I'm from the Midwest, I grew up there and moved out to California several years ago. I'd like to think that means I've got some down-to-earth / common sense reasonableness that can be hard to come by around here. That said, I've come to enjoy California and all it has to offer, especially the beautiful beaches and outdoors. As far as what I'm looking for, the most important thing is someone with a similar set of morals and ideals to my own - saying what you mean, being straightforward, and holding to your commitments.
