Words to describe me: Witty, introverted, independent, approachable, well-balanced.

Upfront...I am looking for a long-term relationship. I am not interested in sport-dating or playing games. If you seek a one-night stand or want to date multiple women on a casual, ongoing basis, I am not your girl, or rather; you are not the guy for me.

I do what I say and expect the person I am dating to do the same. If I am not interested in persuing something with someone, I am decent enough to say so. I would hope that anyone who I went out with would feel the same. It definitely takes more courage to tell someone you're not feeling it than to never call again, but people appreciate it. I know I do!

Social but not particularly extroverted (in fact, I'm VERY introverted), I love to laugh, love to make people laugh and have an obscure and sometimes off-the-wall sense of humor. Warning: If you can dish out, don’t worry, I can take it, just be prepared to have it served back at ya! Having a close-knit group of friends BBQ’s, low-key get gatherings, and social outings are usually in the cards. I love going out to dinner, comedy clubs, dancing, and pubs. I can also be a homebody and cherish nights in just as much as the special times when I get to go out.

I’ve lived in Texas, Indiana, New Zealand as an exchange student, but California is most definitely my home. My passport is always current and I love traveling to other countries or getting away for the weekend to the beach, mountains, Vegas, the lake, Southern CA, or anyplace interesting.

I enjoy getting outside and enjoying the sun. I’m a voracious reader and am mildly embarrassed to admit that I am TOTALLY addicted to the Twilight series books and movie! Only wish I had more time to ride my horse. I am also an avid hockey and baseball fan. I also like going to football games, amusement parks, playing softball and volleyball.

I’m seeking a long-term relationship with someone who is physically active, fit, balanced (professionally and personally), and loves to have fun. I’ve been told I have a strong personality but I’m not overbearing in any sense of the word. I need someone who will keep me on my toes (as I do them!). I will always let (and want) the man to be the man! Someone who will make me feel desired, loved, someone who doesn’t want to live without me as much as I don’t want to live without him. We spoil each other in all the right ways.

I have been told I come across as very self-assured and independent, but that doesn't mean I don't need the right man in my life!

It’s non-negotiable, you must love children. If you have one or two kids yourself, that's fine! My son is with me a significant amount of time but it does not stop me from being able to actively date…my friends and family, for some reason, are always trying to steal him away from me for hours or days at a time. Guess the kid must be a cutie.

My ideal date would either be a day at an amusement park or a sporting event such as hockey or a baseball game. A nice meal before or after is optional :)
