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

Date someone special from Oxnard, United States. Well... I love to hang out with my family and friends, nothing better. BBQ's or going to dinner are awesome and fun. I really enjoy the outdoors and hope that I find someone who loves to camp and doesn't mind the great outdoors. I'd definitely like to explore more and see what nature has to offer, before it's too late to enjoy.
Currently I'm studying to obtain my BA in Early Childhood Education and Admin, I enjoy working with kids very much. I'm grateful for my family and my children. I feel I have been given a second chance to better myself.
Been divorced a little over 2 years now. My kids are my life, however, I realize I need time away to myself and relax with good company. I don't mind dating a guy with or without kids. But please guys, miss me with the Baby Mamma Drama. Really not looking for that distraction.
I love to laugh and make people laugh too. I'm not a shy kind of girl; super friendly and outgoing. I'm a bit silly, I find laughter is always good. Although I'll admit I'm a horrible joke teller. But I'm sure to make you laugh once I open up. Looking for a person to bring out a smile in me as well.
I'm pretty open to trying new things and always up to meeting new people. I would like nothing more to meet someone who is not lazy. Get up and move it guys. This girl doesn't want a lazy guy. Wether it's dancing, hiking, walking, or anything else that seems fun. If it's not fun, we can make it fun and find humor in whatever it is that's being done.
Cooking is a great way to relax for me, I enjoy the aromas in the kitchen and love knowing my kids enjoy all the delicious food we make. I will taste almost anything at least once.
I'm not a super picky lady, although I don't like the games or drama that accompany the dating scene. I feel honesty is always the best policy, even if it offends or scares you.
So with all that said, here I am on a dating website, LOL. My friends think I'm crazy for doing this. But, obviously I'm meeting the wrong guys so what the heck, right? Lets see what's in store for me!

Meet a soulmate from Oxnard, United States. New to the Ventura area, I have been enjoying all that California has to offer. I've recently started running at the beach and participated in my first 5k. Currently, I'm training for the Big Sur Half Marathon. I'm feeling adventurous and would like to meet someone who is interested outdoor activities and trying new things. He would be a gentleman who knows how to treat a lady, have a good sense of humor, and intelligence that doesn't just come from books.
I have a wide range of interests that don't necessarily "fit" into a category. I love learning about people, places, and events. Ballroom and Swing dancing are two things that interest me, as well as learning to Poi dance. I enjoy going to Renfaires, museums, the theatre (plays, musical theatre, symphonies and the opera) and traveling. Scifi and epic fantasy are two of my favorite genres - both for movies and for books. Historical fiction is also something I enjoy; particularly Scottish or English historical fiction.
I work for one of the largest organizations in the world, and I have a job that is not only fulfilling but gave me the opportunity to pursue a Masters of Systems Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey. So, yes, that makes me a numbers girl.
Do you think you could keep up with me?
I don't do hookups, so if you are looking for that, keep on moving. Also, if you are married, go home to your wife creep!
My "perfect" match? That's difficult to pin down, but my ideal guy is a brawny mountain man. I like a guy with facial hair, but I'm not looking for ZZ top. Big arms, great smile.
Personality-wise? A gentleman, someone who knows how to treat a lady: opening doors, offering her his arm while they are walking down the street. Someone who knows what they want but doesn't feel the need to manipulate a situation to get it. I appreciate a man who's not afraid to say, "I'd like to spend time with you, but I don't want to do that." I know I have some quirky tastes that don't float everyone's boat, and my feelings won't get hurt by a little "no" once in a while. What he would do is follow through on commitments that he does make. My ideal guy would enjoy activities like kayaking, hiking, running, trying new things, and traveling. A guy who's into hunting, fishing, surfing, or weightlifting is attractive to me even though I don't participate (yet) in these activities. He wouldn't be opposed to attending a Renfaire or Scottish/Heritage festival with me. A guy who appreciates a dark beer, but wouldn't mind joining me for a glass of wine. Someone who enjoys reading, who is passionate about life and his hobbies.

