This week's question comes from Lisa:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
I've enjoyed your work for a while now and have a question.
I’ve been on the self-growth and healing path for most of my lifetime and specifically working on relationship stuff for the past 5 years.
After healing through my divorce in 2012 and a toxic relationship later. I believe I've met someone really truly sent for me. We've been seeing each other about 6 months and it is by far and away the healthiest relationship I've ever had, and probably the first with a self-responsible, emotionally fluent, quality MAN. It’s been an interesting road for me in learning how to trust and receive and I'm proud of

Is Your Picker Broken?
This week's question comes from Susan:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
I have been getting your emails ever since I subscribed last month after I purchased The Soulmate Shortcut™. It's a great book, thank you so much for writing it.
I still worry though. My friend and I are in our 30s and feel the same. We keep only ever attracting the wrong men, who seem great in the beginning only to let us down in the end.
My last relationship was with a guy who was so romantic, he proposed to me. He was really focused on our relationship. However, he was trying to turn me into what he wanted me to be rather than appreciating me for who I am. He had no interest in me as a person and

Terrified of Commitment?
This week's question comes from Kelli:
Hello to you both,
I love reading your Love Notes Weekly - thank you so much to you both for sharing all of your insights!
Here is where I've become stuck in the dating world: after leaving a relationship of 6+ years, I have found myself in a position where I'm not entirely sure what I want. I've become very good at dating a different variety of guys, very good at being open and warm and flirtatious with men, yet when it comes to the point where we need to 'define' our relationship, I've developed a pattern where I then abandon the relationship out of fear.
On the one hand, I think this may be due to myself and the guy not

Is He My Soulmate?
This week's question comes from Eva:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
First off, I'd like to thank you for what you two do. Every single weekly newsletter I've read has enlightened me in a profound way.
These questions pertain to soul mates. I feel so blessed because I have met two so far in this life and we have learned a tremendous amount from each other already. I tried having a relationship with one of them twice and we realized we are in fact soul mates, but we are not destined to be lovers. We still have a very strong bond and nothing is awkward between us. He is a friend I know I will grow old with. It took a lot of time, but I am finally happy with the situation and

How do I get him to see what I see?
This week's question comes from Penny:
Orna and Matthew,
I am writing to you because I really admire you both. I have listened to many of your interviews and I’m clear that I want what you have. I have been on and off again with a guy...and I am clear that I want it to work out between us. I hear you say, "Don't settle" and I don't feel like I am, I really love this guy and in my heart I feel he is my soulmate. He recently broke it off with me saying that he needed time to focus on his career and that I was a distraction. I'm giving him space, but I'm not sure what else to do... in a way I feel like I'm waiting for him to realize what we have together. You two say I

Love at any age – Part II
This week's question comes from Sheila:
Thank you. I know that's the answer yet I just don't know how! That lack of truly understanding how is what cages me in, blocking me from having the self-confidence to be open to the possibility of love. Having been soooo devastated by actions of primary relationship (parents) that it destroyed my marriage. My resentment and inner rage, and the guilt and shame I clothe myself in, keeps me lonely and hungry for love. I want out of my cage into life's freedom.
Thank you for hearing me!
