I refuse to believe that if and when I meet my future spouse, I'll just "know."

I agree. I'm too logical of a person. I feel it, but my nature is to argue with myself. I do trust my gut instinct about things, but the way I process everything in my life isn't condusive to that sort of thinking (I call it an occupational hazard of my profession, thankfully the bf is the same sort of thinker). Particularly since i'm a little older than last time I was thinking in this sort of light, i'm much more serious about it. Instead of oh wow this guy is fun and I really like him, i'm in love with him! It's more along the lines of is this the person i'm going to spend the rest of my life with.
