Date men and women from United States / California / Rancho San Diego, 55 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. So I don't know. I've tried writing this profile thing a lot of different ways in the past. They all sound canned and boring. Let's try this one.
Just saw this in an email from San Diego Magazine and thought it was great! :
"How about we...get snow cones and walk around snapping photos...go to the farmers' market and take what we get for a a picnic in the park...be tourists in our own city...sit on a park bench and make up conversations for the people we see...grab a drink and watch a beautiful sunset at a rooftop bar." Those sound great to me! How about you?
I was looking at Match's suggestions and spotted this: What would you do if you won the lottery?
Well, I'd buy or build a spectacular home on top of a hill where I had a 360 degree view of the city. To the west, I'd be able to see the sparkling, blue ocean. To the north, I could see all of the city's lights twinkling at night. To the south, I could see into Mexico, and to the east, I could see our beautiful mountains. Out front on the mailbox, it would say, "Home of Dennis and ____". Guess I better find someone to fill in that blank!
I've been away from Match for a couple of years and came back last winter. I met someone pretty quickly but in the end, it didn't work out. I'm a believer in this online dating thing though. And one day I will find that special person.
In the past, I've met some fun and interesting people here; no doubt about it. And unfortunately, I've met a few that down the road?
That said, I am back to see if I can meet my match. If you're more than 30 miles away, it's going to be a stretch. I want to be able to come see you after work, or meet up some place in town, or cook you dinner at my place (or yowere less than honest. Maybe even hiding something. Fun, interesting, truthful = Good. Dishonest = not so good. If we aren't starting out the gate open and honest, what hope is there ur place). Sometimes this will be quite spontaneous! We can't really do that if you live in a far away land. Sorry about that...some of you in that far, far away place are awfully interesting, but you're out of reach....
I'm ready to meet a sharp and level headed woman that is tired of the dating scene and all of that running around stuff. We'll enjoy each other's wit and appreciate each other's knowlege of things we haven't thought about before. You and I aren't going to dive in and rush into anything right away, but I'm pretty sure that when we look into each other's eyes, we'll "know". And so...we might just decide that we *want* to dive in! Who knows?
One thing is for sure. I strongly feel that coming home and having a special someone there to greet me, or knowing she will be home shortly for me to greet and be with all night is the end all. It's totally special.
I hope that you will have several pictures of yourself on your profile, not just one or two old ones along with a plethora of others showing your dog, your cat, your sunset, that landmark you visited on your last vacation, etc. You can show me those later. For now, show *yourself* off on your profile, okay?
Let's go re-explore San Diego and surroundings and learn all about each other! Let's go find some new things to do, too. Let's go make this our world, and everyone else is just in it.
