselves.
