Hello, I suppose I have met my twin flame as I have been with the same partner for about 14 years and we're still happy together, but I can't say it hasn't been a relationship that required work and self introspection together to work out the things in ourselves that needed to evolve and grow. There wasn't a "know" in the beginning, because you can't know in the beginning. You only know after time has passed and you have done the relationship work that is required. Many people run from one relationship to the other, as soon as the work comes up they leave and try to find that "magical" person who you never have to do relationship work with. There is nothing that turns you into a 3 year old faster than a relationship, twin flame or not. As long as we are in the human form, there will be challenges to grow. Only time tells if someone is your twin flame or not, so I suggest you try out any relationship that is interesting to you and see where it goes. But don't run away as soon as the work together comes up. That is part of it!
