Date women from United States / California / Palo Alto, 26 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. I moved to the Bay Area in January 2012. I love it here - it's beautiful, the people are great and there are an infinite number of things to do!
I am educated, attractive, intelligent, spiritual and affectionate. I like to be outdoors and active. I surround myself with people and things that make me happy, most importantly my family and friends.
I am looking for friendship and maybe more. I believe an ideal match would be a nice combination of similarities, fun things we can do together and agree on, but nonetheless challenge each other with differences that elicit places to learn and grow in ourselves as well as a couple.

Meet a girl from United States. Don't be taken back by the seriousness that lies on the surface. Get to know me, and you'll see a loving, playful, and occasionally silly "little" girl.
Born in Asia, I moved to the U.S. as a teenager. Having lived in the Bay Area for 6 years, the cultural diversity, laid-back atmosphere, and good food really grew on me. During my brief trip to several western and eastern European countries, the beautiful landscape and bright sunshine left a deep impression on me. My wildest dream is to retire in, maybe Tuscany : )
I am considerate by nature. I love to see the joy that a simple thoughtful act or carefully chosen gift can bring to others.
I am romantic at heart, although I'm not vocal about it. I like to put things in subtle language, in writing. If you find it hard to appreciate subtleties, please walk on by.
I don't make promises easily, but have every intention of keeping the ones that I made. If you are quick to make promises and are even quicker to forget, please walk on by.
I am pretty, but not stunningly beautiful. If you are looking for a supermodel, please walk on by.
I am independent, and will not cling to my other half 24-7. I expect him to give me space when needed, and I'll respect his in return. In the unfortunate event that a nasty bug is present however, I'd really appreciate if he steps in as the "terminator".
I have many interests, albeit an expert at none. I play the piano, and enjoy going to art museums as well as operas, ballets, and musicals (Will miss "Les Miserables" in San Francisco this summer, bummer!). I love reading novels, and frequently write in my native tone.
My Mr.Right is independent, mature, adventurous, with a good sense of humor. A keen intellect, he is a master of thought provoking conversations. He loves to travel and explore new possibilities of life... Could it be you?
PS: I believe a good relationship takes two people that complement each other, and I will become a better person because of you. But if I have to put on makeup, wear heels, or dress like a fairy all the time for your to be happy, then I'm not your gal.

Date someone special from United States. IРІР‚в„ўm a grad student in molecular biology, studying plants and how they develop. I grew up all over the country (I was a software industry brat), and love being in new places and experiencing different ways of life. IРІР‚в„ўve lived overseas for extended period of time, primarily in England and Ecuador, and have made some of my best friends during these trips. In addition to my biology day job, I enjoy volunteering with kids, baking stuff for other people, biking in the hills, and walking around San Francisco. I also love to write, primarily poetry but sometimes short stories.
IРІР‚в„ўm very lucky to have a family I really enjoy being around (i.e., my mom and dad, as IРІР‚в„ўm an only child), as well as a few friends who are so close they are more like family. These friendships very precious to me and I make a real effort to keep them up, though in many cases, theyРІР‚в„ўre across miles and continents.
I'm looking for someone who is good-hearted, smart, and fascinating to talk to, with whom I can share my full and honest self.
