I did it, took like 2 years to find the right person. I got engaged to someone after a year but it was not great so I broke it off and tried again. They just wanted to get married and the first bump in the road couldn’t be talked through.
Be yourself and don’t be afraid to straight up ask sex questions or finances. That stuff can ruin the relationship later or just make it difficult. Marriage is difficult even when all the stars align and there are no kids so don’t settle for less. Look for a person with the right heart and give it all to God and ask for advice from friends that will be honest. I asked for advice from people that wouldn’t be brutally honest and it almost hurt me.
I guess this went from a reply to just general advice. In regards to your comment about sex before getting to know someone (aka marriage), from my personal experience sex is more about emotions than the physical act. This is why Jesus talked about looking at women lustfully as still committing adultery. It’s so much more than just an act, many different things are combined into sex in marriage. It’s such a beautiful thing.