Date a woman from Oxnard, United States. Look, I think IРІР‚в„ўm pretty awesome. But thatРІР‚в„ўs just my opinion. Well, my friends tell me IРІР‚в„ўm a catch, and I think itРІР‚в„ўs because IРІР‚в„ўm smart, funny and I bake them cookies. But I work hard on the truly important things in life; I use my brains to help people solve problems (IРІР‚в„ўm a high school counselor), my humor to entertain (laughter being the best medicine and all) and lifeРІР‚в„ўs just too short not to eat cookies. As IРІР‚в„ўve gotten older, IРІР‚в„ўve tried to seek wisdom rather than being right. And honestly, I know my flaws and weaknesses, and while I accept them, work to decrease them.
Lately, IРІР‚в„ўve just been trying to enjoy everything in life. And if thereРІР‚в„ўs something I donРІР‚в„ўt enjoy, I make myself! Seriously. I hated whisky, but heard that can be as complex as wine and that people enjoy it the same way. I bought a big bottle of expensive whisky and drank it until I liked it. Not all in one night. Now a Highball is one of my favorite cocktails.
I really, really do find pleasure in the simple things. Every day I tell my cup of coffee that I love it and want to run away with it. The blue, blue sky; singing at the top of my lungs (isnРІР‚в„ўt it amazing that everyone has their OWN musical instrument they can take with them all the time?); scoring 109 points on a word in words with friends (I should probably mention here that IРІР‚в„ўm super competitive).
IРІР‚в„ўm an information sponge and a full-blown nerd. If I donРІР‚в„ўt know something, I canРІР‚в„ўt rest until IРІР‚в„ўve looked up the answer (god bless my iphone). I love, love, love to read. Have you ever listened to Radiolab? That ish is fascinating. Go download a podcast. Honestly, I think that being interested is what makes a person interesting. Curiosity is a turn-on.
Laughing is tied with learning on my favorite things to do list (there are a lot of ties). EveryoneРІР‚в„ўs looking for a sense of humor. I think most people have one. Finding someone who laughs at the same things you do is a treasure. I try to make people laugh all the time. I think I succeed; however, I could be deluding myself. Maybe theyРІР‚в„ўre just being polite. Funny books, funny tv, funny movies, funny people. I like to surround myself.
HereРІР‚в„ўs what is important to me in another human being: humor, an open mind, thoughtfulness, generosity, loyalty, kindness and honesty (which is more than just telling the truth. It means being forthcoming and direct.) IРІР‚в„ўm diplomatic, but IРІР‚в„ўll tell the truth and I hope you can handle it. IРІР‚в„ўm a passionate girl who laughs and cries easily, but IРІР‚в„ўm definitely NOT type A and IРІР‚в„ўm emotionally mature and intelligent (i.e., NOT CRAZY). IРІР‚в„ўm independent, but love having a partner. I love my routine, but crave adventure and new experiences. I love close relationships. I am an introvert and prefer a few good friends than being with a bunch of people I hardly know.
My ultimate goal is a committed, long-term relationship. Ideally, for life.
Ok, you, man who agrees with me and thinks they can measure up to my high standards. Contact me. LetРІР‚в„ўs be awesome together.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a single mother of 2 children who balances spending time with my family and work. I don't have much time to go out and meet new people, which is why I have decided to try out Match.com.

I would like to meet someone who can relate and understand my situation.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I am just looking for a good guy, someone who likes to have fun. I am hoping to meet someone with the same interest that I have. I believe that the best relationship starts out by becoming friends. If its meant to be then the rest will take its course.
Let me give you a little info about me. I am from Ventura County born and raised. I was in Law Enforcement for 9 years and got tired of dealing with all the crazies. I joined the Air Guard and love it!! I have had a great opportunity to travel the world and was lucky enough to get a great paying job with a cool schedule. I am successful with both jobs and decided to take a bigger step in starting my own business and go back to school. No man wants to date a dummy!!! haha.
I am new to the dating scene. So please forgive me if I act like a nerd on the first date. I am a firm believer that you don't put on a front on the first date. Just let it all hang out.. Well I mean be yourself and have fun. The way I look at things is this is an experience and will allow me to meet great people, friends, and hopefully a good dude.
I will say this. My pictures are legit, recent, and yes I promise I am the same weight. I hope that you display the same!! I also believe that you should have a physical attraction to someone because if you end up together you will have to see that mug on a daily basis!!
