One of the most common questions women ask us is about a man in love. It seems that many women are unsure how a man feels about them. They ask us, “When a man falls in love, how does he show it?”
Do you find yourself looking for subtle clues or hidden signs of love and hoping that he is ready to step up and claim you?

8 Signs Your Partner Has Too Much Emotional Baggage For A Relationship
How do you know if the man you’re dating has too much emotional baggage for a relationship?

Do Men Want What They Can’t Have?
This week's question comes from Paula:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,

Help!"
