Date men and women from United States / California / Novato, 27 year old

Date someone special from Novato, United States. Ok here it goes: Hello. My name is Kate, I'm single and would love to find someone special. I'm what my mom calls, "comfortably naive" and what my friends call, "A glass half-full kind of girl". In short, I'm a genuinely happy person (usually). I smile a lot and even more when I'm nervous. You should know that I tend to talk a lot too (*especially* when I'm nervous).
I knew what type of career I wanted to do when I was little and went ahead and did it. And I LOVE my job... most days. What do I do? Well I guess you will just have to ask me :)
I'm a big family person. My parents and my sister helped make me the person I am today. My cousins and I just finished running the Disneyworld Half-Marathon and just signed up to run the Disneyland Half-Marathon in September (though I generally dislike running and find it to be a necessary evil). I am a bit of a romantic and old-fashioned. I like it when a guy opens my door for me, calls first, and makes a sincere attempt to plan something we might both enjoy doing. That being said I am not afraid to try something new. I have been skydiving, fishing, and white water rafting and went to a remote village in Alaska to volunteer for the Iditarod (dog sled race).
I am also very close to my friends and co-workers. They are an extension of my family and I love them very much. I also love to laugh and am a bit of a nerd (again, you will have to ask me about that).
I am looking for someone is genuinely kind, chivalrous and who makes me laugh. Send me a message, I would love to meet you!
