Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 27 year old

Date a guy from United States. I'm Eric. East Bay born and raised. My Mom's side has been in San Francisco since they crossed the pond in 1898. I love the city, the bay, Oakland, and northern California. I could not imagine living anywhere else.
I love the outdoors. Camping, be it car camping or backpacking, hiking, anything in water, the beach. I've been skiing since I was four; just never felt the need to strap on a board. I couldn't imagine the thought of spending my life in a cubicle, so I got my degree in conservation bio and now work as a fish biologist. My biggest passion is diving, both scuba and freediving, spearfishing and abalone hunting. I'll go on streaks where i'm up the coast almost every weekend.
I have a friendly, positive, laid-back personality. I love meeting new people and making new friends. I've been known to wander off from the group; later i'll be found nowhere near where I was last seen, chatting away with some random stranger.
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" Bonus points if you know the author

Meet single girl from Oakland, United States. First of all, please no winks. Emails are far more enjoyable... And typically get a response!
I've been living in the bay area for almost four years now. I'm a big fan. The relationships that I've built here are incredibly rich, fun, and lifelong. On that note, I have a very small family. So friends and family are one of the same. I'm incredibly loyal to those I care about, naturally I expect the same in return. Recently made the decision to go back to school, and tossing around the idea of doing it abroad.(bit more affordable over there!) . I love spending time with my friends, surfing, outdoor rock climbing (newbie), breweries, Giants baseball, concerts, traveling, fire dancing, and getting into a little mischief once in a while. I don't care for drama, jealousy, and bad attitudes. Life is short, enjoy the party! I'm a basic guys-girl. I'm pretty low key, but clean up nicely when inspiration hits.
Looking for someone who is happy, adventurous, motivated with good manners! Chivalry isn't dead guys :)

Date a soulmate from Oakland, United States. I am a bay area native who likes to explore the world and have adventures when I can. I love to travel....and try to get away whenever I can! am at the point where I am happy with my life, career, and family, but missing that special person to make me laugh and give me butterflies.
I am a spur of the moment kind of person. I love to take road trips, go out dancing, go for long runs. I love hot weather...and spending time on the beach.I like to stay active as much as I can. I can have just as much fun going out dancing at a club as I can staying in and renting movies.
I am looking for someone who is active, spontaneous, sweet. But more than anything..I'm just looking for someone that "clicks". I want to find someone that can be silly, but can also have an intellectual conversation.
I'm gonna keep this short and sweet and keep the life story for the first date!

Meet a girl from Oakland, United States. Born in the Philippines and California raised, I have lived in the Bay Area for a huge majority of my life. I would like to visit the rest of the world to see if the Bay Area really is the place for me. So far, it's been the case. The Bay Area seems to be the Baby Bear of my travels. Other places seem to have extreme cold and hot climates, too much space, not enough space, etc. I've been told that the Mediterranean might be able to compete with the Bay Area for my heart.
I teach math and science to middle school students...and their parents. Although I do not have any children of my own, most of these parents come to me seeking parenting advice. Most of my students come to me asking for advice on college, dating, and dealing with parents. I think kids are amazing. I'd like some of my own someday...just not today.
My friends and I are ride or die folks. Although we don't often all get to see each other, we seem to pick up where we left off. I enjoy hearing from them and setting up times to see each other. I don't have a group of people I go to, but I definitely have a few folks I can confide in. This might be because I grew up in a huge family. My mom and dad are really close to their brothers and sisters. The cousins grew up as extended siblings. We're all really close. I'm looking for someone who's going to be okay with going to a lot of family functions. Family's kind of a big deal around here... =)

Date someone special from Oakland, United States. How curious are you?
Let's talk and find out about each other.
;)
I need to write something that is more than 200 chars. That's not fair...
Well...I'm unique as any other human being with its particularities...and not willing to describe myself extensively until there's no room for a real conversation.
Updating: I was going to leave this at it is, but it is hard to meet people in person...imagine if you don't help just by telling a little something about you when they reach the online thing...
This is actually an adjective about me...I'm flexible. When i think it's time to change my mind, I'll do it. :)
I still don't know what to say, tho. I'm laid back, down to earth, a conversationalist, sarcastic, goofy...I enjoy life and appreciate every little thing about it. Not only my life but all other lives.
I recently surfed for the first time and as I suspected...it is the most fun thing to do. I love the ocean and always wanted to try and it just confirmed how amazing it is to just let yourself get carried away on a wave looking stupid. haha (just kidding about me looking stupid with my hair all messed up, choking on the salt water that got into my lungs)
I used to be very active when I was younger, then I started working and studying and didn't have any time to be active. I'm serious.
BUT NOW...everything changed...I don't have lots of free time, but I do have some and i'm looking forward to catching up on activities I always wanted to try. I.e: wakeboard, ultimate frisbee, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, rapel and others lighter than these like hiking, bike riding, in line skating, riding long boards...bla
Either for friends or more...it is essential to know how to laugh and make people laugh,to not take life too seriously but at the same time to know what you want and avoid wasting your time or other people's.
Anything else....just ask. :)

Meet men and women from Oakland, United States. I never thought I'd be trying a dating site but the open-minded, easygoing part of me decided differently. Life's too short, right? So here I am, optimistic yet realistic, looking for my match... my partner in crime ;)
I'm most attracted to a guy with a great sense of humor, a big heart, and an open mind. It's important to be thoughtful of others and cherish the people that enhance our lives, like family and friends (chosen family). Ideally, my partner is able to laugh at himself every once in a while and have a romantic bone or two in his body. I believe it's not asking too much to also look for my guy to be intelligent and socially conscientious. Oh, and I must say I love it when a guy can meet new people, friends/family of mine, and be able to converse, hold his own, and enjoy the coming together of good people. I believe that I encompass the qualities I'm looking for in my match. I love surrounding myself with good friends, good food, and good drinks! I'm a California girl who loves to travel so I would have tons of fun with someone that enjoys exploring too. Oyster harvesting at Point Reyes is on my list of things to do! I must admit that I pride myself on my ability to get along with & chat with most anybody, my go-with-the-flow attitude, and drive to treat others with respect. I'm down-to-earth so if you're looking for a high-maintenance girl then I'm probably not for you.
I realized a long time ago that I love helping people so I decided to become a therapist and never looked back. Despite being a therapist, believe me when I tell you that I do not take myself too seriously at all and don't waste my time over-analyzing people or situations. I'm driven to find the best in people and make them smile... What makes you smile?
