How do you know you found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?

You don’t find love; it finds you. When a crush finds you and another victim, you both have the choice of turning that initial spark into the beginnings of a relationship that you can continue to nurture and cultivate. So give up on finding love. Putting oneself out there is acceptable, but avoid looking for it. It simply so happens that something sparks the process in the beginning. Mutual love is created.
