This week's question comes from Julie:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
I have been getting your emails for several weeks now, and find them very inspirational.
After being hurt, badly, by my ex husband, many years ago, and then again, after a 3 year relationship, which ended a year ago, I have opened up my heart, and taken a leap of faith, in hopes, of finding my real soulmate.
2 months ago, I was browsing through an online dating site, and a picture stopped me in my tracks, the profile, was

Dating After Divorce
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. In October I told him that I had feelings for him, and he said he just needed more time to get past the one-year mark and through the holidays. The "confusing" part of the

Why Do I Still Love Him?
This week's question comes from Sally:
Dear Orna & Matthew,
I started reading your emails & posts 2 years ago, and today I still find myself reliving the past everyday.
In March of 2010, I thought I had met the man of my dreams (my supervisor at work). We had a great working relationship for 6 years prior to dating. We talked and laughed everyday.
On March 4, 2010, I asked him if he would like to get together for a drink. He agreed.
For the next 2 years we saw each other

"Hi Orna and Matthew,
Is there a book out that is excellent and affordable on how to get a man attracted and hooked on me emotionally, intellectually and create amazing chemistry?
The man who happens to be our child's father recently told me that he is meeting up with his ex for the week. I think I may have some blocks to love. I am now 44. When I met him I got engaged right away and then after being intimate one time got pregnant. I felt very sad

Losing Your Enthusiasm for Dating?
This week's question comes from Therese:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
My enthusiasm is waning. Being a 58 year-old gal that sees the positive aspects of online dating is the sole thing that allows me to not give up hope. I have yet to meet or find any man that has any prospect of a solid relationship in my time that I have participated in online dating. This would be more than 5 years. The dating "gurus" continue to extoll that finding an eligible man is still possible. I yearn for a man that is

Like Minded Men?
This week's question comes from Linda
"Dear Orna and Matthew,
I am an attractive, fit 64 female and want a life companion and friend/lover. Have not dated in years, how do I connect with like-minded men?"

Dear Linda,
Thank you for your direct question. We get asked this question a lot, and not to sound off putting, but you meet "like-minded men" at all the same places that you meet any other kind of man: Out in the world. There is not some special Starbucks or supermarket that
