12 Positive Signs They Deserve Your Heart

Your love should be earned.

One of the most important realizations any of us can have is that our time, attention, energy, and heart are our most valuable assets. They’re things that we can only “spend” one time, and for that reason, should only be given to people who consistently show us that they‘re deserving.

We talk a lot about red flags to look for in a potential partner, but what are some green flags that show their intentions are in the right place?

1: Their presence makes you feel MORE like yourself, not less.

An important, but often overlooked part of a relationship is how you feel about yourself when you’re in someone’s presence.

Do they give you permission to be your fullest and most authentic self? Do you feel free, comfortable, and at peace? (More on this later).

Do you feel like you can express your most vulnerable and hidden thoughts to them?

Can you share secrets together?

Do you reveal things to them that you’d never tell other people?

Can you be goofy, silly, clumsy, and unfiltered with them, without worrying what they’re going to think?
