Date women from United States / Arizona / Tempe, 31 year old

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm new to Arizona from the east coast and relocated for medical school. I was born and raised in the Washington D.C. area (NOVA) and spent the last decade in the south between Florida and Georgia. Though I have not been here long, I love Arizona so far, even with the heat.
I am a strong, outgoing person with ambitious goals. (a single mother in medical school….need I say more?) I am the type who makes a decision to do something and conquers it. My best example is deciding to complete an Ironman and doing so the following year. (If you have never heard of an Ironman Triathlon, you should Google it. It’s an amazing test of inner strength.) I still run but have chosen to keep my races small. I love going out and being social but a quiet weekend at home is perfect too. I enjoy spending time with my partner but do value my alone time. Recently, I have fallen in love with my back patio accompanied by a glass of wine and great conversation. I can mold into just about any surrounding and can find the fun in everything I do. (I even find fun in studying, as weird as that sounds.) I stay active and have health and nutrition a high priority on my list. This is an area that is very important to me. You don’t have to be a marathon runner with 6% body fat, just educated on the importance of how to fuel your body and take care of it. Overall I am rather low maintenance in that I don’t require much to keep me happy. It’s the little things in life that I find joy in. I’m pretty open-minded and have a willingness to learn or experience new things.
I am looking for someone who knows how to communicate with their partner, appreciates the smaller things in life, and who maintains a positive attitude. I have a gentle heart and a passion for life so a hermit will not be a good fit. My motto is to “Just Keep Moving Forward”. This was a saying that helped get me through to the finish line during the Ironman. It is something I still believe in and hope to find someone who is striving for the best experiences in life.

Meet a woman from Arizona, United States. Hello, I'm Mina
I was born and raised in Europe but Az has been home for quite a while now and I love it.
My greatest blessings are my family and friends.
I was raised with strong morals and values..
My job takes up quite a bit of my time and energy but when I am free I like to enjoy spending time with my loved ones and going to new places. My personality is flexible which allows me to enjoy a nice evening with a movie on the couch or dress up for a fancy dinner or get a beer at a dive bar.
Great conversation, confidence and compassion are so much attractive to me than looks. Yes, physical attraction is semi essential and keep in mind it does not last but the ability to make eachother laugh is interminable.

Date someone special from Arizona, United States. I'm a sweet girl living a simple life and looking for the same. My ideal match can be described as a pretty boy with a big heart.
I can be shy and reserved at first. I'm pretty open to who it is that I meet. It just helps if he didn't look like a scary biker dude. It's amazing what kind of photos people will put up of themselves. I have to admit that I DO click on the scary photos out of curiosity.
I love to travel and have been to Japan, Australia, Italy (twice), Greece, Tunisia, Thailand, England, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Mexico (five times), Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Brunei. Traveling solo has given me a great sense of independence.
I can't believe I'm getting winks with no photo up of myself. The photos will be put up in a few months. I'm not quite ready. Ok, the photos are up.
I tried Match.com when I was 23 and a very handsome neurologist found me on the site, so I'm giving Match another whirl. I remember getting over 16,000 views/hits in about a year, but I don't think you could see who had viewed you. It also didn't cost as much, back in the day.
Now that I've read through hundreds of profiles (both male and female), I've decided that they more or less sound the same. So here's my attempt at making myself seem a little more unique.
Interesting tidbits about me:
-I've seen the Shroud of Turin (the cloth covering Jesus when he died).
-I got an A in Organic Chemistry.
-I danced with a midget in Africa.
-I don't know how to swim.
-I've eaten alligator and boar meat.
-A priest once kissed my foot.
-I hitch-hiked from Kahului to Lahaina in Maui.
-I went skinny-dipping in Africa (this was after dancing with the midget).
-I'm terrified of aliens.
-I was voted Best Hair in highschool.
-I've eaten stingray (Kuala Lumpur) and sheep's testicles (Beijing).
-I had to give a speech at a gala event.
-I received about a dozen scholarships for college.
-I've lost three passports.
-I've lived in the backstreets of a third world country.
-I've slept in a field with 2.5-3 million people.
-I went after a guy that exposed his schlong to me at the library.
-I won tickets to see U2.
-I've been to 5 of the 7 continents.
-I went parasailing in Africa.
-I slept on asphalt and used port-o-potties for 2 weeks straight.
-I went on two study abroad trips in college.
-I was stranded in Milan, along with 500 other people, and missed the first day of my sophomore year of college.
If you've emailed me and I never wrote you back, just email me again.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I am someone that knows how to balance my professional life and my social life. I am loyal to my friends, family, and especially my students. I like to think outside of the box to help my students succeed. I love to laugh. My friends say that I have a contagious laugh. I am looking for someone who is driven and has a good head on their shoulders but is also not afraid to let out their inner child.

