Dear Universe,
Did You Get My Order?
Introduction
Most women don’t stay single because they don’t want love. They stay single because they’re afraid of betraying themselves again. Afraid of choosing wrong. Afraid of settling. Afraid that wanting more means asking for too much. That they are too much.
This book is for women right there—not fully healed, not entirely confident, but done abandoning themselves just to be chosen.
I’m Meirav. A mother of three—Shaked, Yonatan, and Yuval. A business owner. And a woman who went on 60+ dates after leaving a 14-year marriage that broke more than just vows.
I didn’t start this journey loving myself completely, but I was honest, curious, and willing to take some chances.
I learned self-trust through dating. Clarity through not compromising. And wholeness by telling the truth—to myself first.
I dated with strategy and soul. I built a dating funnel like a CEO and healed like a mystic—with spreadsheets in one hand, and a journal full of prayers and thank-you notes to the universe in the other.
I stopped performing. I stopped chasing. I stopped asking the universe for “the one”—and started asking it to show me me.
And yes (spoiler alert) I did find love. Real, grounded, safe love with a wonderful man.
But this book isn’t about him.
It’s about the road I walked with myself. It wasn’t short. It wasn’t sweet. But it was exactly what I needed. Yes, I did find “the one,” but I also found my true, authentic self along the way.
Because the universe always does, in fact, get your order.
The real question is—are you ready to receive it?
"I hadn’t slept with anyone but my ex-husband in fourteen years.
And now? Now I was horny.
Like, embarrassingly, inappropriately,
Shaking-the-bed-
alone kind of
horny.”
"I hadn’t slept with anyone but my ex-husband in fifteen years.
And now? Now I was horny.
Like, embarrassingly, inappropriately,
Shaking-the-bed-alone
kind of horny.”

"The next question was whether I was ready to
ACCEPT THE TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND POTENTIAL INSANITY OF
DATING APPS”

“I approached love like a full-scale life project.”
Chapter 15
App-solutely Not
When I first mentioned to people that I was thinking about trying them, the reactions were immediate and intense: "Everyone’s trash on there." "It’s just hookups." "The good ones aren’t online."
These weren’t strangers. These were intelligent, soulful, accomplished people—many of them had entered the divorced dating scene long before I had.
They were people I respected.
And they were absolutely certain in their warning: Apps were the abyss.
I could have listened to all the angry stories—people burned by dating apps, convinced nothing real could come from them. But I chose to remember something else.
A mentor of mine once said:
If you want to believe in something, you’ll always find the proof you need to believe it.
In a sea of pessimism, I anchored myself to the belief that maybe—just maybe—something beautiful could begin online.
