Date men from United States / California / Santee, 40 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I love the outdoors and go camping at the beach at least once every summer, but I also like to go to plays, musicals, and operas. I enjoy photography and San Diego has many places for me to perfect my hobby. I am member of the San Diego Zoo and visit it and the Wild Animal Park frequently. I also like to ride my bike around Coronado or Mission Bay.
I have been told I am witty and funny. I love making people laugh. Sometimes I can be loud, which is a problem since I work in a library. I am known to be a little sarcastic at times. I am looking for someone who does not mind getting dirty, but also enjoys going to dinner and then seeing a play or musical. I want to meet someone who enjoys my sense of humor, but can make me laugh also. I do enjoy watching comedies, Modern Family, Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock, on TV (or online) and also like a few dramas, Fringe (Yeah 13 more episodes), Person of Interest, and Once Upon a Time.
I enjoy cooking and baking. I am half-Italian and mostly cook Italian cuisine. Must love garlic. Ever heard of Cardoons? I am someone who still reads the newspaper everyday (not just the sports and comics). I like to be informed about current events, so I often watch the evening news along with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
I am a native Californian and have been in San Diego nearly 20 years, but after 7 years of living in Temecula and commuting to San Diego for work, I recently moved back. The majority of my friends are married and most now have children, so it is difficult to be spontaneous with them. I am looking for someone fun to enjoy what San Diego has to offer with me. A partner in crime, if you will. I enjoy brunch on the weekend and then continuing the good conversation while walking or riding around Mission Bay.
I love to travel and want a partner with whom to explore new places. I recently went to Italy and I am beginning to plan a return trip. I enjoy planning long trips and then experiencing the rush of excitement as the departure date gets closer, but I also like to decide on a Wednesday or Thursday that we should leave Friday after work and spend the weekend in Santa Barbara.

Friends and family keep telling me to get back out in the dating world. They keep telling me I am this “great catch” and “Miss Right” is out there. Well I am here to find out if she is on match.com. Are you here?
