This week's question comes from Julia:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
Question: If I have no chemistry with a guy I’ve met, how long do I wait to see if attraction develops between us?
I have met a very nice man. We share some of the same hobbies, like books and music. He is retired and has tons of time; I work full time and also have a photography business and am very busy with limited time. This is sometimes a problem, but my real question is about sexual attraction. How soon do you think you know?
I thought we had some chemistry but now I’m not so sure (at least on my part). He says he is attracted to me, but I am having trouble recognizing his cues. He is a very

How To Know If He’s Falling For You Or If It’s Just Wishful Thinking On Your Part
We get a lot of questions about how to tell if the man you’re currently dating is falling for you. The question usually includes elaborate details about a particular behavior he has, asking us “What does it really mean?” It seems a lot of women are confused about what a man’s behavior really means and are looking for a guide to understand this mysterious gender.
Many men will state upfront that they are not interested in getting married again or that they don’t really want anything serious and yet they will continue to ask you out on a date. Contradictions like this can drive you crazy.
To begin with, we want to point out that most men’s behavior is pretty easy to

Are You Tired Of Being Alone? Here’s How To Turn Your Focus So You Don’t Become Bitter
We hear from so many women who are tired of being alone and are looking for a new way to create love. It’s easy to get caught in the mindset trap that there is something wrong with you (or the world) because you are single.

It’s time to take a new look at loneliness so that instead of feeling tired of being alone, you can re-frame the whole experience into something that spurs you on towards the

Do I Have A Twin Flame?
This week's question comes from Madison:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been reading and watching everything you two do for years now. I love how you interact with one another. It’s clear there is so much love there. I printed out a photo of you two from your website years ago where you’re kissing in front of a merry-go-round and I’ve had it on my vision board with the words, “Twin Flame” as a headline at the top of it.
You give the best dating advice for women that I’ve found anywhere. So here’s my question – do I have a twin flame and how do I find him?
I want to be with the person who gets me and loves me and who I know I can count on. I want that deep soulful,

How do I find a relationship ready man?
This week's question comes from Jocelyn:
"Dear Orna and Matthew,
I always seem to meet men who I date for a couple of months then unexpectedly break up with me. I never find a connection with these men. They seemed to be interested… then they disappear. I am never able to form a bond with them. They don’t give it a chance.
What am I doing wrong?"

Hi Jocelyn,
Thanks for your question. What’s interesting about what you shared with us is that you don’t seem very interested in these men that you’ve been dating. If you’re not forming a bond with them, then they are doing you a favor by ending it.
You did not share a whole lot with us, so it’s difficult
