Do They Deserve Your Love? 15 Questions That Reveal The Answer

Many will desire you, few will deserve you.

The truth of life and love is that many people along the way will desire you. They’ll desire to be in your presence, desire to get to know you, desire you based on physical attraction, and desire your affection in return.

They won’t, all, however — deserve you.

Before we dive into this discussion, I need to make an important clarification:

Humans inherently deserve love and respect.

In no way am I saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be loved. This isn’t about whether or not the person you’re dating is “inherently worthy” of the gift of your love and commitment.

A relationship, however, is perhaps the highest honor we can bestow upon another person. It’s quite literally the act of choosing this one person above all others and dedicating your life to them. I cannot think of a greater compliment than that.

For that reason, someone must deserve to receive this honor from you. You can recognize they are worthy of love and respect, but they still need to show you why they should be the person that you give your most valuable gifts to.
