This week's question comes from Michelle:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
My heart is so full of gratitude and love for the advice I am receiving from you.
I enjoy reading or listening to them again and again, so insightful and good.
I am 43 and single parent, was married before and now annulled.
I have a question that is bugging my mind. I met a man and fell in so madly in love with him. We became lovers but he broke up with me when he learned I was having a conversation with a guy on Facebook. It has been 5 months after the break up and that time, there was communication, as he wanted us to remain friends. I agreed as the pain was unbearable. Also, I am

Blocks to Love
How do I make love last?
This week's question comes from Connie:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I am a big fan of yours and I’ve been reading your newsletter for over 3 years. I decided it was my turn to ask you a question.
I really resonate with everything you speak about. I do believe that love is inside of me and that I am a catch. To be completely honest, I know I am a great date, and an awesome girlfriend.
What I want to know is how do you make love last?
I seem to be stuck in good to great monogamous relationships. Most of my relationships last for a few years but for one reason or another they end.
I just turned 47 and I’m starting to think that maybe I do have a broken

Red Flags?
This week's question comes from Nicola:
"Hello Beautiful People!
I met literally by accident a guy on Tinder he told me that he has been divorced three times and was engaged another time to someone else. I am wondering should I meet him or should I run screaming in the other direction? :)
Thanks so much, regards and blessings."

Dear Nicola,
Yes, it is important to pay attention to how a man shows up so that you can have a clear picture of who he is. The important question is to know what is actually a red flag and what is not.
When we are coaching our private clients through the dating process we always remind them that the men they are dating do

When is a need too needy?
This week's question comes from Julia:
"Dear Orna and Matthew,
I have been a fan of yours for a long time and the content you are sharing is very inspiring. I have just watched your video “Why Smart Women Stay Single” [link] and I found the points you made totally make sense. However, I have a question after this video…
I understand that a man likes to feel his woman needs him and that he’s her hero, but at the same time when we are too needy? It seems men are scared, feeling lots of pressure, and start running away.
What’s the difference between show him I need him and too needy?
I really appreciate your answer
Thank you."

Why do I fall in love so quickly?
This week's question comes from Emma:
"Dear Orna and Matthew,
I love reading your notes and believe that you give the best dating advice online. I hope you can help me! I am tired of struggling to find love.
Here is my question:
Why do I fall in love so quickly when I find a man fancies me?
I skip over all the stages of examining if the man is right for me, and dive right into the stage of being in a relationship. And once I am in a relationship, I just get too focused in it, and too ignorant to other parts of my life instantly. I need help."

Dear Emma,
Thanks for reaching out to us. We want you to know you are not alone. We hear from many

Re-wire your brain for lasting love…
This week's question comes from Mary:
"Dear Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been following you for many years and I think you give the best dating advice for women. I really appreciate how you tell it like it is and share perspectives from the male side and the female side since you are a couple.
Lately, it’s becoming clear to me that I struggle in my love life because of my parents. It’s not that they were bad parents; it’s just that they didn’t make me a priority. Each was so busy with their careers, all the kids at home, and it was more like the Von Trapp family in the Sound Of Music before Maria came along.
I would watch that movie and longed for a Maria to show up
