Date women from United States / California / Sherman Oaks, 27 year old

Date a soulmate from Sherman Oaks, United States. Where to begin?! I was born and raised in the Seattle area. Just moved to CA for a fresh new start. I have the most handsome and loving little boy who lives with me full time. He is my heart and soul. I'm looking for someone who has a huge heart and sees my son as a blessing as opposed to a hindrance. I'm sure 98% of you will stop reading at this point due to the fact that I have a kid, and that's OK, because you're not the type of man I'm looking for. I'm looking for someone who is not quick to judge and can open their mind, and more importantly their heart to the both of us. :)
I would love to meet new people in the area. It's extremely important to me to form solid friendships before ever taking a relationship to the next level. I want to meet someone who is interesting and can carry an intellectual conversation without getting bored. I'm independent and financially self-sufficient. I don't "need a man" to survive, though I would enjoy the companionship. I'm not looking for someone to "take care" of me. I want a man that is capable of one day accepting my son as their own. Someone to share life with!
I am among many things: loving, honest, trustworthy, passionate, educated, funny, an animal lover.
I am a spiritual person and consider myself a Christian.
I love: reading, long drives, red wine, hiking, sushi, sleeping, stargazing, cooking, being artistic, photography, history, science/biology, theology, antiquing, interior decorating, politics, deep conversations, being goofy, exploring the city, cuddling up and watching movies.
You: are trustworthy, faithful, honest, aren't afraid to say what's on your mind, can agree to disagree, can show affection, are straight-forward, are a passionate person, are a go-getter, are independent and self-sufficient.
You love: children, animals, being outdoors, keeping busy, staying organized, deep conversation, silly banter/goofing off, keeping fit, road trips, good food, and movie nights.
You also can't be threatened by the fact that I have a huge box of tools and know how to work with them! I love assembling, building, fixing, and any other work that can be done with my hands. I love any and all projects!
Fitness and a healthy lifestyle are important to me. I workout 4-5 times a week and am totally addicted to Body Pump. If you haven't tried it, you are definitely missing out!
At the risk of committing age discrimination....please be no older than 35, sorry. Thanks :)
