This week's question comes from Loretta:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’m a very active, fit, professional 49 year old woman. I seem to be attracted to younger men and them to me (I look younger than I am). The problem is they only want sex, and are not looking for a relationship. How can I meet someone I’m attracted to that would be interested in having a long-term relationship?
My longest relationship was for 13 years. He was the love of my life and my children’s father but he passed away

Where Are the Spiritual Men?
This week's question comes from Sarah:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
I've done a lot of personal growth and think it is an important part of who I am in the world. And yet most of the guys I meet (including my ex-husband) are NOT interested in growing and changing. I want to share my life with someone who wants to grow with me! Do guys like that even exist?

Just Friends?
This week's question comes from Perplexed:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
Love the insightful advice you give so I thought I'd ask for your insight on my situation. I have been out of the dating scene for 7 years due to health challenges. Recently, I've met someone who is helping me overcome these challenges and helping me get my life back. As I've gotten to know this man, I've discovered he has many of the personal qualities I wrote down six months ago when I meditated on finding a soulmate.

Stop Settling for Crumbs!
This week's question comes from Tameka:
Hi, Orna and Matthew,
My "friend" is a former coworker that I have an amazing bond with. He's a recent divorcee (one year this past November). His hitch is that his wife cheated on him, so in his own words, he's a bit "dead on the inside" right now, but we have a great time together.
