Date women from United States / California / Vallejo, 26 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. I'm a little shy at first but once you get to know me you see I'm a kind, honest, down to earth woman with a great sense of humor. I have a steady job that can sometimes consume my time, but I believe when you find "the one" there is nothing you wouldnt do to find time to spend time with them. I'm a bit of an old soul when it comes to romance and cute, simple, sincere gestures can go a long way. This year I've got my head on straight when it comes to being fit and taking care of my health. I've been a vegetarian since March 1st and don't see that ever changing so I hope to find a guy who is respective of that. Also, since the start of the year I've completed two 5Ks and lost over 70lbs and plan to keep life moving in that direction. I have a cat but love all animals so I hope you like animals too. I also enjoy photography, traveling, and cooking.
I'm looking for a LTR with a man who knows who he is and what he wants from life. Family should be important to him as it is to me. Please have a sense of humor and just be yourself...sometimes it's cute to be quirky and nerdy.
