Date women from United States / California / Pleasanton, 34 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Alright, here it goes....I have never been good at talking about myself, especially coming up with essentially a billboard or BUY ME advertisement but I promised my self that 2012 would be a year of taking chances, i decided to try Match (it's only taken 4 years). Who I am and who I think I am may be at odds in some regards but I can say what my close friends think of me - funny, smart, loyal, shy, a big kid, awkward, lacking self-confidence in some areas but not in others - it confuses them, that friend that you can call at 3 am to come get you from anywhere for whatever reason, difficult, complex, homebody, reserved but love it when i come out of my shell, trustworthly, and just a good person. What makes me smile - anyone or anything that is geniune, funny people, seeing and hanging out with people that i love. Right now, I am just interested in meeting new people ouside of my social circle. Right now, most if not all my friends are married, have families, or starting one. Although I am so happy for them, I still have moments of feeling as the odd man out. So, i would just like to meet new people, be introduced or see new or different things. I would just like to meet someone that I am comfortable with and is just easy going; a new friend if anything, someone who doesn't have to check in with someone else to hang out - that sounded terrible but i didnt mean it to come across that way, it's just that i have been single for so long and haven't had to check in with anyone that it's hard for me not to throw a tiny pity party for myself; don'get me wrong, I get it, relationships are about respect and consideration but still. Anyway, i just want to make more friends that are in my place right now, see the world (or at least outiside of the tri-valley area more often than not), and just have a good time with a good person, an honest person - whatever that honesty is, as long as its honest. So, that's it.
