This week's question comes from Naomi:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
Will I ever find love again?
I hope you can help me. I’ve been a long time reader and really think you give great advice. I have been feeling a lot of despair lately with the state of the world. Dating really scares me and I’m not sure where to get started. I married young and he passed unexpectedly in an accident several years ago. I have been alone since and haven’t dated anyone seriously.
As a single mom, I often wonder if any man would ever be interested in me, as I have to put my children first.
What are your thoughts? Do you think that people get a second chance at love?"

Hi Naomi,
We’re sorry to

Are you clear on how to date so you’re in service of your relationship goals?

How Long Should I Wait For Him?
This week's question comes from Suzie:
"Dear Orna and Matthew,
The crux of my question is this: How long should I wait for him?
My boyfriend and I have been together for a couple of years and I love him and yet I don’t know if it is ever going to work out. He is still dealing with his ex and working through custody issues with their 7 yr. old son.

Tired Of Being Lonely And Alone For The Holidays?
This week's question comes from Lily
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I am so tired of being lonely and alone and with the Holidays coming up I don’t know what to do.
This time of year is a really hard time for me. My husband filed for divorce just before Christmas 8 years ago and I can’t forgive him for ruining this time for me. He said he felt like I didn’t give him any space to be himself – I made more money than him and he was always resentful of that.
We didn’t have any children so I can’t make the holidays about them. We got married in our early 20’s and now it feels like time is running out for me. Lately, I find myself avoiding my family as much as possible. I’m tired of the
