Date women from United States / California / Fremont, 37 year old

Date someone special from Fremont, United States. I recently moved back to the area after spending the last few years in Sacramento. Even though I loved living there, it's great to be back in the Bay Area closer to family and friends. I guess I'm somewhat of a "big city girl with small town values". Friends usually describe me as being down to earth, optimistic, and independent.
I enjoy weekend getaways, traveling, and new experiences, but also take comfort in familiar places and things. Getting dressed for a night out is fun, but sometimes it's nice to kick off my heels to enjoy the outdoors or take advantage of a relaxing day in. I like all kinds of food and enjoy trying different restaurants and having a drink or a glass of wine with good company. I appreciate many different types of music, art, and culture. I like to live my life in balance which includes spending time with family, hanging out with friends, appreciating the simple things in life, continuously learning and growing, exploring new places, trying new things, and being spontaneous.
I've been fortunate and am blessed with a great life with wonderful family and friends. I am happy with who I am and where I am. I've been happily single the last couple of years and am ready to share my life with someone special. Although I am open to a relationship with the right person, I am not in a rush and would like to spend time getting to know someone. I'm usually attracted to the way a guy carries himself. Some qualities I admire are honesty, loyalty, intelligence, humor, confidence, humility, a fun loving spirit, and an easy going attitude. I'm looking for someone who is kind, thoughtful, respecful of others, and enjoys doing things for people they care about. Someone who makes me laugh and doesn't take things too seriously, but can be serious in certain situations. I'm looking forward to that spark and chemistry and to meeting my "partner in crime" and best friend to build a trusting and supportive relationship with to have fun and enjoy life with.
