Date men and women from United States / California / Oceanside, 33 year old

Date a soulmate from Oceanside, United States. I'm glad my headline didn't chase you away. My friends love to make fun of my hatred for squirrels.
In a nutshell (pun intended), I'm a botanist, so I spend most of my time outside studying the plant life around California, but I have a big love for southern California plant life. There are very few people who work in my field now so it gives me a lot pride knowing that I'm one of the few, the proud, the botanists.
Over the last 10 years I've traveled around most of California and some of Oregon and Nevada, so my career has made me have to travel a lot, but I'm tired of the single life and ready for somthing long term or permanent, but if you just want a cool, new friend who can teach you lots of interesting stuff then I'm up for that too.
I do still have to travel a lot for my work mainly to Palm Desert area, but I usually get to spend my time off at my apartment in Oceanside.
I've also voluntered as a Boy Scout leader for about 10 years now, so I've worked with kids in kind of a big brother capacity for a while. Volunteer work like that made me a much better person.
Being a scout leader provided years of endless amusement and funny stories. I'm proud to have been able to watch one kid I worked with grow-up and now he studies reptiles/amphibians at Davis. I'm always encouraging curiousity in slimy, stinky, scaly critters which revolts some of the parents, but learning begins with interest.
As anyone who knows me will say, I'm a jack-of-all-trades type and I do lots of stuff besides just running all over the place looking at flowers. I make my own distilled essential oils is just one; maybe I'll start my own business someday with that as part of it. Don't be surprised either if you seeing me breaking the toaster because there's nothing else that needs fixing, lol.
I dance about as well as a chicken on a hot stove right now and I've been hoping to meet someone I can learn with.
My type of work has lots of physical demands so I do stay in shape.
I don't have issues with X's because I don't have any. I've been staying single because of my career and having great times with all the places I've gotten to travel to and work in.
Although I feel like a dating klutz sometimes I do open doors and believe that chivalry isn't dead.
Most of all don't be shy about having a chat with me, I'm very polite and I promise it won't make you un-cool to talk to the plant nerd, lol.
The dreaded list:
* First off, guys who've contacted me I'm really flattered, but I'm just not that way :-)
* Nice ladeis who don't smoke only please.
* Please use proper spelling and grammar when contacting me.
* Being a triathlete isn't necessary, but a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise is great.
* Someone who appreciates terrible humor.
* I'd like to get this out of the way right now, please be financially independent because expecting a free dinner, tank of gas and someone to walk your dogs on the first date just doesn't fly with me. Yes, that happened.
* Certified squirrel catchers preferred (haha, I know).
* Someone who wants to share in my outdoor adventures, is happy with the simple things in life and doesn't mind me wanting to show them every amazing thing I see outside.

Meet people from Oceanside, United States. I'm goofy, I laugh a lot I usually find fun and humor in any situation.
I LOVE what I do and even if I came across a stack of cash, I'd stay in my profession pro bono, it's my passion.
I live very close to the beach so my beach cruiser and running shoes never really get "put away". I'm obsessed with kayaking right now.....not obsessed with the blisters it leaves on my hands though :-(
I can run around getting into adventurous mischief during the day (I even like to get dirty....literally) and turn around and get super girly with a short skirt stillettos when the sun goes down. By the way...I'm obsessed with sexy heels...It's my vice...
I believe in treating others as you want to be treated.
I believe in trying everything at least once or twice.
I'm always looking to learn more in life and education, so I'm always looking for what I can learn from people and situations.
I don't want to bicker or tiff about small stuff, about things out of our control or about anything having to do with jealousy (yuck)....I want to enjoy my partner and look forward to seeing each other because we know we're going to laugh hard, live it up, love passionately and pervertedly ;-) and just have a blast when we're together!!!
You?? You have my back and you KNOW I have yours!
You know I give you my all, in every way and you do the same for me. You are proud to have me and you actually brag about your chick.
My best friend of 17 years died suddenly in Januay just after turning 32.....you never know what will happen in life and have to live in happiness and appreciate everyone and everything around you daily!
Fun Facts;
I have 1 green eye & 1 hazel eye.
I've raced many times at Carlsbad Raceway (RIP).
I've been described (because I just asked a friend) as:
Outgoing, active, funny, legs for days & always smiling.

