Date women from United States / California / El Segundo, 34 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I moved here from Chicago twelve years ago; and although I'm now a Cali girl, I still have my midwest values. I consider myself to be genuine, honest, down to earth, and easy going. I love anything to do with the beach, from relaxing on the sand to kayaking, paddling, snorkeling, or playing volleyball. I love grabbing a cup of coffee and going for a walk on the strand, and I wish I had more time to get down there. I am very close to my family even though they are far away, and they will always be an important part of my life. I definitely have a sweet tooth and like to bake and cook. There's something to be said about a quiet evening at home with pizza and a movie, but I also love going out for sushi, Italian, or a great steak dinner! I'm done with the bar scene every weekend and definitely don't think that I'll meet my guy at one. But don't get me wrong, I still love girl's nights out!
I'm not gonna lie, I'm looking for someone that is ready for a relationship; someone who I can trust, count on, be a best friend that I love hanging out with, and someone who is looking for the same in me. I would like a family when I meet the right person and when the time is right. And I can't wait to get a dog when I get out of apartment living.
Enough about me for the moment, now about you...I'm looking for someone with similar qualities who is honest, outgoing, motivated, fun, but at the same time can take a step back and relax to enjoy life. And you must love dogs, either have one or want one. Hopefully thats not too much to ask for.
