Date women from United States / California / Lake Elsinore, 31 year old

Date someone special from Lake Elsinore, United States. Relocating to Houston, Oct 2012
Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!
**Disclaimers**
1. I have absolutely no interest in dating a man w/a child/children. I prefer to create my own family thanks.
2. I am partial to southern men, charm mannerisms as my family is from the south. Those men know how to do it right!
3. Most important fact: I am a Christian woman and behave as such and continue to grow in my quest, if you have a problem with that, and are not on the same page, we will definitely not be a match.
4. If you are a serial texter and have somehow forgotten how to pick up the telephone and make an actual phone call...BEAT IT! Adults make phone calls...at least they did before technology rid everyone of their manners/courtesy.
On to the essay part:
Heeeey Y'all
I am a jewelry designer by education an artist by nature including photography, writing fiction, non-fiction and poetry, painting, sewing, metalsmithing, played piano and sang once upon a time etc.
I am also a business woman, carving my spot in this world as a heavy contender. I have huge plans for humanitarian, and philanthropic efforts. I have had my passport for ages and plan to travel to 3rd-world countries and all over internationally to experience more of the world as that's the purpose for it being here. It'll allow me to remain grounded, humble and give back to those who are less fortunate than myself.
I love to cook! I eat healthily on a daily basis, but will throw down in the kitchen on all things bad for you for special occasions it's sooooo yummy. Often told that I should be a personal chef, open a restaurant or start catering. My friends call me regularly asking what's for dinner, lol. I also loooove to eat, great tasting food can be the ultimate... I'm not a big girl by any stretch of the imagination, nor is it in my DNA to be. I just happen to be in touch with my inner pleasantly plumpness. I love outdoor activities, water sports, a good hike, beach playtime, camping, skiing/snowboarding etc. I plan to have my sister teach me to surf this summer, as she taught me to snowboard several yrs ago. I also value great friends and family at the top of my value system.
I can be at times a hopeless romantic who loves her space and loves his too, lol. Very ambitious and goal oriented in the midst of altering my life and taking the major steps necessary for my ultimate happiness (as I have defined it). I do not have the patience for laziness, lack of common sense, ignorance or chauvinism. Chivalry should not be dead and it behooves you to know it.
A man who believes in a woman being his rib (After all, that is how Adam got Eve, isn't it? ), partner and someone to explore this thing called life with in every facet be they good or bad is ideal.
If you've made it this far, you've clearly got something decent going on for yourself and i'd love to hear from you and find out what type of friendship we can build upon.
Other than that, enjoy your match experience and best wishes to you all.
