There is nothing you can do that will guarantee you’re loved.

Nobody is coming around the corner to love you just because.
But what you can do to put yourself in the best position to receive love is to be the best version of yourself.
You need to become vulnerable and open to the potential wounds that love can inflict. By being open, honest and true to who you are, you show the real you.
You want to operate with integrity, dignity and from your heart. Women appreciate a man that can be a man. You will need to own your mistakes and your flaws. Your shortcomings and your issues. Men appreciate women that can hold it down like a real woman.
You will also need to operate from a position of selflessness. Loving unconditionally and without the expectation of being loved in return. If you come from a place of beauty, kindness, and truth, there is no reason your partner wouldn’t begin to care deeply for you and ultimately develop feelings of love.
Certain men and women have different agendas in terms of what they want out of a relationship. Some will seek material gifts, cash, elevation of social status, a more comfortable and protective living environment for their children. Initially, this will be hard to see but as you move forward, cracks will appear in their armor and it will be apparent they’re operating from an unethical stance.
Lastly, it is important to make the distinction between love and lust. Being in love and loving unconditionally. These are feelings that are derived from polar opposite origins.
Lust is sexual and it satiates your needs and your ego. It is the desire to satisfy oneself. It is also the pursuit of physical pleasure. It is also no doubt an act of connection and as real love solidifies itself, your intimacy will be more meaningful. Sex with someone you truly love is more pleasurable than the flings. The flings may be exciting at first but it fades quickly. It was just an experience.
Love is unconditional and selfless. It is not based upon satiating one’s insecurities nor propping up one's ego. It’s an unconditional extension of care.
Allow yourself to be loved. Be the best version of yourself that you can be.
Come from that place of beauty, kindness, and truth. Love will come to you and it will be beautiful.
