Default Relationships and marriage

Hi, I know this sounds crazy, but i'm an 18-year-old who is planning for my future marriage. I know, kids my age are all dating as much as they could, but i kind of made a promise to myself not to date unless i know it is going to work out. I know that there are guys out there who wants to date me, but i just know that it won't work out, so i am not going to bother.

I got out of a 4-year-relationship with a guy who dated me out of sympathy. I was depressed and needy, and that did not work out at all. Right now, i'm working on fixing myself and growing up, and i know that no relationship is going to work out until i'm ready for it. I'm just not in a position of dating.

So here's my question for you guys/girls who're way more experienced than i am:
How do you know that a person is the right person for you?

Well first of all you at least give someone a chance. I mean how do you really know if someone is not right for you if you always say they are not, if you haven't given them the chance yet?

How do you know? By dating them and getting to know them.
