Date men from United States / California / Culver City, 33 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm originally from the Midwest. I was born in Indiana, and grew up in Colorado and Iowa, with a few summers living and going to school in Hawaii. After high school, I moved to Los Angeles for college and law school.
I went to a private grade school, public high school, private college, and public grad school. It was definitely an adjustment, but it gives you a really good appreciation of the pros and cons of each system.
I’m half Japanese and half German, 4th generation both sides. Half of my relatives live in Hawaii and the other half in Chicago. Needless to say, it’s a great excuse to travel to 2 really great places. Also, since my dad retired in June and my parents started splitting their time between Hawaii and Las Vegas, I have even more good reasons to travel.

I’ve always loved sports. I swam competitively in both high school and college. I actually played baseball all the way up through the start of high school, at which point I decided to switch to swimming. Also, I’ve always enjoyed playing baseball, basketball, football, golf, tennis, and bowling.
Baseball is my favorite sport by far, I’m a big St. Louis Cardinals fan. My dad has always been a Chicago Cubs fan, and my best memories have always been going to baseball games or talking baseball with my dad. I also like the atmosphere at a baseball game the best out of all the sports, outdoor and laid back, you can just enjoy the weather and the food and the game. If you’ve only been to Dodger Stadium, that probably doesn’t make sense to you. It’s actually a lot different if you go to a baseball town like Chicago or St. Louis. With that said, I love going to basketball, football, or even hockey games. UCLA-USC at the Rose Bowl – sign me up!
I miss the Midwest sometimes, especially around the holidays. People there were just so much nicer, more polite, happier, and had better values. I don’t miss the below zero temps during the winter or the 100% humidity during the summer, haha. But waking up on Christmas morning with no snow on the ground will always seem kind of wrong to me.
I love traveling! I’ve been to Japan a few times, China a few times, Mexico a few times, Canada, India, England a few times, Wales, Scotland, France, multiple Hawaiian islands multiple times, and to most of the states in the US. I’ve got some amazing stories from those trips, especially India. My dream vacation would be 1 week in London during Christmas and then 1 week in Paris for New Years.
My favorite movies probably include Lost in Translation, Nick Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Up, Love Actually, Ocean’s 12, Kung Fu Panda 2, Rush Hour 2, Scott Pilgrim, and The Avengers.
My job is mostly employment and entertainment law, but I promise I’m not like any lawyer you’ve met. I always put family and friends before work, I never take work home, I never work on the weekends, I don’t work long hours, I don’t drink or smoke, and I’m not argumentative. I’m actually a pretty happy, funny, helpful, laid back, and responsible person. My friends say my personality is more like that of a teacher than a lawyer. I ended up in law because my dad was a lawyer, and when I was little I decided I wanted to be just like him. I ended up being pretty good at, so I’ve just kept doing it since law school.
About you:
Someone who hasn't lost her childlike wonder and innocence;
Someone who knows with certainty what her values are;
Someone who is truly happy with the person she is today, and who doesn't feel the constant need to prove something to herself or others;
Someone who is always smiling;
Someone to travel with;
A best friend;
Someone to have adventures with (an Ellie to my Carl if you've seen “Up”);
Someone who works to live and doesn't live to work;
Someone who can be equally happy dressing up for a fancy dinner or throwing on jeans and a baseball cap; and
Someone who brings out the best in me and who I bring out the best in.

Meet single man from California, United States. Pretty new to LA and new to personals. I moved out here from Florida for work a few weeks ago. I am now all settled in and am starting to look to meet some fun people around here to explore the city and area.
