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

Date someone special from Corona, United States. I'm not really sold on this online dating thing but thought it may afford an opportunity to meet people I wouldn't otherwise have the ability to meet.
I figure if you're willing to read this far into my profile, I can be brave enough to give you a small peek into who I am. So here goes...
I'm a fun-loving girl with a huge heart. I'm not guarded but if i'm not comfortable, I will graciously decline. I'm still learning about this love thing. They say practice makes perfect and i'm a good study :)
I've spent a lot of time focused on my career and I love what I do but what's become more important to me is work-life balance. I have a great group of friends that I do almost everything with. You may find us at concerts, at the river, riding bikes at the beach, barbecuing, or bar-hopping. I'm generally a dress and heels kind of girl but enjoy being comfortable in little shorts, a tank top , and my blanket at home. I'm pretty much always ready for a good time but also enjoy quiet time with the person i'm dating. Not to say i'm easily impressed, but if you offer to change my light bulb and take out my trash I'll likely be eagar to cook you dinner. Chivalry goes a long way and I enjoy opportunities to show gratitude.
In short...I'd like a partner to share experiences with. Someone who won't mind holding my purse (just for a minute) while I snap a photo or holding my hand as I walk up the stairs in HIS favorite high-heeled shoes.
