Date men and women from United States / California / Edwards, 36 year old

Date a soulmate from Edwards, United States. Do you ever wonder who came up with that expression 'don't sweat the small stuff'? I know I could google it and find a name, but what I am really curious about is how people define 'small'. Take me for instance: what others might consider 'ordinary' moments I define as the most enjoyable. Things like catching the first chair on a powder day, sharing a beer with friends on a sunny patio or a leisurely breakfast on Sunday morning are a few of my favorites.
If you were to ask my friends about me, they'd likely tell you that I'm in my element at the head of the table, leading a lively conversation. They'd share with you that I'm passionate and active; how else could they describe the joy I get from climbing St. Mary's glacier or hiking in the crisp fall air?
But there's a side to my personality that they may not see, and that's my desire to just chill out and observe. They probably don't know that when I'm teaching someone how to ski I don't really care if they are weaker and slow me down; I'm just happy I can enjoy the day with someone. And if they asked me to tell them about my most memorable students, I'd likely remember not the perfect students but the ones who were the most frustrating. I get a kick out of a challenge!
When it comes to relationships, I enjoy learning from my partner. I listen as much as I talk, and I enjoy sharing what I know when asked. I hope to meet someone who, like me, enjoys both adventures out of the house as well as lazy mornings sleeping in. I understand that while time together is great, we all need a little space and time to call our own.
My ideal woman enjoys the outdoors. I think we're kidding ourselves if we deny that we're all attracted to certain physical characteristics; I tend to be drawn to petite women with dark straight hair and bright eyes. Even though her looks will catch my attention, it's her personality that will keep me interested.
I hope to meet someone who shares my belief that even the best life is better shared. Is that you?
