Date women from United States / California / San Diego, 38 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. To sum me up, I am funny, kind, helpful, outgoing, affectionate, and give great hugs. That's what my son says, who happens to be my greatest accomplishment. I am looking for someone who are all these things, plus honest, trustworthy, hardworking, & responsible. Loves kids and dogs, loves to travel, listens as much as he talks (hopefully enough to keep my interest and is easy to talk to), would want to be my best friend, but is secure enough in himself to not want to isolate me from my other BFFs and my family. Must know from the start that my son is my life and will ALWAYS come first! I am not athletic, but I do love to hike, swim, and dance. I am open to fun, but nothing dangerous, like bungee-jumping or flame-eating or jumping rope with snakes. I want someone who will walk beside me. Not in front or in back of me. Someone who will hold my hand or kiss me back no matter where we are or what we are doing. Not unreasonable, right?

Meet someone special from California, United States. I grew up here in San Diego and have lived in other states and countries, but I keep coming back here. I have not found a better place to live. I love the fact that I can go from the beach to the desert in a matter of hours. I love to do things on the spur of the moment. Even though I love to be outside, I also like to hang out at the house and have a movie marathon. I work for a private school and I hope after going back to school I can become the director. The best feeling is to teach a child and know that you are making a difference in his or her life.
The kind of person I am looking for someone that understands that I don't need someone to take care of me, I want someone that wants to be with me. Someone that understands that I do have a life outside of our relationship, and does not expect me to give up my friends and time away. The same goes for him.
I love to talk and see the person that I'm dating but I don't need a parole officer wanting to know my every move.
I believe relationships are a partnership and you need to respect the other persons space.
