My interpretation is that the narrator is talking to himself. He's advising himself to be careful with his heart and to take his time finding himself before he's ready to pursue the right woman. Once he reaches his goal of finding himself, he'll be ready for her, whoever she is, because he'll know himself better, and will therefore be able to make better decisions regarding his love life.
