This week's question comes from Olivia:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I don’t think I fit into your usual advice seekers. I’m an independent woman who has travelled and worked around the world. I’ve never had a problem meeting men and have had many wonderful lovers. The problem is they fall in love with me and I don’t initially start out thinking I will break their hearts, but inevitably I do.
I do want to find my soulmate, but it seems impossible to find a man who has the freedom to travel the

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

Do I intimidate men?
This week's question comes from Debi:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I have been following the two of you for a very long time and I just love seeing how you relate to each other. It’s obvious how much you love each other and I think you’re such a great example of a loving couple.
I’m curious about your thoughts about what men want. I hear from all my friends that because I’m a powerful woman that I intimidate men.
It’s clear that Orna is a powerful woman and since here you both are – one man,

Can chemistry change?
This week's question comes from Kimberley:
Orna and Matthew,
I have been reading your weekly Love Notes for a few years now and I think I’m getting clearer on why my marriage did not work, and what I can do differently.
The problem for me is that most men I’m attracted to are much younger than me (by at least a decade and more), and they are players. I know they are not looking for a relationship. The men around my age are nice men, but I just don’t find them attractive.
My dad was a

How Long To Wait For Attraction?
This week's question comes from Julia:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
Thank you both for your work ...I appreciate all you do. Question: I have met a very nice man. We share some of the same hobbies like books and music. He is retired and has tons of time; I work full time and also have a photography business and am very busy with limited time. This is sometimes a problem but my real question is about sexual attraction. How soon do you think you know? I thought we had some chemistry but now not so

Why can’t I find someone?
This week's question comes from Claudine:
I enjoy your newsletter every week! I have not been in a relationship in more than ten years and I feel that something is blocking me. I am a 46 year-old professional woman. I have tried asking people to fix me up and dating online. I do have a ten-year old son and I work a lot (during certain times of the year). However, I have been able to make myself available for dating. I look around and say . . . "Everyone can find someone, why can't I?"
I