Date a woman from United States. I stand by the quote to "live, laugh, and love" when it comes to life. I feel that you have one life to live, and it's important to put others before yourself and show them unconditional love. To me, life shouldn't be regarded in how much money you make, materials you own, or where you live. It should be looked at in how you love the people around you, loving who you are, and what you do with each day. My parents have been together for 41 years, and I would love to celebrate the same someday with the right partner in my life. It is important to me not to date someone with children, as this is something that I would like to wait for with the right person.
Education is important to me, and after finishing my bachelors degree I went for my masters degree. I love learning, and working with others who I can help - especially children. I'm currently in the process of applying for medical school in a specialized area where I can work more one on one with children. I feel that helping others is where my heart fits best. I absolutely love traveling, and I feel like everytime I travel, I learn something new which is so very valuable. When I'm not working I love going out with my friends, spending time with my family, hiking, volunteering, exercising, and checking out new places. If this sounds like you, I would love to learn more about you!
I've learned that to find the right person, you have a sense of "just knowing" it's right, so I suppose I'm waiting for that person where I can say, "I just know". Although we all have our lists of what we're looking for to make things ultimately easy for us, we can sometimes wind up with someone we weren't even expecting which I suppose is what makes dating such an adventure. I look forward to getting to know you!

Date a soulmate from Tempe, United States. I consider myself enthusiastic, easy going, and adventurous person. There are numerous things that bring a smile to my face, one of them is being able to share good times and memories with my friends and family. I value my life and am blessed for my strong family values, my career, and having close circle of friends in my life. I enjoy my career as I have dedicated a lot of effort in gaining higher education and feel it is one of my proudest achievements.

Meet a woman from Tempe, United States. I'm a fun person to be around. I'm a single mom first and a single woman second. Not sure what I'm looking for, i just know I'm not looking for a causal hook- up. Of like to meet someone to do fun things with, and see where it all goes. I have an outgoing personality and i can get along with anyone. I love kids. I can be goofy at times. I'm always smiling or
laughing. I don't tend to let things get to me to much. I'm looking for someone who's ok with getting to know each other first before anything physical/intimate happens.

Date someone special from Tempe, United States. I am an independent person and not afraid to take risks. I am happy doing my own thing, but having someone do things with me is good too. I used to do graphic design, but I decided to change careers and go to law school. I've got a year left and believe going to law school was the best decision of my life. I moved to Phoenix from Georgia for law school and fell in love with the Southwest. At this point I plan on staying in Arizona because it's amazing. Yes, I have a bit of a Georgia accent, but I hide it well ;) I volunteer for a lot of community service and love helping charities. I recently started cycling and love to ride around Tempe lake. I also recently started learning krav maga, a form of martial arts. Krav has become a huge part of my life and I go to class 5 days a week on top of law school classes. I am very active physically and work out 6 days a week, eat healthy, and am loosing weight. I know my priorities- law school, my personal physical/mental/emotional well being, relationships, and everything else. I'm a pretty laid back kind of girl. You won't ever see me at the nail salon or with fake nails and I do not like to go to clubs. Generally, I prefer to be pretty casual in jeans and a t-shirt or tank. I'm also a geek and love video games, comics, RPG's, and that kind of stuff.
The type of person I'm interested in is just as independent as I am and interested in similar things. I'd also like someone who is a very active person and can keep up with me, but who sometimes likes to play video, card, or board games. I like someone who isn't afraid to challenge me, but can do it in a respectful manner. Above all, I like someone who is honest. I'd like someone who has similar priorities in life as I do and can be a partner, not a dependent or a control freak. What I'm not looking for is a hero. I do not need or want someone to take care of me or who only feels happy when they can swoop in and save the day. My biggest turn-off is codependency. To me, the most attractive feature of a person is their confidence and independence.

