While I'm sure that women do have it easier than us men, I'll in no way downgrade or disregard the challenges faced by women finding the right person. At the end of the day, it's more than just tickling. There is a plethora of traits that people of both genders look for in a potential S/O. Honestly, they might have it worse. I mean, besides trying to find 'The One', they have to fend off the teeming hordes of undesirables. Not a problem that most guys have, and definitely not a problem I'd actually want.
As to the 'how', you need to just go with it. There is life out there, and spending it all worrying about 'The One' is not healthy. Put yourself out there, take what comes, and keep yourself grounded in reality. Know that, unfortunately, the few dicks here have made the male gender seem 'creepy'. Deal with that by being you and proving yourself as a non-creeper. Unless you are a creeper, in which case, STOOOOOP. Know that you need to tell your potential S/O about your quirks. Certain things shouldn't be kept secret. Look, if you're a spook for the CIA or NSA, keep that under wraps. But your fetishes, your kinks? They are a big part of who you are, and they don't go away, so be open and honest from the jump. Be fairly open somewhere in the beginning phase about this to a vanilla person. Downplay it, and don't make it the focus of your relationship. You should want them for them; being ticklish is just a perk.
Also, know that you need to have something other than your quirks. Yes, you like tickling.....but what else? Keep it casual and respectful. Don't be 'oh so shy' and 'unclear'.....that will get you in the friend-zone. It's like a Venus fly trap: once you're in the zone, there is no escape. But don't be 'overly aggressive'......you're not storming Asgard or taking the one ring to Mount Doom, so chill out. Find a middle ground, look for the signs, and make your move when you see the opportunity.
I may have gotten ahead of myself, but you get the point. Stressing over it will stress you out. Take a deep breath, take a shot, and take a chance. The worst that can happen is they say no. Rejection hurts now, but loneliness as a result of giving up hurts forever.
