Date women from United States / California / West Sacramento, 32 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I spent long time telling myself that I should wait until I accomplished certain goals before reaching out. Then I realized that the only thing accomplished by waiting is missed opportunity and squandered time.
After a meandering stroll through life, I've decided to return to school and work on my career. I'm working on improving my physical health. I'm reaching for dreams I once told myself were impossible.
One of those dreams is to find someone intelligent, thoughtful, considerate, and supportive with whom I can spend time. I'm not very talkative and you don't need to be either, but I'm a great listener who will carefully consider everything you need to say. In public I'll be respectful but in private I'll be affectionate, and I hope to meet someone who feels comfortable with that division. I'm a bit of a homebody but as I explore my local area, learn to swim and play tennis, I'm finding more reasons to be out.
For me, an ideal partner is someone who has something to teach me, who stimulates my intellect as well as my passion, but who is humble enough to know he doesn't know everything and can learn from me, too. Someone who is strong, mentally and emotionally, but not so strong that he won't let me support and comfort him. Someone possessed of decent manners and etiquette, old-fashioned ideals about chivalry, an operative moral compass, and the courage be a protective fortress and a pillar of support for the woman he loves.
