Date women from United States / California / Redlands, 34 year old

Date a woman from United States. About me....hmm? So what does one say about themselves in 1000 characters or less? I'm real and the only way to know what I am about is to spend time and get to know me...
I have a great career that I love, I make my own money so I'm not looking for someone to take care of me financially. I'm an attractive, intelligent, confident and passionate person. I'm educated, I have a good sense of humor, I'm honest, humble and genuinely care about others. I can be a little shy, but I am about as down to earth as you can get. I am blessed to have a lot of great people in my life whom I love. I'm just missing a friend and lover that I can share it with.
My children are always my priority, but it's important to have some things for myself, which is why I thought I'd give this a shot.. I go to church and have a relationship with Christ, I love my country and although I prefer country music, I like a wide variety, just depends on my mood.
As for my interests..I'm pretty diverse and enjoy a lot of different activities, always open to trying something new. I take care of myself, I Crossfit, run and I try to eat healthy a majority of the time..I love to cook and BBQ. Sushi is my favorite food. I love the beach, river and Havasu, I'm a great girl to have around if you enjoy off-roading, I've done it all, so I'm not afraid to get a little dirty. But, I am still a girl, so I do love to shop, spend time with my friends and like a little pampering now and again. I'm just as comfortable in a sexy pair of heels as I am in a pair of jeans and a tshirt. I have a sense of style, but I'm not high maintenance! I love to travel, road trips are my favorite. Sporting events are fun too. I'm competitive and enjoy challenging myself, such as competing in a race or obstacle course. I competed in the Baker to Vegas Relay in April and have a Mud Run and half marathon coming up in the next couple of months.
I'm not looking for a hookup or one nighter, so if you are I'm not the girl for you. I want a relationship with someone, who I can laugh with, enjoy some of the same activities and try new things. I want a man who values family, is driven, motivated, and can keep up with someone who enjoys a busy and active lifestyle. I don't mind a guy with tattoos, of course if you got them in prison then we have bigger issues. Ha...Truthfully physical appearance and age is not as important to me as having a mutual physical attraction. I am not perfect, but I am always striving to better myself, so I'd also like someone who also takes care of themselves; mind, body and soul. Friendship, respect and loyalty are the foundations for a relationship, I truly believe you get what you give in life, so it's important for me to ensure that the person I share my life with knows how much they are valued and I hope for the same in return.
You miss 100% of the chances you don't take...so take a chance and see what happens!

Meet someone special from United States. This a bit difficult for me to write "about me". For one - I don't particulary like to write about myself, and two - I am still settling into the idea I am on here. What is written here is in black and white, and to know someone is to experience a full rainbow of colors.
But ... here are a few things. I feel I am a dichotomy – I laugh and joke around often, but know when to be serious. Adventurous, but also enjoy a quiet evening in. Outgoing at times, but shy others. Like to go with the flow, but sometimes plans are beneficial. Balance is key!
Never thought it would be online, but I know a few successful couples that have met on here so I thought – I’ll give it a try!
