Date women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 32 year old

Date someone special from Oakland, United States. I have a bucket list, and on that bucket list are many things that all bring me joy. If it hasn't been obvious yet, I love to cook, and my dream is to some-day feed someone famous, like a president or a king. I also want to visit Tanzania to climb Kilamanjaro and to see the migration across the Serengeti, and I would also love to dive to the great barrier reef in Australia. I also want to learn to roller skate and snowboard. The last things aren't that hard to accomplish, but I'm hoping to meet a man who is interested in doing at least some of those things on my bucket list with me :-).
I would love to meet someone who likes to laugh, whose ultimate goal is to live life to the fullest, and who is sincere and level headed. I'm very ambitious and I'm not done eating up everything that life has to serve, and I'd like someone who is hungry and ambitious too! However, by no means does that mean I won't stay home and enjoy doing nothing more than... well... nothing!
Other than that, I think everything else is chemistry. So let's talk and see what happens :-)

Meet someone special from Arkansas, United States. I'm a big goofball who loves to travel around the world, enjoys really great food, loves hiking and going to the beach, and is usually up for an adventure. On the weekends, I like to go to the farmers' market, walk around the lake, check out an art exhibit, or just stay in to cook all day and watch movies I've seen a thousand times.
I enjoy singing in the car really loudly, even though I almost never remember the lyrics. I love to go see live music, although I'm admittedly behind the times when it comes to music. You will always find me shakinРІР‚в„ў it on the nearest dance floor. Shorty got low, low, low....let's just say I'm not afraid to look like total dork. I love to laugh and I enjoy being silly.
My friends and family are extremely important to me. I am fiercely loyal and will always make time for the people I care about, but I really value spending time alone too.
Yes, I like chick flicks. I like to grab a box of tissues, some See's chocolate, and a glass of wine and have a cathartic cry-my-eyes-out good time. Hallmark commercials make me tear up. Seriously, I'm a big sap.
I am really passionate about my job and I'm extremely grateful that I'm able to work on issues that I really care about every day. Having a fulfilling and meaningful career is extremely important to me, but I strive for a good work-life balance.
I'm looking for someone who cares about the world and the people around him, and who has a passion for life and loves to travel and try new things. Patience, empathy, intelligence, curiosity, and a quirky sense of humor are all virtues in my book. If you are willing to share food, that will get you major bonus points.

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. Okay, here we go...it feels like I am back in school... describe about yourself!....:-)
I am a simple person and appreciate everything in life. I do not take myself too seriously, unless I have to. :-)
I am a fun, sophisticated yet easygoing person. I love to eat and I like all kinds of food, except spicy food - they do not like my body:-Lately, my interest is to learn different kinds of cooking, so you might be the lucky one to taste the dishes, I hope you will like it...
I am the kind of girl who is always out about - anything has to do with the nature. Of course, I also enjoy staying in watching a movie and have a glass of wine. I'd like to meet someone who takes care of themselves (mentally and physically), honest, smart, generous, active, and have a good sense of humor (I like to laugh a lot, so bonus point if you can make me laugh all the time).

Meet a woman from Arkansas, United States. i am looking for someone to go camping with, take hikes with, jog with, climb with (even though it has been awhile), see good music together and really just someone to have fun with...the simple things in life make me happy- a comfy bed, iced coffee, days off from work, greek yogurt, massages, a cold beer...i love the east bay and love to explore the various events- outdoor movie nights, festivals, farmer's markets, art shows, music shows...I know i am not perfect and i am ok with that...i strive to be a good, honest and hard-working person and am looking for someone who appreciates people and life...

Date someone special from United States. I'm the classic middle child: a peacemaker and very laid back. I prefer flip-flops to heels, and hiking through the jungle to clubbing. I am definitely more girly than tomboy though, and I'm terrible at organized sports that involve hand-eye coordination.
I would hope to meet someone who likes eating vegetables, gets out of the house (a lot), is willing to wear costumes for causes like Halloween or relays, loves his family, and is handy with a drill. I also joke about not being interested in guys who wear watches - but it seems that most of you do. I'd be willing to overlook it. ;)

Meet a soulmate from United States. So I'm in my first year of teaching high school--and I'm on a major learning curve these days...it's occasionally insane, but, more often, exciting. As I hope my work will always tend towards being--something that stretches and challenges me. Beyond managing to have an interesting career, I value staying in touch with friends, enjoying an array of music and art (4/22: saw The Shins in Santa Cruz!), and exploring the worlds of spirituality/psychology.
I have a regular meditation practice, part of my passion for growth--or you could say I enjoy spending time cultivating the inner garden, mainly through so-called "spiritual" work, for lack of a better term. You don't need to meditate to be good in my book, while I admit I get along best with those drawn to the depths, in some way, as well as heights. Looking for someone strong and compassionate; sweet and real; gentle and clear-headed; finding his way through the journey with some reflection along the path; and interested in sharing it all with a warm-hearted partner.
Thanks for reading, and good luck in your search!

