Date men and women from United States / California / Murphys, 24 year old

Date men and women from Murphys, United States. Giving this online dating a go... Let's see.
Why I'm on here: I am quite a blessed woman, still got a lot to figure out, but hey who doesn't, but.....I'm tired of doing it all on my own. My number one supporters are my parents, and I have great friends, but its come to a point in my life when I've realized they all have their own lives. You know!. I just want someone I can lean on in the bad times, and someone to enjoy the good moments with in life. And where I live, there's not many options for real relationship interests.
What I'm looking for: In fantasy, I'd love someone that lies between Noah in The Notebook and the men in all those country songs on the radio. Haha! :) I want a REAL MAN to be with! Those romances that you see in movies and hear about in songs. Is that realistic? Doubtful. But whatever I can get that closely resembles that head over heels can't keep our hands off each other best friends/partners for life kinda thang....I'd be more than satisfied. I'm extremely independent, and I'd expect my guy to be too. I'm also a traditional gal at heart. I want a man that will treat me like a lady, like his partner in life, and all those qualities of a lasting relationship that you see couples talking about that have been together 50 years. RESPECT AND HONESTY are two things I will NOT do without. A family man is kind of a prerequisite. You gotta love kids. You have to be able to keep me laughing, or at least always find moments in life to laugh with me in. A man of the Lord would be awesome! I recenlty found my relationship with God, and if my man can be a step a head of me in that, maybe support me in some of the questions I have, that would be a huge plus! I need someone who isn't afraid to express feelings and is strong at the same time. It'd be ideal to find a man that can show me/ teach me things, and will le me show them things/ learn from me. Someone who will accept me as I am, lift me when I'm down, be inspired by me, and allow me to do all the same vise versa. If this is all sounding like somewhat of a fit to you so far, message me. Let's see where it goes.
Who I am: This is the tough part. I won't write too much here. I am open to answer any questions you have. Hopefully you get kind of an idea from all the above. :) I am a loving mother, and daugher. A lilttle sister. A great friend. Honest. Loyal. Super nice. I treat others how I want to be treated. My flaws would be my ability to be SO completely and utterly hard on myself. Being too nice. (Yes, I have been told that more than once in my life...don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing lol). I am extremely understanding and forgiving, almost to a fault sometimes. I have a BIG heart that I have tended to open too easily in the past, and now it's kind of locked in high walls....that I'm hopign somebody will one day be able to take down. I can be awfully contradictory in many things, but only because I can always always see both sides of every situation. I will forever be a kid at heart, but I've got a good head on my shoulders and am very responsible. Okay, now I feel like I'm trying to just sell myself! Haha! This is where I'll stop.
