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.

“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.

Thank you”
