This week's question comes from Terry:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
With the holidays approaching I’m just dreading being single. The rest of the year, I’m okay with it. My life is full, I go on plenty of dates, I love my life… once the calendar flips to December it’s like I become a different person… super anxious and uncomfortable getting to know someone new.
I’m stressed out about being single. I hate going on first dates until after Valentine’s Day and I’ve often taken all my profiles down from Thanksgiving through mid-February.
There must be another way, please help!"

Biggest Dating Mistake!
This week's question comes from Stephanie:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’m reaching out because I feel really hurt and I really like the advice the two of you give.
After a few years of not dating at all I decided to put myself out there again and went on a couple dating apps and a dating site. My friends helped me with my profile and my pictures and I was feeling pretty good about all that.
Then the moment came when I published it all and waited to see the guys who would reach out to me.
The 2nd guy to ping me was super hot! I couldn’t believe my luck. We wrote back and forth a few times. Then we spoke on the phone a couple times. He had to leave town for work

You & The Empathic Man…
This week's question comes from Marcie:
“Dear Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been dating a great guy for a few months and he’s really different from the type of man I’ve dated in the past. He clearly loves me deeply and has a sensitive heart. At times I feel like he is so in tune with how I’m feeling and it feels really incredible.
The men I used to date didn’t ever seem to care about me at all, really a bunch of insensitive jerks.
I am so grateful to have him in my life and I don’t want to do anything to lose him, so I’m writing to you for your help and advice.
The problem is that sometimes it seems like he’s not present with me at all. I can’t get a sense of him.

Dating in the workplace
This week's question comes from Jill:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I would love your insights on my situation. At work I’m the boss. I manage a fairly large team and there is a guy I find attractive who works for the company, but does not report directly to me.
He seems interested in me, and even though I wouldn’t describe him as shy he hasn’t yet made a move. I know he’s single. I’ve read and studied about masculine/feminine dynamics and I am really clear that I want a man to lead in a relationship.
How do I do something (if anything) to see if there is something there for me with my co-worker?
Hoping for a connection."

Can I stay single and be happy?
This week's question comes from Iris:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
I know that you two are soulmate coaches and that you probably don’t agree with me but I have to ask anyway. Can’t I just stay single and be happy with my life?
I’m so tired of yearning for a man to fix my life. I’m so tired of all the angst and drama of a relationship. None of my relationships have ever worked out and quite frankly I’m sick of dating.
I want to be happy single! I want to be happy without the worry that I’ve chosen wrong again.
Please help!”

Is There Love At First Sight?
This week's question comes from Kerri:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been following you two for years and I love watching you interact with each other. The love between you is so clear and not like anything I’ve ever seen especially after being together for so many years. I didn’t have good role models when it comes to relationships – it seems that both of my parents have had a hobby of collecting marriages.
Do you believe that Love At First Sight Exists?
I’ve recently met a fellow who I feel so attracted to and safe with and he is moving things forward quickly. I have doubts in my head – can I trust him? Is this real?
What do you think? Can we know “The One”
