One of the most enjoyable parts of dating is getting to know someone new and discovering what makes them tick. Asking the right questions to get to know someone can reveal who they are at a soul level, as well as if they are a potential match for you.
The standby of swapping online dating horror or hilarious stories is not an ideal way to connect with someone new. Sharing these experiences doesn’t give you any information about them. Instead, you’ll want to discover what their dreams and goals are, and the kind of lifestyle they are looking to create with their ideal mate.
Most people do not enjoy dating. A recent survey conducted by Style in The Times of London

The Truth About How Opposites Attract & Relationship Compatibility
What is relationship compatibility and is it contradictory to the idea that opposites are attracted to each other? As you search for your soulmate should you focus on compatibility or on differences? What truly makes for a happy and healthy relationship?

“He Keeps Canceling Our Dates.” What To Do When He Cancels Last Minute.
This week's question comes from Julie:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
How should I respond to a man that cancels last minute? He first did this months ago and it took me a while to agree to another date. I have now agreed and today, the day of the date, he has another reason. I know that it’s important to set the rules early for how you will allow yourself to be treated and I won’t stand for this. He keeps canceling our dates. My time is valuable, and I deserve respect. So, how should I respond to him in a manner that is not emotional but will let him know this? He has asked if we can reschedule for Saturday, but I won’t agree to that.
Thank you”

Do Men Want What They Can’t Have?
This week's question comes from Paula:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
Do men want what they can’t have?
Here's my pattern… every single time I allow myself to TRULY love a man and trust/become vulnerable/believe he loves me back – he leaves!
All different types of men, wildly variable circumstances and timelines, but each time I chose to love – they leave. Of course, the ones I don't care about I can't get rid of.
I just want to know, do men only want what they can't have?!?
Help!”

This week's question comes from Laura:
“Hello Orna & Matthew,
What soulmate signs should I be looking for? I met a man online a few months ago and I’m confused about what he wants. I wonder what are his intentions for me? How do I even ask about his intentions?
We met on a dating site and he’s an attorney who lives in Michigan, while I live in Indiana.
We exchanged pictures and talked for a few weeks. I felt we had a strong connection and I really thought he could be my soulmate. He talked about driving to meet me, but to make a long story short, it never happened. I didn’t hear from him again until December last year.
He says he wishes he had made the
