This week's question comes from Kathy:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
Rhonda Britten would say synchronicity... I am not sure. I have gone to Rhonda's fearless living seminar a year ago at Kripalu, loved it, did her 12 module/week fearless living workshop with a coach, Larissa. So many things have changed for me in the year. I went back again this past weekend.
I open my email this morning, and I have a newsletter from you! I must have gotten on your list somehow through something in my journey this year.
I am working on it, and still working with Larissa. But during this weekend at Kripalu, Rhonda brought up relationships a few times, and she brought up things that

Is Your Picker Broken?
This week's question comes from Susan:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
I have been getting your emails ever since I subscribed last month after I purchased The Soulmate Shortcut™. It's a great book, thank you so much for writing it.
I still worry though. My friend and I are in our 30s and feel the same. We keep only ever attracting the wrong men, who seem great in the beginning only to let us down in the end.
My last relationship was with a guy who was so romantic, he proposed to me. He was really focused on our relationship. However, he was trying to turn me into what he wanted me to be rather than appreciating me for who I am. He had no interest in me as a person and

Terrified of Commitment?
This week's question comes from Kelli:
Hello to you both,
I love reading your Love Notes Weekly - thank you so much to you both for sharing all of your insights!
Here is where I've become stuck in the dating world: after leaving a relationship of 6+ years, I have found myself in a position where I'm not entirely sure what I want. I've become very good at dating a different variety of guys, very good at being open and warm and flirtatious with men, yet when it comes to the point where we need to 'define' our relationship, I've developed a pattern where I then abandon the relationship out of fear.
On the one hand, I think this may be due to myself and the guy not

Meant to Be?
This week's question comes from Tarryn:
Dear Orna and Mathew.
I have a question if you don't mind. All these techniques, internal work, etc. are great and I truly follow it and try to practice this work. However if you're with the wrong partner (for instance if I'm with a boyfriend who isn't my match/soulmate) then I could do all the internal work in the world and we still wouldn't be able to have that soulmate/relationship we want correct?
It just frustrates me that this work is incredibly great but it really wouldn't make a difference if you're with the wrong person for you? Would love to hear your opinions. For instance, even if you would have done all this

Won’t love just happen when I’m ready?
This week's question comes from Monalisa:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’m wondering if you think one has to look for love, or it will come when you are ready? Is it like work on yourself so you can allow it to find you, or do you have to actively go out there and look and try things?
I think you give the best dating advice for women and so I’m super curious how you will respond. Please pick my question to answer.
All the best!

Hi Monalisa,
Thank you for your question – and because you asked us to pick you – we did!
Love does not magically happen when someone is "ready." Just like the dishwasher will not magically fix itself one day, or world peace

Is He My Soulmate?
This week's question comes from Eva:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
First off, I'd like to thank you for what you two do. Every single weekly newsletter I've read has enlightened me in a profound way.
These questions pertain to soul mates. I feel so blessed because I have met two so far in this life and we have learned a tremendous amount from each other already. I tried having a relationship with one of them twice and we realized we are in fact soul mates, but we are not destined to be lovers. We still have a very strong bond and nothing is awkward between us. He is a friend I know I will grow old with. It took a lot of time, but I am finally happy with the situation and
