Date men and women from United States / California / Monrovia, 25 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. So about me...this is always tough. I'm pretty ambitious, sometimes a little too much. My ideal Saturday for the fall is spent with coffee and baseball in the morning, hiking in the afternoon, and beer and BBQ in the evening with friends.
I'm Italian, so naturally I like to cook. The family pasta recipe is amazing so you might wanna try it sometime!
I recently graduated from CSUF and really tried to make the most of it. I'm just starting out with my career so it's a little crazy right now, but a good kind of crazy.
I have spontaneous ideas sometimes, they usually turn out to be a good time.
Basically, I try to live life as much as I can, we're not here forever so it's time to do something about it :)

Meet men and women from California, United States. I am the kind of guy who loves to enjoy a laugh, a smile and somebody who is willing to have a good time. I am looking for someone who is soft spoken, caring and can laugh and have fun:) Looking for someone who I can talk to about anything and who is passionate about human rights as I am. I'm looking for a woman I can trust and who can make me a better person. I'm looking for a woman who will share my Christian faith and family values, and who has an optimistic outlook on life - if you take life too seriously than it will drive you crazy.
My name is Nicola, but everyone calls me Nick. I am a very passionate person about my education and work. I attained my bachelors degree and looking forward to pursuing my masters. I have a couple of role models who I look up to that are alive and dead such as: Humanities teacher named Mr. Zaharek (greatest man I have ever met - I'll tell you more about him when we meet :) Abraham Lincoln (stood firm in his beliefs when chaos was all around him).
I enjoy eating . . . at sushi bars and I can eat with chopsticks...you must be able to pick a grain of rice with a chopstick in order for me to date you...just kidding:) I like eating crab because it is a challenge to get the meat out of the shell. My final favorite thing in the world is adding Dash to white rice:)
I enjoy all different types of music. If I hear a song that compel's me than I will most likely memorize the song within the first time of hearing it and will probably sing it back to you:) My favorite song is called "Hey, Hey Helen" by Abba.
I have a yellow belt in the martial arts field called Hap Ki Do....I still have to get the black belt once i have time. I can also break a stack of wood with one finger...just kidding again;)
I like sports. My favorite football team use to be the Colts. My favorite basketball teams are the Lakers, Celtics and the Bulls ...I have to like all those teams so i don't offend people. My favorite baseball team is now the Angels because Albert Pujols is going to be on the team. My favorite hockey team is the Rangers.....actually I hate hockey so please don't contact me if your a woman that loves hockey...just kidding again. I also enjoy playing basketball and freaking people out when i do the "Hurricane" move.
I appreciate the arts. My favorite painting is called "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. If we go to a museum...we will not need to pay for a tour guide because i can explain every ancient time period:) I like going to the movies. My favorite movie is Moulin Rouge....and yes I am a guy who loves that movie . . . My favorite opera is La Boheme. I like Les Miserable the play and I look forward to the movie coming out in December . . . I hope you can join me:)
Some more of my other favorite things are: Iced Tea but I love water. My dream car is an R 8 Audi ...big German car enthusiast. Oh yea, and my favorite Apple application is Flipboard. Finally, I have a couple of fun quirks as well: when it starts to rain, I enjoy putting on a jacket and running in the rain. For those couple of minutes, it feels as if me and nature are "one". I know it is corny but that is me!
