This week's question comes from Liz:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’ve been following you for a few years and I think you have the best dating advice for women.
What I’ve noticed from paying attention to my patterns is that I seem to date two different types of guys: One guy I feel a strong connection with right away and I’m bending over backwards to be available and do things so he likes me, and the other is chasing after me, is nice, but I don’t feel the same spark of chemistry that I do with the other type of guy.
I’ve always thought things would be great if I could just get a guy that I really like to like me back, but so far that’s not how it works out for

Dating Advice: Are You Stuck On A Schmuck?
This week's dating question comes from JT:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
To my delight, I have already been doing all the things you mention in your trainings to bring in the "One." Here's my issue though and I would really appreciate some concrete instruction of what to do about it. My heart is still stuck on my ex husband!
Tragic I know. I'm a capable, strong, open, generous, beautiful 52-year old woman, but this man is still on my mind, daily. I am ready for new love but something keeps pulling me back.
He used my heart as a punching bag (toward the end of our 22 years). I could list dozens of reasons that he is bad for me, but I still love him. It's not

Diagnosing your dates?
This week's question comes from Liz:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I am writing to you because I really like how you give it to the person straight up each week in your ezine. I am divorced for several years, and have dated A LOT! I’ve had a few boyfriends since my divorce and I guess what I want to know is why would I be attracting the same kind of men into my life?
I find that the men who show up for me are either more interested in sex than a relationship, or they are narcissists, sociopaths or a combination of the two. I’ve listened to a few of your webinars and that makes me think that there must be something with me that I’m attracting these men over and over

Can we just be friends?
This week's question comes from Michelle:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
My heart is so full of gratitude and love for the advice I am receiving from you.
I enjoy reading or listening to them again and again, so insightful and good.
I am 43 and single parent, was married before and now annulled.
I have a question that is bugging my mind. I met a man and fell in so madly in love with him. We became lovers but he broke up with me when he learned I was having a conversation with a guy on Facebook. It has been 5 months after the break up and that time, there was communication, as he wanted us to remain friends. I agreed as the pain was unbearable. Also, I am

How do I make love last?
This week's question comes from Connie:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I am a big fan of yours and I’ve been reading your newsletter for over 3 years. I decided it was my turn to ask you a question.
I really resonate with everything you speak about. I do believe that love is inside of me and that I am a catch. To be completely honest, I know I am a great date, and an awesome girlfriend.
What I want to know is how do you make love last?
I seem to be stuck in good to great monogamous relationships. Most of my relationships last for a few years but for one reason or another they end.
I just turned 47 and I’m starting to think that maybe I do have a broken

Is it time to just give up?
This week's question comes from Traci:
Hello Orna and Matthew,
Thank you in advance for answering my question. I’ve been struggling with this for a while and don’t know what to do.
I have had a tendency to start relationships with unavailable men, so I am trying to stop that, but is there just a point where you have to give up? When you live in a remote area where you are involved in just about every thing you can be and still have no ability to meet anyone, is it just time to give up?

Dear Traci,
Thanks for reaching out to us and we hear the desperation that you are feeling. It can be hard when it seems like no matter what you do, you can’t meet
