Date women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 26 year old

Date single girl from Oakland, United States. I live in Oakland and I love it! I like to explore new places and try new things. Recently I have been thinking more and more about just packing up my things and moving to the mountains and away from the city life. Some part of me is longing to feel a deeper connection with nature and just grow my own food and live in a cabin in the woods.
I enjoy all things outdoors: hiking; camping; paddling; sailing; backpacking; and geocaching. If you would like to meet up for a hike I will always been down!
I also like good music and bar hopping. My favorite bands are: Arcade Fire; MGMT; Best Coast; Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros; The Cure; The Velvet Underground; The Rolling Stones; Fleet Foxes; Neutral Milk Hotel. Nothing is better than making breakfast Sunday morning while listening to the Velvet Underground.
I hope to meet fun, inspiring people who are driven.
I have a beagle named Bodhi and he is a little crazy but very sweet.

Meet a girl from Oakland, United States. Where to begin? I little bit about me? IРІР‚в„ўm guessing thatРІР‚в„ўs why youРІР‚в„ўre here ;)
I’m a driven girl with lots of good things going on in my life. I’ve worked really hard to achieve some big life goals and now I’m looking to share all the “good stuff” with someone else.
I hope to meet someone who is willing to share all their “good stuff”. Chemistry is important, as well as good conversation, a sense of humor, confidence, and mutual respect. I like to hang out with positive, optimistic people who work at being the best version of themselves. If the same things (and others?) are important to you this could work.
It sounds like all work and no play, but I do have a less serious side – if you’re able to help me let loose and induce a fit of laughter you’re in!
IРІР‚в„ўd like to think IРІР‚в„ўm funny, but sometimes itРІР‚в„ўs hard to tell if people are laughing because they are amused or because IРІР‚в„ўve made a terribly awkward comment.
I wish I talked more like Terry Gross – soothing and calm, taking these long pauses to think – in reality I’m kind of loud, I get easily excited, and can be pretty chatty. I'd never make it on NPR :(
Generally, I enjoy being active and try to get out of the house often for some “physical activity” even if it’s just a walk around the lake. I’m currently training for my second half-marathon – I’m still amazed this running (well let’s be honest, it’s more like jogging) thing has stuck and I really enjoy the feeling of working toward a big goal. I also just started taking some Cross Fit classes. My success here has yet to be determined, so you will have to give me some time to form an opinion and get past the soreness.
To balance all this “physical activity” out, or rather cancel it out?!? I enjoy my local culinary scene, as well as spending time in my own kitchen. I hope my cooking club ladies will back me up when I say I can make a mean contribution to any themed potluck! If you’re the hungry type, I think we could get along.
I’m open to trying new things, so if you have some activity/hobby you think is worth sharing let me know…after the first try you can decide whether you want to keep sharing :)

Meet a soulmate from United States. Describing myself isn?t one of my strengths, so I asked a friend to do it for me?
Cindy is very outgoing and loves to go try new things. She loves adventure in traveling and trying new food. She enjoys playing most sports and watching them also. She is very family oriented and has strong values. She isn?t a gourmet chef but she can cook a good meal. She is a big goofball but she?s a workaholic. So that?s why I made her get on this website to find a decent man for her.
OK, so her ideal date would be someone with similar interests although she does want to meet someone who can take her out of her box. I picture her with a fun, honest, easy going guy with a good sense of humor. She?s not looking for the best looking guy out there. She wants to be with someone that is adventurous, can treat her like a lady and has good morals. Send her a message if you are interested.

Date single girl from Arkansas, United States. I'm a regular girl with my life together...most of the time! I love my job, am close with my family, love to travel, and watch and play sports....
I'm thankful that I love my job and get to do something that I'm interested in everyday. I work a lot but I don't let it interfere with my time outside of work. I get to travel a lot for work but love to travel for fun even more. Currently looking forward to Vegas, Hawaii, Colorado, and Chicago this year.
Family is very important to me, even though mine doesn't live close by I still see them often and keep in touch. I have one younger brother and he is a best friend to me. We're very close and I look forward to everything that we do together.
As far as my everyday life here in the bay goes I like to do yoga, dance, watch baseball, visit farmers markets and flea markets whenever possible, and generally just enjoy all the wonderful food and drink choices around here. I'm very go with the flow, down to earth and honest. I'm a very independent person, very comfortable with where I'm at and what I'm doing with my life. I'm looking for someone who feels the same and is also looking for the extra piece to their puzzle. Someone to share dinners, go to Giants games, travel, and enjoy life with :)

Meet a girl from Arkansas, United States. I am currently in graduate school and work full time. I enjoy watching football, basketball, boxing and sometimes baseball lol. I enjoy reading and going to the movies. I am pretty laid back but once in a while I do enjoy going out with my girls for some drinks and dressing up. I am in search of someone who is looking to settle down in the future and wants something serious. I am a very honest person and I expect the same. He would have to enjoy going out on some days and just staying in to watch a movie on other days.

Date someone special from Arkansas, United States. I just moved back to the Bay, and am interested in meeting some new people and having a good time. During my hours off work, I enjoy going outdoors and getting some sun, exploring the city and discovering cool new beer bars, vegging out and watching the Daily Show.
I'm hoping to meet a guy who is interested in fun activities, relaxed conversation and hanging out on the weekends. Hit me up if this sounds good to you.

Meet a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. My general outlook on life: :D
My friends never know what to expect when I describe something as "FUN", such as: hiking in dumping rain, getting lost, working out, dancing in public, trying weird everythings, karaoke, playing with my food, or biking til you can't feel your butt. Haha. If I am learning new things, pushing myself harder, and laughing.. I am having some fun.
I am an easy going, passionate person that's easily excitable and a little nerdy. I am half Mexican and Italian, which means I am almost always 5-minutes late, opinionated, fun-loving, artistic, clumsy, and can cook! :P
I work diligently as a graphic designer for a woman's activewear company in the East Bay. I moved back to the Bay, a year ago, after living in the Central Coast working within the wine industry developing wine brands and labels. I really enjoy being back on my home turf.
When I am not at work, I am outside, practicing yoga, training hard at the gym for Rainier and Tough Mudder, dancing in my apartment, illustrating, thinking amongst silence, thinking amongst the heaviest of tunes, buying A LOT of concert tickets, cooking, volunteering, playing pool or at a show with some friends.
Aside from the day to day grind, I am making a bigger effort to travel. It's hard to get past the beauty of CA and the West Coast. (Lucky us.) Right now, I am focusing on domestic travel. Spain, Italy, and the vastness of Patagonia are on the horizon. Oh, in August I will also summit Mt. Rainier raising $3,800 for an organization that provides equipment and training for kids to get outdoors and away from the tube and conflict at home. Can't wait!
I've learned that it's the element of surprise that really makes a strong connection. Therefore, I don't have a checklist for the perfect man, but I do know how I want to live my life. I seek an active, happy, healthy life full of adventure, family, and warmth with guy who is active, honest, courteous, positive, and sexy. Finding the balance of play and work is very important to me.
Don't just wink. Write!
