Date someone special from California, United States. I am orginally from the midwest. I ended up in Southern California for work, fell in love with the sun, surf and sand and never looked back! I've been on the Central Coast for awhile now and have finally started to settle in. I have seen and done enough to start to fall in love with the area, it would be nice to meet someone who has shared interests to continue my exploration with. I love to be outside and have found a lot of great places to hike and run. I am very active, I work out (in some capacity) almost every day. I'm not obsessive about my weight or body but am looking for someone who can keep up with me. I work hard and am driven and am looking for someone who understands and appreciates that, not someone who "admires" that. If you don't have goals and amibitions of your own we probably won't be a good match. I'm pretty well established and am looking for someone who is in the same place in their life. If you are living at home with your parents, in a thirty something frat house or just going back to school to start your life over again, probably not a match. I'm outgoing and sociable but not over the top and don't really do well with people who are on the extreme ends of that spectrum (either too shy or too loud). I've been told I look better in person, I don't find myself to be exteremly photogenic but have tried hard to post pictures that represent what I really look like. If you haven't done the same I probably won't respond, I appologize in advance but I have heard way too many horror stories.
