Date a soulmate from 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 single man from California, United States. I am a native to San Diego. I have visited many places in the US and a few outside but always seem to remain here. I love San Diego! I am interested in meeting someone that is down to earth, honest and looks at the future. I appreciate an independent/out-going woman that is sweet, kind and has a sense for adventure. Someone that I can laugh with and can make me laugh.
I enjoy to travel, though I have not had much opportunity (and am too chicken to go alone) I would like to meet someone who is also up for seeing the sites and being new places. I have a bit of a soft spot for historical places and beautiful sites.
I have a small family with a very interesting relationship. We all get along and argue from time to time, but at the end of the day we are family and will always be there for each other. I am looking for someone who is also into family and someone I can build a family with.
I am not looking for a quick fling or anything like that, just someone I can get to know, have fun and build a relationship with. Friends are good too, so if things don;t work on the dating side friendship is a plus. I don't play mind games and if you want to know something, all you have to do is ask.
I enjoy bowling, pool, movies and outdoor activities. Roller-coasters and amusement parks are a nice get away. And I have always wanted to go skydiving. I do have a tattoo, although its on my upper arm so I can cover it at work.
Let me know if your interested and we will see where things go.
New News: I just moved to Oceanside in July, bought a Condo and looking for someone to hang out around town with.
Date someone special from California, United States. Hi, thanks for stopping by.
About me: I’m super active, love my dog and friends. I'm not afraid to be right or wrong and have a large appetite for life. I’m open to different religious and political views and generally enjoy learning about them all, but, generally tend to lean more toward the "liberal with a spine" side of things. I believe in free trade markets but am against monopolies. I would rather eat at a mom and pop shop then a chain restaurant. My goal, eudaimonia.
If: If you and I hadn't met here we'd have most likely meet in Trader Joe's, maybe REI or while I was getting out of the water after a sunset surf session and you were finishing your run along the beach. There's a strong possibility we may have met while backpacking in Eastern Sierras or Yosemite. We might have bumped into each other at the gym or our local coffee shop. It would most likely have been after seeing each other a few times then just happening to sit next to each other. But, we didn't, and I'm ok with that too.
About her: She’s smart but not pretentious. When she smiles it’s infectious. Her friends are protective of her because they know how special she is. She’s extremely loving and loyal to the people in her life. She has a strong moral foundation and is somehow involved with bettering the lives of people while genuinely caring about the wellbeing of people. Traveling is something she enjoys. She’s not too high maintenance and is passionate about her beliefs. She’s open minded and generally pretty intuitive when it comes to her own emotions and the emotions of others. Did I mention she’s smart? I’ll do it again since I find it so attractive. She's also a strong minded person, but with me, she's delicate and open. She does what I do poorly well, and makes me feel like she’s never loved anyone else.
Ultimately online dating is different than meeting in “real life" for many reasons and we should adjust our dating expectations accordingly. I’m not expecting we meet and fall in love right away, but I expect to build towards something long-term. With that said, I’m not here to casually date. Our life/ time is valuable, and it’s important to fill it with someone there's a real chance of there being a connection I don't want to part with.
At this point, I know what I want, I know how to keep it and I know how to have a great relationship. I feel like I have a lot to offer and I'm looking for someone who feels the same. So really, there's no reason for either of us to settle.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Just looking for someone laid back and cool to talk to, Nothing more, nothing less. Someone who likes to stay active and then become completely lazy as well.. I am not someone who likes to rush things. I am also extremely patient with most everything in life....Are my 200 words up yet?..... ;)
Date a man from California, United States. I hate to have to describe myself. I am constantly changing. I am a passionate and giving person that is wanting more out of life. I do not smoke or do drugs and I seldom drink. I love the outdoors and almost all animals.
I am looking for an open minded person that can carry an intelligent conversation. Someone who can be serious and goofy when the time is right. I am not looking to be taken care of. I enjoy taking care of my partner in every way possible.
I enjoy learning and doing new things. I am both analytical and creative. I have burned the candle at both ends and have been the all work and no play kind of person. I am looking for that one person to help me slow down and remind me how to enjoy life.
I work full time and have recently gone back to school for a degree in Biology. I plan to apply for a position with an animal rehabilitation center when I have completed my studies.
I was recently asked, "What is my type?". To be honest, I can't answer that. I have a type of person I am attracted to physically and a type mentally as well as emotionally. Sometimes I just have to meet someone and get a feel for them. I would rather date someone of average looks and a good heart and mind then to date a good looking woman that is neither kind hearted nor intellectually stimulating. I am not a brainy type I just have deep thoughts and emotions. I love good conversation, but I also realize my energy keeps me from being the best listener.
We all have flaws and some are acceptable. I am not looking for the perfect match, just the match that is perfect for me. No one can be perfect on the first date but the date can always be perfect even if the people in it aren't.
I may be asking for too much, but I know I deserve it.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I graduated from FSU back in 02 and I have had the same job for over 16 yrs. My friends would describe me as friendly, loyal, a joker, persistent, career driven, stubborn, and most of the times nice. But, most importantly loyal, sincere, and straight forward to a fault.
I consider myself open minded and outgoing. I like trying new things and daring to try things that others would walk away from. Such as drinking Mare milk, eating snails (cooked of course), Ostrich (pretty good), duck's liver (not good/dont try it), and as of the last month fried frogs. Almost forgot! I have eaten Camels! Yes, Camels!
Two thing I just started doing:
1. I have started Martial Art training. I am training in Krav Maga! Amazing training and good fitness program.
I love traveling and exploring the world. I have visited Germany, Spain, France, Mongolia, Nicaragua, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia in the last 1 1/2 yr. Needless to say, I have a few experiences that I would love to share! People have asked me what has been my favorite place. So, here is the answer: All of them. Each one had something interesting, intriguing, and really unique to the location.
My perfect match? Answer: I am not sure. Each person is unique and I am sure that i will know the perfect match when I meet her.
Things I like to do: Convincing friends to sponsor kids (from the U.S or Oconus) since I sponsor (5) kids from Nicaragua, volunteering to teach kids to play sports (mainly soccer), and sometimes helping at homeless shelters.
If you like what you read, Do not hesistate to email me. If not, thank you for reading my profile and I wish you the best of luck in your search.
Date someone special from California, United States. I am a giving person who enjoys being a naturalist but needs the adrenaline rush every now and then. Long walks in parks but using my motorcycle to get there. I pride myself in helping others less fortunate. I do have a tendency to put others before me. I learned that from having kids... it's part of my nature now. I'm looking for someone who doesn't mind the quiet nights and long walks yet loves to exercise, take that motorcycle ride and enjoy life.
