Date women from United States / California / Boulder Creek, 46 year old

Date a woman from United States. I am a fairly self-reliant and strong woman, used to doing it all myself and would really enjoy the company of someone else to collaborate with and share in a future partnership.
I'm not a typical girly girl, but I do like to dress up and have a night on the town, see a show, movie or do dinner and dancing.
I've done a lot of cool things in my life and am continuing to do more. I ride my Suzuki cruiser around the Santa Cruz Mts, ride horses, SCUBA dive, and Rock Climb. I'm an excellent world traveler, preferring the architectural, historical and cultural regions to the tourist zones. I can tile floors, create movie costumes, build deck steps, take a small tree down, (I own 2 chainsaws) and repair old fords -though I prefer to pay people to do it now ;) I'm learning to play the violin and considering what my next life move will be.
I need a man who can look me in the eye and not be intimidated by me, my stubborn nature or my intelligence. Although I am usually the emotional rock for my friends and family, I will need to be with someone who will be mine when the world flips upside down (don't worry - it's not often). I need to be with a man who can make me feel special. I want him to make me laugh and bring flowers and chocolate on a regular basis (books, plants, or fun creations will work too).
For this awesome person, I will be generous and kind, ever forgiving and ultimately patient. I will be loyal to a fault.
I will cook him dinners (when he doesn't), help him with his projects (as he will help me with mine), make him costumes, draw him pictures and provide endless hours of intelligent conversation and companionship. I will be his rock when he needs it and I will sometimes make him laugh. I will always make him smile.
