Date women from United States / California / Belmont, 32 year old

Date someone special from Belmont, United States. Good things come in small packages, or so they say; I promise, my personality is much bigger than my height! My sense of humor is super-sarcastic, so I can definitely dish it out... but don't worry, I can take it too ;). I am incredibly loyal to my friends and family, and connections with them are very important to me. Some of my closest friends live across the country (or across the ocean), and I work hard to stay in touch with and visit them.
I'm from Chicago originally, went to college out here (Stanford), spent 6 (long) years in Boston, and moved back to the bay area about two years ago. My background is in theater (stage management), but I'm currently a high school teacher. I recently joined a new gym, and I have to confess, I've become a bit of a gym rat, though I love being outdoors too. I work in SF, so I'm in the city every day, and frequently on weekends as well.
I'm a HUGE foodie-- you know the whole "eat to live" or "live to eat" debate? I fall on the far end of the "live to eat" spectrum. I've been known to travel half an hour (or more) out of the way just to try a new homemade ice cream or the best pastries in town. One of the best things about moving out here is the opportunity to try out tons of new restaurants. If I'm going to eat out, I want it to be somewhere good-- otherwise, I'd rather just cook for myself. I'm a solid cook, but an excellent baker-- if you're lucky, I'll let you try Rachel Cake sometime-- and yes, that's actually its name! :)

Meet a soulmate from Belmont, United States. I'm a caring person that values family and loved ones. I like to go out with friends, but also enjoy staying home and catching up on Tivo'd shows. I would love to meet someone who enjoys exploring new places, even if it's a new hiking trail to a new country. Life is to be lived.
