Date women from United States / California / Napa, 33 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Genuinely happy and optimistic, who appreciates life and all the little things it has to offer. After all, life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain, right? I am a simple, educated, well rounded, open minded, passionate yet down to earth person - your average chick next door. A beach girl at heart, if I wasn't working you could find me catching some waves or downing a beer and BBQing with family and a few choice friends. I enjoy everything from sports and travel, to music and movies. I am not afraid to try anything at least twice. The gym is my guilty pleasure and I look forward to annual urbanathalons to test my years worth of hard training. A bit of a tomboy growing up, I can hold my own a under the hood of a car or doing handiman work around the house. Rest assure though - I can clean up nicely as well. :) I look for the best in people, and get along comfortably and easily with others in any situation. I've been fortunate to have experienced the things I have, and see the things I've seen. I've done everything in life I've ever wanted to. Though some things didn't quite work out as planned, I feel like I've never failed at anything because my best efforts are put forth to whatever lies in front of me. My son is my world and I don't settle for anything less than his happiness.
I'm always up for meeting new people and making new friends. I am however, picky in the sense that I like to surround myself with good and positive people. I frequent both the bay and Sacramento areas to visit friends and family. Everyone has their preferences. Though I don't discriminate, I am most attracted to clean cut, respectful MEN (not boys - yes, there is a difference), who meet some of the qualities I've listed under "my date". (Sorry, I do not respond to those without pictures or IM/email me with vulgar messages. If you're trying to catch me using one of those two methods without knowing someone or using common sense, please note that I personally find it ABSOLUTELY C-R-E-E-P-Y!!!) I am looking for someone I can enjoy spending time with - without crazy expectations, without drama, and without stress. Just be yourself! If the mutual connection is there and things end up working out for the better - great! If not, no harm done and nothing's lost. :) Please do not confuse me for one of those girls that "needs" a man. I can definitely handle things on my own - just looking for someone I can click with. If in the end all things progress....I'm the type that likes treating a man well like he deserves. I definitely enjoy making the day of the person I'm with, though planned and unexpected surprises both big and small - often for no reason other than just to let him know he's thought of and appreciated. Humor melts my heart; humble confidence paired with a great conversation and sincere interest is sexy. Honesty is an absolute must, similar interests as myself is a plus.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm not good with explaining myself, better at doing it in person.
I want to find someone to enjoy the humor life has to offer. I enjoy the domestic life and enjoy cooking and entertaining, long drives to no where, lazy days in the sun. Exploring new places and finding that hidden restaurant that wows you. I love to laugh and cherish the small things. I love to dance with someone or by myself, great music is a must and everything else in moderation. I love my job and enjoy the demands it puts on me.
I've never been good at meeting new people, I tend to be shy and prefer to observe the wildlife.
I'm looking for friendship and possibly more.
