Date women from United States / California / La Mesa, 33 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I would consider myself a very humble and outgoing individual with a warm and humorous personality. I'm run somewhat on a weekly routine to keep myself in balance but I always try to make time for myself and others as well. My best friend who has known me since the 6th grade describes me as funny and crazy and verbatim these were a few words she posted on my FB profile: "I must say I'm so proud of you sis, you truly are a rare jewel, beautiful on the outside but most importantly on the inside, keep up the great work"
It makes me feel good inside when I know that I've made a positive difference in someone's life. I am grateful for my ability to see both sides of an equation and be able to relate to people in different ways.
I love art, photography, and music, and animals. I like being outdoors hiking, jogging, going to the beach, sitting in cozy little cafes to enjoy coffee or wine with good company that I can talk with for hours on end. I enjoy staying in by the fireplace on a cool night and watching movies and cooking meals with others. I am extremely dedicated to physical fitness and eating well. I workout at least 5 days a week and that is a priority for me. I'm not big on sports at all so I wouldn't know who is in the playoffs for anything unless its a pizza making/eating challenge! Don't get me wrong though, I'll happily watch a football game or even attend a baseball game with you.
I am of course looking to engage with someone who is geographically close. I've tried the long distance thing before and it just doesn't work for me.
I'm very affectionate and anyone I date has to be the same way. I love the feeling of a genuine warm embrace, it reminds us that we are human and need love.
I appreciate anyone who has an open mind and can make me smile or laugh, I love having the feeling of lightness and happiness rather than too much seriousness, but at the same time, someone who can communicate with me through both actions and words. I take one day at a time and go with the what I feel at the moment.
I'm hoping to attract someone who likes a lot of the same things that I do and who can flow as easily as me, and who takes as much pride in taking care of themselves and who is into physical fitness as much as I am. I don't see it as a conceited thing. I see it as someone who can take care of themselves and is happy with themselves inside and out, will have the ability to care for/love another person as well.
I like to see others do positive things in their life, whether it be a hobby, a career or volunteering their time for a cause. As long as they are content with what they do regardless of what their status is.
This short "biography" just barely touches the surface of who I am and the things that I like. I have very diverse likes and tastes in everything just about.
