My b-friend has many female friends and he is attracted to one of them but doesn't want to just jump into a relationship with her before knowing if she is the right girl for him. So that got me thinking how does one know that they have found the right person

It's hard to tell because God doesn't speak audibly to most people. Many people make the pitfall of judging by what they feel God is telling them. Don't go by what you feel...when did God ever speak to any of the prophets just by a random feeling? No...if you're romantically interested in someone, I guarantee you'll feel something. It's called being smitten. It's not necessarily from the Holy Spirit. I have a strong feeling right now called being hungry...is that from the Holy Spirit? Anyway, yeah, don't go by feelings.

Instead, read the Bible. It's called God's Word for a reason; He speaks words through it. The Bible says lots of things about marriage; does this relationship fit into what the Bible says? If you don't know the girl well enough to know, then it's time to wait until you know her better.

One thing is for sure.
We won't know who is "the right one" without getting to know them.
This entails finding out if they are even interested in the first place.
Since God makes "the right one", it must be known by both parties.
So I think the first step is getting to know them, and letting them know you are interested.
Maybe once you know them better, you won't be anymore.
I wouldn't worry about knowing if someone "was the right one", before asking them out.
How would you know?
