Date men from United States / California / Pinole, 26 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. Life has and will always be a challenge, and after 26 years of life, I am ready for the next big step. Each of us has experienced life in a different way, and has therefore made us who we are both mentally and physically. The man that I have become, is for the simple reason that my father never was. Challenges will always arise in life and one must always find the strength to surpass them and become a better individual by learning from them.
I have worked hard all my life to get to the point of where I am. Now I finally have the time to enjoy life and be able to travel. Yet there would be no better way than with someone who I would cherish for the rest of my life. I am seeking an educated, mature woman, who knows how to value what she has, who knows how to respect herself and always be honest, and be able to brighten any day with a good sense of humor.
It does not take a lot to please me. A simple night at home while watching a movie and cooking dinner together is just as special as going out to dinner.
On the weekends I hang out with former high school friends, other times with co-workers, or simply with my family. With them I do anything from partying, to simply grilling food in the yard, take the dogs for a hike as well, or go celebrate after completing a hard and stressful project at work. Other times I will simply work around the house and make some modifications and/or renovations.
