Absolutely not. Some of those who don't deserve love are right on this forum.

Of course. It's just that not all of us will get it.

Honestly? No. Well I think everyone deserves to be loved by their mother. But there is a lot that goes into being lovABLE. Character. Integrity. (And I am NOT talking about the acquisition of a mega-hottie. That ain't love.) Empathy... Relationship entitlers are the worst of the bunch. They wan the thing. To BE loved. But they don't want to do the thing, DO love. And doing love does not mean just smoochie poochie. It means being a great person, having fun, empathy. Did I mention empathy more than once? Might be because it is important! So I will say it again. Empathy. Being able to see the other person's PoV as more than just a means to ones own wants.

There are some nasty and cruel people out there that doesn't deserve love from an actual human being , however people that treat others well with respect, kindness and put others feelings first etc are quite deserving .

To answer your question no not everyone is.

Yes, but only if you are willing to give love as well. You are only entitled to receive what you are willing to give.

Deserves? No.

Is it a basic human emotional need for most psychologically healthy people to feel cared for and accepted (whether one terms that "love" is up to the individual)? Yep. But it's not of matter of "deserving/not deserving."

No. We live in a "I got mine but it $uck$ to be you" world. This extends to love and relationships as well.

It isn't enough to just find someone. It's equally fulfilling to look at those who don't have it, and not only kick them while they're down, but to continue kicking them to KEEP them down.

I speak from first hand experience to the latter. See my ongoing discussion on this re: online dating. I've been rejected so many times that I've finally given up. Not just on dating, but perhaps on life in general. A life led in solitude where no one so much as remembers your birthday isn't really much of a life worth living.
