If You’re Dating After Being Single For A Long Time, You Need To Know These 11 Things
When you’re considering dating after being single for a long time you can feel anxious about how to get started and wonder what has changed since you last went looking for love.

Am I Destined To Be Alone?
This week's question comes from Maggie:
"Hello Orna and Matthew,
I believe I am destined to be alone.
I am alone in this world and I am going to be that way for the rest of my life. I have been told by some very good psychics that I made a life contract that is solid, and I am not to have a love partner this lifetime. The only glimmer of hope and the reason for this email is that a few of the psychics said there is someone waiting for me. If that is true, then I want to meet him.
Over the years I have tried to change my contract as some psychics have said it was possible. I meditate and believe in a higher power and the power of our inner beings to guide us. Up until now I haven't

“Hello Orna and Matthew,
Thank you for the opportunity to ask for help in my search for love. I really value your advice. I am going to meet someone for the first time and I need help.

“He Keeps Cancelling Our Dates.” What To Do When He Cancels Last Minute.
This week's question comes from Julie:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
How should you 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 you must set the rules early for how you will allow to be treated and I won’t stand for this. He keeps cancelling 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 Sat, but I won’t agree to that.
Thank you"

Dear Julie,
We know it can be frustrating when you set
