One of the hardest parts of dating is telling a guy who is asking you out again that you don’t like him. You’re clear that the two of you are not a match, and you don’t want to come across as mean or cruel. How do you tell a guy you don’t like him without hurting his feelings?
Telling someone you don’t like them isn’t the same as being told by someone they aren’t interested in you, but that doesn’t make it any more pleasant. You’ve probably been dumped by someone who didn’t do it in the nicest way, and you don’t want that kind of dating karma on your hands. Mastering the uncomfortable conversation is one of the skills you’ll need to develop for a loving partnership to

Worried About Giving Too Much In Your Next Relationship? Practice These 9 Skills Now So You’re Prepared
Do you have a habit of giving too much in your relationships? Have you felt like your needs didn’t count or matter to a significant other? Or have you gone into sacrifice, giving and giving to your partner wishing and hoping he would reciprocate?

Why Do I Keep Dreaming About My Ex?
This week's question comes from Nina:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I keep dreaming about my ex and it has me really confused.

The problem is… I keep

He says he wishes he had made the