Date a woman from United States. I am a single mother who loves life and living! During this time of independence I have learned alot about myself and know exactly what I want in life! I am in no rush! If its meant it will happen..Some of things I am enjoying right now is traveling, meeting new people and trying new things! My son is my love and means the world to me. My passion in life is to be the best me I can be in everything that I do!
I Interested in someone who has a love relationship with God! Has core values and knows how to treat a woman. My ideal guy will have himself together, mentally, emotionally & financially. He will know his direction in life :) Looking for that one where our lifestyles will compliment each other. Communication and mutual respect is a must! My attention does not come easy and the "typical" does not flatter me. I am a woman who likes to be intrigued and my interest has to piqued. Looks are not everything however, I would love to be with someone who I am attracted to physically as well as mentally, intellectually & spiritually...*With that said if you do not have a photo on your profile please do not message me** that creeps me out!

. "All I know is that each day is a new reality. Some realities are bigger than others depending upon the priorities in your life but the truth soon becomes clear... until something new is revealed...it's an ongoing cycle.." :)
I believe in balance and feel lucky to have a full life. I love being outdoors, but can also get into a loungy day at home in big comfy sweatpants and a movie. I am silly and serious and I strive to be healthy in all areas mentally and physically. It is important to me to always be growing, learning and challenging myself.
Sometimes I am a high heels girl, sometimes I am a sneakers girl, sometimes I am a flip-flop girl and sometimes I am a barefoot girl. I love a fun night out as well as building a fort in my living room and camping out with board games.
I am looking for someone who is authentic, motivated about life and who loves to laugh and finds the "good stuff" in all the little things. Really, it is all about enjoying each other's company and seeing what fits.
Confidence mixed with humility is very attractive.
Happy Day!

. Hello I am Jamil. I am a cool, well rounded, charming, inteligent and sometimes sarcastic woman who is taking a chance at romance here on match.com. Your probably looking at my profile pictures and saying to yourself...."she's smoking hot... How could she be single?". Lol.Well DING! DING! DING! ... 32 million dollar question. Buzz me in when you figure that out. Honestly , I have grown weary from trying to solve this mystery . For now let's just say it hasn't happened for me. But my fingers are crossed and I am still fighting the good fight....
Anyhow- When I have free time I like to enjoy a variety of activities. Too many to list here- but I will say that Im a bit of a sporty spice type of gal who enjoys indoor and outdoor physical activities. Being a former athlete there's just something about breaking a good old wholesome sweat ;).
Also I love good music and dancing ( not like professionally ... Less jabbawackies and more soul train). In fact, you could probably get me to engage in just about any activity if your good company but I especially enjoy experiences that enhance and/or enrich my life. After all we only get one round and none of us are making it out alive....so it's imperative that we make the most of it.
My philosophy on life is that it is more about the journey than the destination. So my most important goal is to strap on my seat belt ...keep my hands on the wheel, eyes on the road and enjoy the ride!
( if you've made it this far- your definetely interested- so wink or leave me a message!)) Now you probably want to know what I am "looking" for.....well....
I'd like to start with a friendship. Someone with whom to hang out with and take some time getting to know. Its a rare experience to have a meeting of the minds but having that connection is extremely important to me.
I'm not neccessarily in a rush to jump into a relationship but seek instead to be connected. If a genuine connection leads to a relationship...cool. If not .. thats cool too. Connected in that it would be nice to have someone to look forward to hearing from. Someone who makes me giggle. Someone I want to touch and be touched by. Someone who I look forward to and get excited/ anxious about seeing and vice versa.
Let's be clear. We are all flawed and fall short. And I am not looking for a miracle or some textbook fairytale. Instead I hope to encounter someone who knows who they are and what they want. Someone with integrity and strong character. Someone who is a chameleon and can blend into professional and social settings. Who knows how to have a good time whether we are chillin one on one or in a room filled with people and whose moral compass is in tact.
Bottomline- Its a big ole planet and I am trying to keep the faith in the idea that there is someone out there who knows how to love, wants to love and is not only willing to teach but LEARN. At the end of the day I am most impressed by a man who is committed to growth whether it be intellectually, physically, spiritually or emotionally.

. I'm originally from Orange County and moved to Berkeley for college. I fell in love with the bay area and I can't imagine anywhere else in the country I would want to live. I spend at least 1 day every weekend hiking and go to Yosemite and Tahoe pretty often. Unlike most of the profiles I read, I don't have a job that I love or am passionate about. Instead, I have a job that is tolerable and sufficiently finances my "real" life. It has just been recently, in the past couple of years, that I have realized the importance of work life balance and I continue to strive to spend less time working.
I consider myself very laid back and also appreciate my solitude. Unfortunately, this is often percieved as being apathetic. Even when dating or in a relationship, I think its important to have some indepedence and sustain relationships with friends. Most people agree with this philosophically, but then in actuality, their feelings get hurt or they get offended when it is put into practice.
I'm not a fan of emailing back and forth and would much prefer to meet for drinks.
