Date women from United States / California / Mission Hills, 41 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. SOULMATE
One of the hardest things I've had to learn is to talk about myself, so here it goes: I am passionate about the things I enjoy most out of life. My friends would describe me as witty, compassionate, genuine, fierce, humanitarian, with a pioneering spirit. My hobbies include the great outdoors, reading, writing and painting, it allows me to explore my inner-self ; I believe that growing beyond that is truly what life is all about. I enjoy spending time with like minded people who have a positive direction in life.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a happy, healthy and independent San Diego native, though I'm often mistaken as an east coaster (probably because I'm very honest, witty and not a flake :) I am blessed to have a great family, amazing friends and a career that I love.
I love to travel and experience different cultures and am frequently roping my friends into trying new things with me. I can often be found trying a new restaurant or experimenting in the kitchen. I am active and will typically take a yoga class, walk or hit the gym a few times a week. I love spending time with my friends and family, but I also really enjoy (and need) some solitude, and I respect that need in others as well.
I strive to be a person who is kind and compassionate and I appreciate those characteristics in a man, along with honesty, intelligence, ambition, optimism, and a great sense of humor (I promise to make you laugh as well :) I love it when a guy is willing to try something new (beware of ruts!). And I'm surprisingly old fashioned, so major bonus points for good manners and chivalry.
