Date women from United States / California / Laguna Hills, 28 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. Triple Threat...Looks, Books, Cooks! :) I'm a very passionate woman who is excited for what the future holds and am looking for someone special to share it with. My family and close friends are extremely important to me because these are the people who help keep me grounded, encourage me to do my best, and make me laugh until I cry...(p.s. all of these are qualities that I'm looking for in a guy). I grew up in Southern California and have been teaching Middle/High school for the past 4 years. I love my career and find working with kids extremely rewarding. In my free time I enjoy seeing my friends and family, hosting get togethers with my sister, playing some sort of sport or game, taking hot yoga classes, trying out new recipes, being outside on a hike or down at the beach, or listening/dancing to live music (Belly Up is one of my favorite venues)
Ideally I would like to meet someone who shares my enthusiasm, enjoys exploring life, and knows how to relax and have a good time. Send me a message if you're interested...but please keep in mind that I prefer getting to know someone in person (a.k.a. Not a fan of excessive emailing)
I like guys who...have a sense of humor, are hard working, educated, dedicated, honest, open-minded, family oriented
I'm not a fan of guys who are...judgemental, materialistic, rude, close-minded, think drugs are cool, selfish, or homophobic
