Date men and women from United States / California / Seal Beach, 32 year old

Date men and women from Seal Beach, United States. Hmm...I will keep this brief since anything really worth knowing about me cannot be put into a short paragraph...i will however say that I would like to meet someone who is excited about life and makes the most out of every situation. I would much rather be out doing some kind of physical activity (biking, hiking, kayaking-you name it I'm up for it.) rather than shopping. I enjoy being outdoors and feel that it helps me keep some type of balance in the everyday craziness of life.
I am at a point in my life where I know that love is a gift and should be treated as such. I am loyal, often to a fault, but also realize that when it's right it should just come naturally and not require too much forced effort. I will be honest & must say that I am not sure exactly about the whole match.com thing. I am trying to approach this with an open mind and in hopes of finding somebody that is as determined to live a life full of love, joy, & passion as I am. I believe that physical attraction and chemistry is important, but also need the emotional connection as well.
Another important part of me (actually the most important part of me) is my son. He is awesome and amazing in so many ways. I do not just say that because he is my son, I say it because he truly is. I see glimpses of the man he is growing up to be and it makes me so proud. So needless to say, anyone that comes into my life will have to appreciate the fact that I'm a package deal ;)

Meet a woman from Seal Beach, United States. A few things about me:
I have dinner and wine with my cousins every Monday night; I go hiking or paddleboarding on Saturday mornings; I love making dinner with my finds from the Farmer's market; I read every night before I go to bed; I would rather work out before work than after; I love taking photos—of everything; my favorite days are the ones where I've done something active, have an afternoon beer, and then spend the evening relaxing. I prefer camping to fancy hotels; and my closest friends I have known since I was 5.
I think most people who know me would describe me as genuine, adventurous, and willing to try new things. I have lived in Northern California, New Zealand, and am now back down here (where I grew up) so I can be closer to my family...I feel really lucky to really love my job which has given me the ability to travel, work with kids across the country, and write.
I am looking for someone who is intelligent, motivated, outgoing, down to earth, who has a clear idea about what they want to get out of life, values education, travel, old friends, family, and the outdoors....and can have an awesome time just hanging out at home.

Date someone special from Seal Beach, United States. Oh, boy...My daughter wants me out of the house. She wants for me a man with tattoos who likes to skateboard and surf, and although this could possibly work for me, I would prefer that he is kind, can make me laugh often, be gainfully employed, a productive member of society, and who can be my best friend. I am definitely actively looking for a connection with that someone special. I wonder if he's here on Match...
Maybe I should point out that I have a big personality and am not for everyone. I am goofy, sarcastic, cuss like a sailor, have a couple of tattoos and love to laugh and have a good time. I really hope to meet someone who likes all of that about me.
I like to enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine at night with dinner and love to eat out. I love love love sushi and Mexican food...mmm chips and salsa.
I have my court reporters license and at the moment. I have thrown myself back into school full time in order to prepare for an upcoming national test. I'm excited for all the doors having a national certification can open.
Seriously considering a move to the Indiana/Ohio area next year to be closer to my family. So if you're in Ohio or Indiana and you've noticed my checking out your profile, now you know why. I'm window shopping ;)
Anyway, so I hope you know enough about me to make a semi-informed decision. Good luck on your search...
