So whats "preparing" ?
The thing is, you are going to have to have something to offer to a potential spouse such as financial stability (steady stable job), your own place, etc. as well as a certain measure of spiritual maturity.

What do I do then ?
The thing is, you sound desperate not just for a girl, but for any kind of human interaction you can get.

You keep throwing out barbs to try to hook anyone and everyone who will bite.

What are your hobbies?

What are your friends and family like?

How about your job and church?

In other words, what does your own independent life consist of?

There is a difference between waiting and preparing.
Yes good point I forgot to add that. Prepare yourself to be a good partner. Become more Christlike in your character while you wait. What if God waits until you’re 67 to bring you the perfect wife? Are you gonna waste all those years?

I suppose that someone who is now on meatier aspects of scripture and apply such to one's life. This requires a certain measure of wisdom.

Think about a thick, meaty steak.

Something that is "meatier" is something stronger, something that is more meaningful, but something that might take a bit longer to digest.

I didnt understand the word "meatier".
For example, in parts of the bible there is mention of various foods that should not be eaten if sacrificed to an idol.

A more mature approach would be to realize that there is really no such thing as an idol but they (idols) are only alive in the mind of the one that believes in such things. Therefore, any food that was sacrificed to idols would be acceptable to eat.

There are those that their conscience would bother them if they ate such food. For the one that is more spiritual mature in this regard should refrain from eating such food in the presence someone that is spiritually immature pertaining to eating food that was sacrificed to idols.

Born again believers are compared to natural born babies in that new borns
subsist on milk before moving on to more solid foods that include meat.

We are also exhorted in Scripture to be content with where we are in
life, and that if you were saved as a single person, to remain single.

Actually, all of us probably have areas where we need to be more spiritually mature. As for yourself, you would be in the best position to know where you may be spiritually lacking. This is really not for myself to say.

But hey I cant be the whole day reading the Bible. What I do the rest of the time ?

And I will never find anyone if all I do is waiting for God to give me everything.
You do whatever you want to do. Right now just about anything would be an improvement over sit around and feel miserable about being single. Go for a hike, play a game, read a novel, learn computer programming, watch something thought provoking on TV, go to a concert or a movie. Clean house or tackle a home improvement project. Volunteer to help less fortunate people. Learn boating or scuba diving or ballroom dancing or coin collecting. Do historical reenactments. Clean house.

I won't claim to always spend my time productively or well but I will claim to not spend much time moping around over being single.

Here's a hint: "I want a wife! I want a wife!" is about as far from spiritually mature as you can get.

When you're going the wrong way, stop and go the other way for a while. Continuing to go the wrong way just puts you even further from your goal.
