It can be hard to tell if you like someone or if you’re just settling because of a lack of options. It’s like when you go to the grocery store and there’s only one type of cereal left – it may not be your favorite, but it’s better than nothing. If you find yourself in this situation, try to take a step back and ask yourself how much you truly care about this person. Do they make you happy? Do they bring out the best in you? If the answer is yes, then chances are that it’s genuine love and not just settling for what’s available.
