Date women from United States / California / Claremont, 31 year old

Date a woman from United States. As a strong willed girl with a traditional mindset, I am a spontaneous type A personality that always needs to stay busy. I am family oriented and the person that is with me needs to feel the same. In hopes to find someone that is well educated and/or a hard worker. Ambtion, drive, and a curiosity for life are essentials. I'm seeking a leader, powerhouse, enthusiastic, spiritual, energy filled MAN, who is also not afraid to have and express a gentle touch; there cannot be a 'yin' without its 'yang'. A man of his word, that stands up for what he believes in and defends what is his are some great characteristics you might have. In search of that passionate man who is ready to hold on to something real and fun and something really fun. :) I am playful and at times sarcastic, Staying young at heart is a must! I hope to find someone that enjoys being active, wants to show me something new and is willing to learn new things. Keeping an open mind and being present in your life are attractive and irresistible traits.
Looking for my best friend / soul mate. I'm not looking for "Mr. Cool Guy" or anyone too conerned with their looks they don't bother to think about the world around them. A traditional man with manners and class that knows how to treat a lady and knows what courting means. I do not seem to have a "type", but when I meet someone who is passionate about something be it their career, a hobby, society or travelling...it is my weakness. Be confident not cocky! A man with a handsome face can totally kill it for me with a bad attitude or bad personality. I CAN'T BE AROUND ANYTHING FAKE. A false Identity is one who doesn't care to search for a true self.
Always looking for a good time, I can party with the best of 'em, but that ship has sailed and I'm ready to relax and encounter new, more exciting avenues! My friends consider me to be laid back with an adventerous streak. I'll be skydiving on my birthday! I need a partner in crime, honest , reliable, trustworthy with a sense of strength and vigor for life.
I have great taste in Beer...Belgium, my fave Chimay Red to be exact...who doesn't love sushi and I have a soft spot for middle eastern food... I know all the best hole in the wall mexican spots L.A has to offer, but love trying new fusion exotic dishes.
I take my time with things because with time only come the best things in life.
Traveling is my passion!!!! Excited to see more of the world.
