Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Fair Oaks, 26 year old

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I always like to have fun and get out of the house as much as possible. I love to go out and meet new people. It'd be very nice to be in a more serious relationship as I have been dating for a while.
I am at the age now where a lot of my friends are getting married/engaged and even having children. I am looking for a girl ready for a relationship that may lead in that direction.
Looking for a girl to have some fun with. One who likes to go out, but can have fun staying at night too. I prefer a girl who is either in school or employed or even both. She has to be outgoing and independent when needed. I want her to have a well-rounded life with her own friends and family.
I just got hired with the California Department of Water Resources and I begin May 31st.

Meet someone special from Arkansas, United States. Oh what to say, what to say..?!
I am Nikki, I am 26 yrs old. I am outgoing, compassionate, charming, and love to laugh! :) are you hooked yet? Ok ok read on...
I've noticed that people have been writing stories about themselves so I feel like I should elaborate? Well, like everyone else in the history of online dating, I am on here because I don't go out often, and when I do, I don't meet people easily. I am outgoing, funny (well I laugh at myself often), so me being shy isn't the problem.. I have yet to figure it out, so, here I am... :)
I am completely independent and have been since I was 18 (meaning I've never had the silver spoon experience), I am an extremely hard worker and I love my jobs (yes, plural) :)
I am 5'10"..I know, I'm tall. I should've played basketball or something right? I hear it often lol I have finally, at the age of 26, embraced the fact that I will never be 5'6" and a size 4...damn it. :) That being said, I don't date people who are shorter than me :/ being an above average height girl is hard! And having a partner shorter than myself is not something I see happening...ever. I'm not shallow by any stretch of the word, I have short friends! ;) (did you smile?)
Alright, so...
My "perfect match...?" Yikes...um, handsome?! Haha I want to love, laugh and live. My perfect match would feel the same way :) I would love to find a gentleman! Someone who smiles often, who has a positive outlook on life, and someone who treats people (all people) with respect. :)
