This week's question comes from Angela:
Hi Orna Matthew,
I love the Love Note each week. They are beautiful notes which teach us how to live in everyday life. I appreciate it.
I like the concept of feminine and masculine energy. Society has mixed these up. I can feel that some men have the initiative energy and some men are weak in having the driving force.
I have some met some men on the internet recently. I wonder how I can balance this feminine energy and welcoming energy in terms of how soon and long I reply to them. I am a passive person. Also, I understand that email contact is not a relationship.
How can I reflect that feminine energy is a receptive

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 all the enlightened, like-minded men hang out at.
We believe that the purpose of an intimate relationship is to grow together personally and spiritually. That the dating process

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 that, I’ve been successful, but it has been at the expense of my personal relationships. I have great friends, however, I really struggle when it comes to allowing a man to get close

How do I not mess it up?
This week's question comes from Sylvia:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
I would like to know about a man I'm interested in. I met a man online and we seemed to hit it off. We've been chatting online and I finally wrote an email to him but he hasn't answered me yet. He told me he wanted to meet and then I haven't heard from him. I really like him and I don't want to mess this up. What do I do!?!
Thank you.

How Do I Find A Good Man?
This week's question comes from Christina:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
How do I balance trying to find a good man with the need to be attracted to him? I'm trying to be open but am getting frustrated because I try to focus more on the profile online but find that I'm not physically attracted to most of them when we meet.
Thanks for your help!
