Gear-up

I went to a Bachelor party last weekend. Since it was a fellowship event, so beside food and games we also had our pastor to share with us his knowledge/experience. To be candid, I've forgotten most of the stuff he said. But one thing I remembered.  Pastor suggested us (singles) to gear-up while waiting for "miss right".  And the reason it caught my attention was just a few weeks ago I had this similar conversation with my sister.  I said I wonder why haven't God lead me to my "miss right" yet.  Could it be because I'm still not ready yet?  So when our pastor told us to gear-up last week, it really got my attention.  But to gear-up what? and how? exactly what do I need to do?????? just like always...I have so many questions...