. Top 10 Reasons Why I Would Be Your Best Girlfriend Ever:
10. I love looking good for you.
9. You wonРІР‚в„ўt hear me nag and complain because I donРІР‚в„ўt sweat the small stuff.
8. You will be proud to have me on your arm when we go out in public and your friends will probably be envious.
7. You will never, ever compete with me.
6. You will be nicely surprised when I kiss you passionately at unexpected times and in unexpected places.
5. You will never see me roll my eyes at you when you say something because I will respect you.
4. You will see my smile far more often than my frown.
3. You will find yourself thinking seriously about my observations on life and current events.
2. You wonРІР‚в„ўt be holding my purse at the shoe store. You wonРІР‚в„ўt even BE at the shoe store with me.
1. I will accept you for who you are- not try to change you into who I think you should be.
Now that you know a little more about what I have to offer, here's some things I would like in my ideal man.
Top 10 Reasons You Might Be The Man of My Dreams:
10. You realize that sometimes the best way to brighten up a hard day is to give me chocolate.
9. You consider yourself a Ted Mosby or a Marshall Ericksen, not a Barney Stinson.
8. You know that when you wrap me in your arms everything feels right in my world, so you do it often.
7. You make me feel comfortable enough to be myself, because I know that you find my quirks endearing.
6. You value humor as much as I do- bonus points if you can't hit up YouTube without wanting to watch "The Bed Intruder Song" and "Drunk Kitchen."
5. You are a nice blend of modern and traditional values.
4. I can get lost in a good conversation with you, but when we do have a moment of silence, there's nothing awkward or uncomfortable about it.
3. You laugh with me, not at me... even when you catch me singing (badly!) at the top of my lungs to a Taylor Swift song, or doing something else equally cringe worthy.
2. We have a mutual understanding that you're allowed to zone out when I talk about accessories, shoes, or hair, and I'm allowed to zone out when you talk about fantasy football, cars, or UFC.
1. We complement each other so well that we both know that as great as we are individually, we're even better together.
Now here's the part where most people dump all their cliches "I'm smart, funny, spontaneous... blah, blah, blah" without any personal anecdotes to back them up. So instead of giving a laundry list of my attributes, I'd rather just list a few in more detail...
I'm very loyal to those I care about- I've had the same handful of best friends for over a decade, despite making two out of state moves.
I am incredibly honest - Even when it would be much more self serving to lie, I just can't seem to do it. It makes me uncomfortable, and when I open my mouth, I word vomit the truth.
I value open communication- Nothing bothers me more than when people insist that everything is fine when clearly it isn't. That's how little things get blown up into big things.
My two love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. I'm very affectionate and would like the same from my partner. Hugs, kisses, and cuddling make me very happy. Im big on giving and receiving compliments, support, and encouragement. I don't think I would be able to have a long term relationship with someone who doesn't meet those needs for me. So if that's not you, we're probably not right for each other. If that is you, we just might get along.
As for my ideal match, there are lots of positive traits that I would like him to have. This is where the list of cliches would come in handy, but instead, why don't you just send me a message and tell me a little bit about what makes you the man you are?

. I'm very laid back and I love to smile. It doesn't take much to please me so just be yourself.
I'm looking for someone I can TRUST, and who is willing to work as hard as I am to advance our relationship. I'm loyal and faithful in my relationships and I expect the same in return. I won't ask for what I can't give. I have a 3 year old son, so I am looking for someone who will view him as a bonus to a great package.

. Well, I guess if you are reading this I must have past picture test, so that's a good sign right?
At the risk of sounding like everyone else on here, here is a little bit about myself. I am truly fun loving and outgoing. My friend's mom growing up always called me "Spunky" and nicknames similar to that have followed my throughought my life. I can have high energy when needed, but I can also be a calm person. I am sarcastic the majority of the time, but I do also know when to be serious. Humor is my crutch. When I don't know what else to say, I try and find something funny or if the moment is right, I may even say something funny.
What do I want in a significant other? Well, I want someone to share things with. I want someone to be a part of my life just as much as I want to be a part of theirs. I am not looking for a one night stand, so if this is your intention, please skip over me. I know that meeting Mr. Right immediatly won't likely happen, but essentially that is what I want.
If you are interested and would like to know more about me, I am an open book, just ask.
