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

How Do I Create Chemistry?
This week's question comes from Julie
"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?

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

Is long-lasting love in the cards for me?
This week's question comes from Anna
"Orna and Matthew,
Thank you for your Love Notes. I hope you can help me.
I’m in my mid-40s and I’m starting to think that a great relationship is not in the cards for me…
I was married briefly in my 20’s, but that was just foolish young love. We broke it off after less than a year. Since then, I’ve struggled to find a man who is willing or able to commit to me. Honestly, I’ve put most of my energy into my career the last 15 years.
Because of
