This week's question comes from Nora:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’m tired of dating and meeting guys who aren’t serious about a relationship. Please tell me how do you date for your soulmate?
I am reaching out, as I’m a hot 40-something-year-old woman who has a lot to give. I know I’m a catch and yet all the men I go out with don’t really pursue me or don’t even seem interested in a relationship. In the beginning, it seems as if they are really into me, but it peters out quickly and I’m left wondering what is going on.
Apparently, there is something I don’t know about how to find the right guy for me. I don’t need a man; I simply want to share my life with my

Attract Your Soulmate
What’s Going On When You Feel Magnetically Drawn To Someone?
There are moments when you feel magnetically drawn to someone that sets you off thinking you may have met your soulmate. So, what’s going on when this happens? Is a feeling really a sign from the universe that you’ve finally met The One, or is there something more important going on?
You know the experience, you walk into a room of people you don’t know, and one person stands out from the rest – like they’ve got a white-hot spotlight on them… And everyone else is just background extras in your own personal movie (they don’t pop for you at all).
You and this stranger connect, and the conversation flows easily – it’s almost as if you’ve known each other forever.

25 Common Sense Questions To Get To Know Someone At A Deep, Soul Level
One of the most enjoyable parts of dating is getting to know someone new and discovering what makes them tick. Asking the right questions to get to know someone can reveal who they are at a soul level, as well as if they are a potential match for you.
The standby of swapping online dating horror or hilarious stories is not an ideal way to connect with someone new. Sharing these experiences doesn’t give you any information about them. Instead, you’ll want to discover what their dreams and goals are, and the kind of lifestyle they are looking to create with their ideal mate.
Most people do not enjoy dating. A recent survey conducted by Style in The Times of London

The Truth About How Opposites Attract & Relationship Compatibility
What is relationship compatibility and is it contradictory to the idea that opposites are attracted to each other? As you search for your soulmate should you focus on compatibility or on differences? What truly makes for a happy and healthy relationship?
Most dating sites use an algorithm that matches you with the people who have similar interests as you. It’s common for people to end up in a relationship with someone who is of the same race, economic, or educational background, and those who enjoy similar hobbies. Are these the characteristics you should focus on for relationship compatibility?

“He Keeps Canceling Our Dates.” What To Do When He Cancels Last Minute.
This week's question comes from Julie:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
How should I respond to a man that cancels last minute? He first did this months ago and it took me a while to agree to another date. I have now agreed and today, the day of the date, he has another reason. I know that it’s important to set the rules early for how you will allow yourself to be treated and I won’t stand for this. He keeps canceling our dates. My time is valuable, and I deserve respect. So, how should I respond to him in a manner that is not emotional but will let him know this? He has asked if we can reschedule for Saturday, but I won’t agree to that.
Thank you”

Do Men Want What They Can’t Have?
This week's question comes from Paula:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
Do men want what they can’t have?
Here's my pattern… every single time I allow myself to TRULY love a man and trust/become vulnerable/believe he loves me back – he leaves!
All different types of men, wildly variable circumstances and timelines, but each time I chose to love – they leave. Of course, the ones I don't care about I can't get rid of.
I just want to know, do men only want what they can't have?!?
Help!”
