This week's question comes from Audrey:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
Thank you very much for the video. I love watching the two of you interact. It's truly a pleasure to see and to know that this kind of relationship can be found out there because that's very much what I want.
I’d like your feedback on this because I feel like I’m losing my mind and there are days it's quite upsetting. I have gone on multiple dates (from online sites such as plentyoffish, okcupid, and Tinder), with different guys (4 first dates off POF, 1 of which lead to a 2 week relationship before I quickly broke it off. 5-6 first dates off okcupid with 2 second dates before I decided that we

Ready to date again?
This week's question comes from Anna:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I really value your help and insight about dating and relationships.
I left an unhappy relationship last summer. Since then, I've started to work on MY job, health, and happiness, but I still have a ways to go in improving those things.
Here is my question: How do I know when I'm ready to date again?
Thanks!

Is love only for successful people?
This week's question comes from Nita:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
Thank you so much for your honesty and all the wisdom you're sharing in your newsletter and elsewhere. I've learned so much from you. I have also been doing inner child dates after I saw the idea on your website and they are brilliant!
My question for you is about knowing when you're truly ready to make love a priority in your life. I've done a lot of work on releasing the past and I'm proud to say that I'm now at a place where I have taken responsibility for my past relationship experiences and have released the resentment I have felt toward my ex-partners (after all they only reflected back to me

How do I get him back?
This week's question comes from Sue:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
I need your help.
We dated for 6 years; we had our ups and downs but always managed to get past them. I noticed his feelings shifting in December. He pulled back a little but we got past that and we're making plans for the up coming months.
Then February 13 out of nowhere he ended things. I tried to get back with him but he seems totally uninterested. Just recently when I reached out he seemed to soften a bit, but still has not made any move to contact or see me.
I'm at a loss. I see him in my future but I do not know what to do, every program says I should not contact him nor should I tell him

How do I meet a quality man?
This week's question comes from Rhonda:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
I have a question for you.
I am a 49-year-old female who has been divorced for a year and a half. I was in a 22-year marriage that had more downs than ups. I tried to make it work...I stuck with it, probably for too long, but when I left I was ready and have not looked back. I harbor no ill will towards my ex. I recognize the fact that I went through what I went through in order to make me the person that I am today.
I have done a lot of internal work...have figured out what I want and what I don't want for my next relationship.
My problem is that I am having a very hard time meeting

How do I break my pattern?
This week's question comes from Liz:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been following you for a few years and I think you have the best dating advice for women.
What I’ve noticed from paying attention to my patterns is that I seem to date two different types of guys: One guy I feel a strong connection with right away and I’m bending over backwards to be available and do things so he likes me, and the other is chasing after me, is nice, but I don’t feel the same spark of chemistry that I do with the other type of guy.
I’ve always thought things would be great if I could just get a guy that I really like to like me back, but so far that’s not how it works out for