Date someone special from Oceanside, United States. I'm looking to meet someone who shares a positive attitude and doesn't dwell on every minor hiccup in life or create drama! (I have a very low tolerance for BS and people who flake). Patience, drive, and strength are important characteristics to me. Someone who strives to be happy and successful in life (and an incredible sense of off color humor) are very attractive to me as well as someone who is strong and confident to handle the ups and downs that come in life; someone I can lean on and equally lean on me.
I'd love to say that I'm big into fitness, but truthfully I haven't had the time to devote to it that I'd like in the past; but I'd really like to meet someone who is to bring it out in me. I'm attracted to guys who take good care of themselves and pride in their appearance (would you want a woman who didn't?) and will admit there's no better feeling than being wrapped up safe in strong arms
I have a 1 year old daughter, so it's so important to me to be around people who love kids. Also very important that they be understanding that I'm just not able to spontaneous and take weekend vacations on a whim no matter how much I'd like to! I'm a midwestern girl and I continue to hold those beliefs- family, loyalty, respect, and compassion are values I feel are a necessity. Known to be fiesty, I'm also well known to be a very caring and reliable person, I truly love going the extra mile to do something just to make someone smile.
Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile...
A little side note- please don't instant message me, the app on here is HORRIBLE

Meet a woman from Oceanside, United States. Compassionate healthcare provider with helping hands. A social butterfly who enjoys meeting new people and having a good time. Seeking sincere, honest, friendly man with a great sense of humor. Family is my priority and my match must be family oriented. Selective and seeking someone to compliment my life.

Date men and women from Oceanside, United States. Hi, I'm Stacy. I've been told I'm full of complexity. It's true, and I have to own it. At the end of the day, I'm happy with who I am, and that's enough for me. I grew up in Napa, moved to LA & then San Diego, was too busy crashing Hollywood parties & such when I was "college-aged," and then around 27 decided it was time to go home & get it done.
I finished school in 2010, and I'm finally able to move back to San Diego! My bags are nearly packed, and in a few short weeks I'll be happy to call North County home. :)
Work keeps me pretty busy, but I always make time for fun, as I think joy should always be a top priority. I write concert reviews for local music blogs (two in LA, one in SD). I also have several blogs of my own, one being focused on travel (food, wine/cocktails, shopping, sights), on which I also post a local section from home base between travels, and another being my own kitchen adventures (cooking, baking & cocktail recipes).
I grew up with four boys (my brother and three step-brothers), so I have a slight tomboy streak that manifests mostly as a love of sports. I enjoy football, baseball, and especially basketball. I've not missed a season (GSW) since I was 7.
I love to cook, bake, travel, explore new places (restaurants, bars, etc), enjoy the beach, and experience live music. I like to balance going out with staying in, because I appreciate the value in both. I can thoroughly enjoy a whole day of doing not much of anything, but the bottom line is I really try to take the most of my time on this planet, and cram as much fun into my days as I can while I can.
I'm looking for someone who's kind, honest, trustworthy, and his own man. Since I'm new to this part of SD (and newly relocated back to SD, for that matter), I'm hoping to make new friends and meet people and see what happens. I've been single for quite a while and am comfortable as such, but I'm here to meet someone special. What's better than finding someone to share your days with?

Meet a soulmate from United States. You have to have a sense of humor for me to even entertain a contact, I am big on organic chemistry so if I can't get past the initial "hmmmnnn" on your profile you will not be getting a response, I am a bit brutal with my honesty so if you are too sensitive, please skip my profile :-) it's not personal.
I am a textbook dominant Saggitarian, Forever in search of adventure, exploration and ivory tower of philosophies.

(haha I sound like a car) Down to earth, blah, blah, blah, I can tell you all the good things, but you will have to find out for yourself.
I'm never bored. Its not in my vocabulary.
I work full time, school part time. I'm an active person. Not a couch potato.
I would like to explore more of San Diego and North County, check out different places, local bands, new restaurants. I like to dance, but I'm not into the club scene. We don't need to spend tons of cash to have a great time.
I'm looking for a caring and goal oriented man, who wants a friend, a partner.
A man who is willing to work together, learn new activities, like kayaking or hoarse back riding, ride motor bikes. Staying home and catching up on movies, cooking dinner is also a nice way to spend an evening.

Meet men and women from United States.
So, here I am... after seeing all of the commercials on tv and thinking to myself, "I can find a date on my own! Who wouldn't want to be with a pretty, fun, loving, adventurous, athletic, incredibly modest girl?" And, then I realized I'm not in college anymore, my friends all seem to be married and popping out littles ones left and right, and haven't the slightest idea of how to meet a wonderful man. So far, the library, church and costco isn't working out... not that I'm there that often, and when I am, I'm usually not looking for a date...so one day I thought I'd listening to all of my friends and try this out, with hopes that I meet someone that I can enjoy & share the special things in life with.
For those of you, who are familiar with the Zac Brown Band "Toes" is a simple way to describe it best. Its a favorite, that always makes me feel good and want to jump on a plane and go to Mexico.
I grew up in Canada and Hawaii. I really miss having four seasons but I'm happy that I have to pay to see snow now. I love to watch Hockey, basketball & sometimes football. I use to play lacrosse & volleyball in high school. And when we moved to Hawaii I started paddling. Two great places I love to go home and visit.
I love to laugh and like to surround myself with good people that are positive and love life. I like to be up lifted by the people that are around me, not brought down. My biggest pet peeve's are people that live in the past and ignorance. I will give you the shirt of my back if you ask but hope you can return the favor.
I love to travel, beach days are a must, good food, MUSIC, and great conversations what else can a girl ask for...
