If you want to know how to love a man so that he loves and adores you, and never wants to leave, you’ll want to take time to discover what a man really needs from a relationship.

“He Keeps Cancelling Our Dates.” What To Do When He Cancels Last Minute.
This week's question comes from Julie:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
How should you respond to a man that cancels last minute? He first did this months ago and it took me a while to agree to another date. I have now agreed and today, the day of the date, he has another reason. I know that you must set the rules early for how you will allow to be treated and I won’t stand for this. He keeps cancelling our dates. My time is valuable, and I deserve respect. So, how should I respond to him in a manner that is not emotional but will let him know this? He has asked if we can reschedule for Sat, but I won’t agree to that.
Thank you"
