*orothy Dix's profile:

I don't have any degrees other than to say that I love to help people to make the best of themselves and make their lives the best they can be. I really enjoy helping people to find answers to their problems.

I draw this information from my own personal life experience and the lessons I have learned throughout my life.

I also believe that every problem has a solution. No matter how challenging it might seem to find that solution, it's simply a case of having faith in yourself and never giving up.

I live in Sydney, Australia. I am married with no children.

I am very much a people person and like to make a difference in whatever way I can.

I'm pretty ordinary in my life as far as interests go. I like to read, knit, draw and paint whenever I get a chance. The books I read are mainly motivational books, which have helped me over the years in my own life's journey.

I am also presently studying Life Coaching (by correspondence), which I really enjoy. Although I am still studying, most of what I study I am already putting into action in my daily life. The course itself is really only the official side of becoming a Life Coach. For the most part of it, my gifts of good communication and being able to understand why things in life happen the way they do, has been gained through firsthand experience by me.

Am I really unloveable?

Q.   I’m 27 and have never had a girlfriend or any kind of relationship for that matter. I just can’t understand the why of it all. No woman has ever wanted me. My love just isn’t good enough for some reason. I’ve gone so far as to ask my friends f...

A.   13 September 2012: Hi again. (Message No. 2). The worst thing anyone can ever do, is to compare what they have to what others have. When you do this, in your own mind it makes you feel less than. The main thing is you want to be happy. And at the sam... (read in full...)

A.   13 September 2012: Hello again. Perhaps when you saw that lady who you got along well with on the previous evening, she may have been put off, because you became over eager to please her on the next night. Or at least, it could have come across that way to her. ... (read in full...)

A.   12 September 2012: Hi there. I think it's entirely possible that perhaps you are trying too hard. I realize how lonely it can feel when you see your friends with their girlfriends. And very often in life, we don't all meet someone special at the same time. It... (read in full...)

A.   7 September 2012: Hi there. When you said - "We had the talk on the 3rd week" - who instigated the talk? Was it you? Or was it something he brought up in conversation? It's never really appropriate to bring up the subject of - "Where is this relationship goi... (read in full...)

Can the way a person hugs be a sign of how they feel towards you?

Q.   I have a question about...different types of hugs. And the reason why is because, well, I've seen articles about how you can kind of tell how a guy feels about you by the way that he hugs you. This is an interesting subject for me, beca...

A.   7 September 2012: Hi there. Sometimes, you just have to let your heart tell you what it feels. It seems that you already have a pretty fair idea that the way he hugged you, compared to how he hugged your friend, does seem distinctly different. And you seem ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2012: Hi there. It's always a bit of a challenge, when you start a new phase of your education. I think the very best advice that I could give to you, would be that once you are actually attending your classes each day, you will find that perhaps ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2012: Hi there. Unfortunately, there probably isn't much more you could be doing, other than what is already being done for your mother's health problems. Needless to say, your mother is probably seeing a heart and lung specialist on a regular basis, t... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2012: Hi there. It does honestly seem like he only wants the sex or "making out" bit of your friendship. He has mentioned he wasn't ready for a serious relationship at the moment, and probably because he is leaving the Army soon as you have said her... (read in full...)

A.   15 August 2012: Hi there. I guess if this was happening to me, I would probably be a bit worried also. You really need to tell him that you are not at all happy about the fact his ex has conveniently moved in next door to him, and that you have real concerns... (read in full...)

A.   15 August 2012: Hi there. It's probably not that she has lost interest in you, so much as the fact that her life has simply become much more busy this summer, than last. She is also one year older, and a little bit more mature than last year. So it could a... (read in full...)

A.   10 August 2012: Hi there. Perhaps he's just testing the waters. He could have said that, so you didn't become too keen right at the start, so he's taking it slowly to begin with. He could have dated girls prior to you, who seemed to want to get serious righ... (read in full...)

Cell phone etiquette, She answers messages during intercourse!

A.   10 August 2012: Hi. You did the right thing. You can find someone better than her, who will treat you with respect and dignity, and with no exceptions. Speaking or texting on a mobile phone during lovemaking, is just NOT on at all. No matter what the ci... (read in full...)

A.   5 August 2012: Hi there. Well the one thing you DO NOT want to do, is to apply any pressure on him for more than he is ready to give. At least he is being honest, when he said he wasn't ready for a relationship. So you know he's not messing with your heart ... (read in full...)

A.   26 July 2012: Hi there. It might not be paranoid schizophrenia at all. What it might be, is that he is very insecure about relationships and doesn't know whether to trust someone or not. Because what he is doing, is checking up on you and who you email to... (read in full...)
