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

Where is my hero?
This week's question comes from Kaia:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been on a journey of personal growth for a loooong time. ;)
I know that men want to be your hero and I really want to be with a guy like that! And I’m a strong woman who knows who she is and what she wants.
Is this a contradiction?
We all want to be the heroines in our stories, but how can a woman identify a guy who does or doesn't want to be our hero?
Love you two!

Dear Kaia,
This is a great question! And we’re sure that many women in our community are wondering the same thing – How do I find a man who wants to be my hero?
We believe that many women who, like you, are

Can’t Start A Fire Without A Spark
This week's question comes from Dale:
Hi Orna & Mathew,
I am following your letters and attended a webinar that was awesome. I love the depth of your perspective! So much of the info I see on dating is superficial and geared towards what women should be doing to 'attract' men and keep them. I'm tired of hearing everything from this point of view! What we should be wearing, saying, doing and not doing. I'm interested in figuring out what my response is to the men I'm dating and how to know if I should pursue investing in a relationship or not.
I'm a Coach myself and very aware of the fact that who we are attracted to are not always the right person for us.

What is it costing you?
This week's question comes from Adrienne:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
Thank you for all you do to spread love around the globe and help people find love. I really liked how you answered a question a few weeks ago when the person asked some version of why do women have to change, and what about the men who are blocked from love.
I appreciate you sharing that each person has a journey to love regardless of their gender, and how it’s what we don’t know that ends up blocking us from the love we desire.
I want to know your thoughts on my situation… I’m a woman in my early 50s and I’ve had my share of relationships, and right now I feel like I’m finally coming into my own.

Do powerful women intimidate men?
This week's question comes from Alison:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
Recently I had something happen to me that has me perplexed and concerned about my love life. A male friend of mine who I respect gave me some feedback about why I seem to struggle finding quality men.
He said that he thought I was a powerful female and that most men are intimidated by me, including him!
While I am not loud, or a vexation to the spirit, I was shocked to learn that this is how I occur to others as I see myself as very shy especially when not in my comfort zone. My question now is, 'How do I soften without loosing my ability to speak up when necessary?'

How to move on from an affair?
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I read your emails regularly, your wisdom is evident, but I rarely see anything that quite relates to my situation....
My husband of 30 years left me 4 years ago. We tried Counseling for 6 months and whilst the Counselor was very positive about our relationship, my husband said he didn't want to save our marriage, and he moved out.
I discovered later that he had been having an affair for almost a year before then - although he has never admitted it to me and pretends he lives alone.
Whilst this all seems pretty normal and too common, things are not quite that straightforward.
We have a business together and still work together every
