This week's question comes from Christine:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I have been reading your newsletters for years and I think you give the best dating advice for women. One of the things I like the most is that I get input from both a man and a woman! I am super curious what you will think of my question. Why do men love bitches more than nice girls?
I know I’m an attractive woman – getting dates is not hard for me. I do end up being broken-hearted by the men I really like and I know I’ve broken my fair share of men’s hearts too.
We often hear about the “nice” guy who is not given his due by women – but what about the Nice Gal?
When I meet a guy I REALLY like I

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. And when you commiserate with your single friends you hear the same dating and relationship horror stories that you’ve experienced yourself.
It’s enough to make you bitter about relationships and once again committed to your career instead of finding your soulmate.
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

How To Choose A Good Husband?
This week's question comes from Alisha:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I have been gobbling up everything you two put out for many years. I love seeing how you interact with one another. It gives me hope to see you two, the hope that someday I can have lasting-love.
One of the things I’m unsure about is how to choose a good husband, someone I can really trust. It seems like a daunting task to select a partner for life – and yet that is exactly what I want. I want great love, one that will last a lifetime.
Is there a set criteria that I need to know? Is there something specific that I must include? I’m always afraid that I’ll miss something really important. Like when I

Lasting Love After Divorce
This week's question comes from Irene:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been following ‘Love On Purpose’ for 6yrs now. I’ve learned so much.
I want to know how to bounce back and create lasting love after divorce. I was married for 17 years and divorced my husband 4 years ago. He is an addict and broke my heart for the last time. I finally got sick of his issues and kicked him out. I’ve been focused on raising my kids and now they’re in college and getting ready for college.
I really haven’t dated much. I did have a couple of boyfriends but they were never serious relationship material. Heck, I never even told my kids about them.
The thing is, I’m tired of being

This week's question comes from Katy:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I love the advice you give out on your blog and in your webinars. I’m wondering what you think about texting… is it good or bad? Is it bad for me to text a guy I like?
How can I text with a guy so that it moves the relationship forward and doesn’t turn him off?

I Like Him But…?
This week's question comes from Debbi:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
It’s been about 2 years since my ex and I split and I took some time to heal and look within before I started dating. Now that I’ve put myself out there I’m going on quite a few dates with different men.
There’s one guy in particular that I like, except he talks a lot. I can get around that, but he also interrupts me when I’m speaking. It seems I can’t even finish 2 sentences without him interrupting me. I don’t even get to finish my story or make my point even if I’m answering a question he has asked me.
I find him attractive and there are some really great qualities about him that I like. We
