This week's question comes from Perplexed:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
Love the insightful advice you give so I thought I'd ask for your insight on my situation. I have been out of the dating scene for 7 years due to health challenges. Recently, I've met someone who is helping me overcome these challenges and helping me get my life back. As I've gotten to know this man, I've discovered he has many of the personal qualities I wrote down six months ago when I meditated on finding a soulmate.
In fact, it's a little unsettling to see this manifest right down to him being a great cook and loving a "green lifestyle." Although he's told me he sees me as a good friend, he also

Too Good to be True?
This week's question comes from Julie:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
I have been getting your emails for several weeks now, and find them very inspirational.
After being hurt, badly, by my ex husband, many years ago, and then again, after a 3 year relationship, which ended a year ago, I have opened up my heart, and taken a leap of faith, in hopes, of finding my real soulmate.
2 months ago, I was browsing through an online dating site, and a picture stopped me in my tracks, the profile, was the most articulated had ever read, and it struck a chord of recognition in my heart. I then tried to contact this man, only to find his profile was taken off, I contacted the

Another guy NOT the one?
This week's question comes from Nicole:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’m reaching out today after many years of listening to you both on your webinars and reading your blog and I’m starting to think that I have a problem that I cannot solve on my own.
It seems that no matter how interested I am at the beginning, I end up deciding that whoever I’m dating is not “The One” for me. Sometimes this happens very quickly, and sometimes it takes a few months.
I haven’t had a significant relationship for over a decade and I’m starting to worry that I’ll never find him, or I’ve already passed him over because of something that I’m doing wrong.
All of my friends are paired

Why Do I Still Love Him?
This week's question comes from Sally:
Dear Orna & Matthew,
I started reading your emails & posts 2 years ago, and today I still find myself reliving the past everyday.
In March of 2010, I thought I had met the man of my dreams (my supervisor at work). We had a great working relationship for 6 years prior to dating. We talked and laughed everyday.
On March 4, 2010, I asked him if he would like to get together for a drink. He agreed.
For the next 2 years we saw each other everyday, but Sunday. We enjoyed going out and cooking dinner together. He even babysat my granddaughter every Tuesday.
In November of 2012 is when things started falling apart. He

How Do I Create Chemistry?
This week's question comes from Julie
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
Is there a book out that is excellent and affordable on how to get a man attracted and hooked on me emotionally, intellectually and create amazing chemistry?
The man who happens to be our child's father recently told me that he is meeting up with his ex for the week. I think I may have some blocks to love. I am now 44. When I met him I got engaged right away and then after being intimate one time got pregnant. I felt very sad thinking I may have made a mistake and I wasn't having lots of chemistry with him. I didn't like that when he smiled you see mostly gums instead of teeth. Plus he doesn't like to

What about my freedom?
This week's question comes from Olivia:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I don’t think I fit into your usual advice seekers. I’m an independent woman who has travelled and worked around the world. I’ve never had a problem meeting men and have had many wonderful lovers. The problem is they fall in love with me and I don’t initially start out thinking I will break their hearts, but inevitably I do.
I do want to find my soulmate, but it seems impossible to find a man who has the freedom to travel the world with me and who I want to marry.
Can I keep my freedom and find my “One?” I don’t know. It doesn’t seem possible to me. I’ve met some wonderful men who were perfect at
