This week's question comes from Katy:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I love the advice you give out on your blog and in your webinars. I’m wondering what you think about texting… is it good or bad? Is it bad for me to text a guy I like?
How can I text with a guy so that it moves the relationship forward and doesn’t turn him off?
I feel great when I see this one guy, but in between dates I feel awkward texting with him.
Do you have any advice for me?
Thank you!"

I Like Him But…?
This week's question comes from Debbi:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
It’s been about 2 years since my ex and I split and I took some time to heal and look within before I started dating. Now that I’ve put myself out there I’m going on quite a few dates with different men.
There’s one guy in particular that I like, except he talks a lot. I can get around that, but he also interrupts me when I’m speaking. It seems I can’t even finish 2 sentences without him interrupting me. I don’t even get to

Self-Care Is NOT Always Sexy…
As wildfires rage around California we are grateful that many in our Love On Purpose Community have reached out to ask if we are okay. Yes, we are safe and sound thank goodness, however many of our friends are displaced from their homes and several have lost theirs. It’s tragic.

You & The Empathic Man…
This week's question comes from Marcie:
“Dear Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been dating a great guy for a few months and he’s really different from the type of man I’ve dated in the past. He clearly loves me deeply and has a sensitive heart. At times I feel like he is so in tune with how I’m feeling and it feels really incredible.
The men I used to date didn’t ever seem to care about me at all, really a bunch of insensitive jerks.
I am so grateful to have him in my life and I don’t want to

Do Smart Women Suffer More In Love?
This week's question comes from Rachel:
"Hi O&M,
I love your emails and work; I have been on your list for years. I enjoy watching you two interact with one another. I know I’m a smart woman, perhaps too smart for my own good.
I find I’m always questioning my choices in men. I’m constantly wondering if he is the right guy for me or not. So what happens is that I get overly critical and nitpicky looking for mistakes. And yet I know deep down that I don’t want to settle for just okay.
