Date men and women from United States / California / Castro Valley, 33 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a big believer that everything happens for a reason and whether it's a good or bad experience it is up to us to see the positive in it. We either can learn from it, grow and move on, or get angry, resentful and blame everybody else. Plus, we are the creators of our destiny so the outcome of a circumstance is the result of our choices. Lets focus on the positive.
I enjoy being spontaneous and constantly doing different things, though lately I will admit that I have been falling short but it's due to life's changes. I still enjoy every day and every breath as much as I can.
I have been told a couple times before that I am "too positive"...and I try to be!!! But I will let you be the judge of that, if we ever meet.
I truly enjoy meeting new people and having good conversation, I love to learn and grow from what others have to offer. I am always open for growth whether it be personal, spiritual or professional.
I have also been described as a woman who has her priorities straight. Having said that, my son is my #1 priority and always will be!
One thing I can NOT stand is having a messy place so I would recommend that if you are the opposite and/or are looking for someone to clean after you then please do NOT waste your and my time because it will NOT work out. Also, if you are a person that lies either because you enjoy it, habit, whatever reason...you know who you are and how you act, so if you fit the description even for a split second then avoid yourself the trouble. Somehow I always find out. Seriously! ;) Jealous, insecure, possessive, arrogant, narcissist, egocentric, selfish, love being the center of attention, always have to be right, speaking over others are not qualities I value. Im just being honest ;)
What I enjoy most in life is laughing; smiling and making others do the same. I suck at telling jokes though... I warned you :)
Love outdoor stuff. Being exposed to nature is my way of refueling my soul. I will choose a camping trip, a weekend in Yosemite over Vegas, any day. Some of my passions include fitness and dancing. Wish I could be a pro at salsa dancing.
I am most proud of who I have become with the years, I believe I have what it takes to be successful and all that I am lacking is that special someone to share it with.
I am looking for my best friend, partner, lover, and accomplice. Someone I can trust and depend on 200%, a man who isn't afraid of commitment and I mean commitment in every way. Someone who won't want to hike up the mountain in front of me or behind me but alongside me...if this makes any sense and resonates with your being then we might have more in common than you think. I will look forward to meeting you! Also a family man, with strong values and principles. If you're still into the party scene then I'm not the one for you.
As most humans on this earth I have been pretty badly hurt and disappointed in the past, and I am still a bit skeptical of this process but something in my gut is telling me and has been for quite some time to give it a try so here I am...
One favor, if we are going to meet I ask one thing. Lets keep it Real and simple, always!!! Looking forward to good times and if we don't work out hope we can at least be friends.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I want to get back on the dating scene, as I recently separated. I want to get to know quality man, that are both fun loving, and responsible, honest adults. I like people that are easy going, but at the same time are able to have substantial conversations and care about life and others: family, friends, their work, their health, personal growth.

Date someone special from California, United States. Lets start with a poem:
Life is up,
Life is down,
but it is up to us
to make it count.
Give it your best,
work hard for success,
still let go sometimes
but don't make a mess.
Respect those who help you
and help the ones who don't .
But pride in your efforts
and joy in your tears .
At low points,
workers succeed.
At high points ,
remember who you are.
Overall , just live to the end,
and take risks because
you only have one shot:)
So so so HONESTY,
is my first priority, I prefer to hear the truth even I don't like it.don't ever try to lie to me,cause I'm a smart and intelligent woman.
I'm looking for a honest loyal man,that having relationship with him and moreover makes me feel better than now. I am on Match.com to find a gentleman for the long term not to serial date. I want to fall in love and be loved and that takes time for me. I need a partner,who is living near to me , having time to spend with me,and his age is not important.He can be 18 or 45 but not older:)
Although like the other women I love to listen nice compliments from guys but truly receiving emails like:
How sexy u are!!!!!
Wow you are so pretty!!!!
are not appeal to me!It's so important to me that how a guy start a communicating with me.
.I'm not a very easy going girl and a little bit stubborn .I'm so sensitive ,independent,respectful , pride, smart and warm girl with a very kind heart. Appearance is important to me,,being with a chic guy is really enjoyable to me,I don't expect you to wear a Gucci watch and a Channel tie,but paying attention to the colors and what is match with what is effective. I like young guys with salt and pepper hair:)
One of my bad attitudes is being picky about foods,and I don't like sea foods:(.I prefer to have a nice plate of Italian foods with glass of wine more than the others. I love vegetables and fruits and chicken and overall healthy foods.
I need someone to give me positive energy,someone that I enjoy to be with him and spending time with him.However I like dining out ; I love cooking at home (I'm a good cook), drinking wine and listening to a nice music with my partner .OMG it is really relaxing:)What about you???Do you like??
