I don't have one, but I would like one. But I still don't feel like I'm worth of a mentor. #impostersyndrome

I love helping people and I got a lot of my friends into programming and design and some of them now have careers because of my help.

Also, I give a lot of advices to people through internet. :)

When I decide to have a mentor I will approach some fellow developer who is my idol (superstar :D) over a Twitter or E-mail and just be honest with them.

So you still haven't decided if you need one? I would like to find some non-superstar, since superstars usually don't have the interest of mentoring people. Superstars are easiest to find though, their work puts them all over the internet if they are popular. I think the only way to be mentored by a superstar is to collaborate with them on a popular (their) open source project. I would like to find someone with the same interests as me and who is more experienced, but they are harder to find since they are not considered "experts" yet.

I need one that's for sure. I believe in mentors because they can bring you a lot of value and life worth of lesson in a short time.

It depends on who you think of as "superstar". My "superstars" are nice people who love helping people. Off course I'm not sure if they would mentor me but with the time we will see.
