It sounds like you are ready to experience life and love and want to continue to make the right decisions to find the person that is right for you.
This is an important step for you and like anything important where you lack experience it should be taken slowly. Try developing your social skills in a no pressure situation with group dateing.
you will begin dateing men that have been dateing for a few years and have much more experience and some of it not all positive.
You want to look for the man of your dreams where you know the best character traits will be found.
Intellectual gathering spots, lectures, mutual interest groups, church, entertainment venues other than night clubs etc.
Sharing tips with female friends will definitely get you up to speed on what to avoid and how to handle negative situations.
You wouldn't just drive a car without training, so don't start the most important phase of your life without the same.
Be careful, be smart, be optimistic, be positive, be sincere, be alert, and don't be naive to the extent that you are blinded to deception and mis interpret it for true love.
You are a precious gift as you have been told, and if you conduct your self as such, you will find your true love. Don't look for diamonds where they won't be found and you will be fine.
