This week's question comes from Veronica:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I hope you can give me some advice to help me!
I have been single and without a relationship for the last 8 years (since my divorce).
Sometimes I really feel alone and it is getting sad. :( I am 36 now and don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life.
I don’t know what to do. I am pretty, smart, and kind but I don’t know what else to do.
Thanks for your comments and your help.

Dear Veronica,
This is a pretty big question and seeing as you didn’t give us much information we’ll have to cover a lot of ground. We want to start by saying that 36 is still really young. We didn’t meet

Why can’t I find someone?
This week's question comes from Claudine:
I enjoy your newsletter every week! I have not been in a relationship in more than ten years and I feel that something is blocking me. I am a 46 year-old professional woman. I have tried asking people to fix me up and dating online. I do have a ten-year old son and I work a lot (during certain times of the year). However, I have been able to make myself available for dating. I look around and say . . . "Everyone can find someone, why can't I?"
I do not have a defeatist attitude normally, but I am starting to feel that maybe it is just not in the cards for me. I do not want to feel that way but it has been such a long time

How Do I Not Settle?
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!

Thanks for reaching out to us! We’re glad to hear that you are focusing on YOU and not immediately rushing into another relationship.

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

Can I change who I attract?
This week's question comes from Milike:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
Whenever I start being more intimate in a relationship and want to get more connected and more intimate they leave me without a real reason. I know that they like me but they don't want to have a relationship. Maybe I don't see the red flags maybe I'm not in my feminine energy (I am working on that).
I have a question if you can answer. I think I feel not good enough, not worthy of love and I don't trust the flow of the relationship. My father wasn't there for me to solve my problems and show me the solutions when I was a child; my mother was doing that for me. I don't know if this is the reason but
