yup never settle. Always know what you absolutely must have in a partner (going beyond physical is generally a step in the right direction) and always know what you simply cannot tolerate in a partner (for me it is smoking, for others it could be something else). Do not limit the field to "the one" and set out looking for her, as Ustwo mentioned you will never find her. I generally recommend finding someone who you really Like, before you love them, someone who makes you happy to be around, and who you are proud to call yours.
Also, don't fall victim to the everyone else is doing it or the mother's guilt. Make yourself happy with this first, you are the one who has to wake up next to her every day.
