Firstly, what exactly is it that you're allowing? An innate desire, something that is hard-wired into humanity. You can no more allow this than a tidal wave being large and moist.
Secondly, what would you describe as deserving? Well that one is simple:
deserving adj 1 worthy of being given support, a reward, etc. 2 formal (usually deserving of something) worthy of it. deservingly adverb.http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/chambers/features/chref/chref.py/main?query=deserving&title=21st
Worth is probably the loosest way of putting it. Allow me to retort to the idea only the worthy are loved. Think of a tyrant. Any tyrant. Chances are they were/are married. Now as indications of love go I find marriage a pretty paltry one but I can't think of a more tangible indicator at this hour in the morning. These people that have held sway with populations to do as they will with them are not worthy of love, respect or admiration. They are worthy only of fear. Despite this they were married and loved.
Being loved is something that happens. The more you risk your self-worth trying to find it the better your chances. Other than that you are on your own. You will not find yourself worthy because worth isn't quantifiable like a thousand other abstract concepts such as cunning, freedom or justice. That reminds me of a Terry Pratchett quote:
...take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet you act, like there was some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged
