Date men from United States / California / Westchester, 36 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. Myself: easy going, athletic, down-to-earth, don't take life to seriously, who loves dogs, is a hopeless romantic, whom just wants to have fun and enjoy life type of guy. Now all I have to do is find a girl with whom to have fun and enjoy life with. Its hard finding the right girl in this town (I know she's out there somewhere). I'm just so busy with work I don't have the time to date regularly, so I thought I would give the online dating thing a shot. Plus, there comes a point in ones life when you have to start thinking about spending and sharing your time w/ only one person.
My ideal girl: has to be honest, romantic, intelligent, FUNNY ( laughing's a requirement ladies, cause I love to laugh and I love to make my girl laugh), sexy, caring, adventurous, respectful, family oriented w/ a strong sense of values, and independence. A girl who carries herself w/ respect and dignity. Someone who can enjoy herself and find the fun in whatever it might be, in other words, a down-to-earth girl who doesn't take herself and life to serious. The biggest factor for me in a relationship is Communication when you have that as your foundation everything else falls into place. ( call me old fashion ). I don't like drama- believe me I've had my share in my brief 35yrs. I'm not the type of guy who's quick to rush into anything. Taking things slow becoming friends first and making new friends is alright with me.
I don't make myself out to be something I'm not. I try to live a positive/healthy life and try my best to help others in need. I'm the type of guy who can adapt to whatever the scene might be. I love to travel when the opportunity presents itself. I use to travel a lot for my previous job spending time in awesome cities and meeting some cool people from the East Coast to the West Coast (I enjoy making new friends). However, with the constant traveling its really hard to maintain a steady relationship when your always out of town.
Lastly you must love dogs I have a big heart for dogs. Also, I unfortunately can't IM from an iPAD sorry ladies (Thanks Apple ) :(
