Date women from United States / California / Pleasant Hill, 46 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I asked my friend to write this, that way you could get a true and real depiction of who I am... I am a warm, kind person. I put others before myself. I need and deserve to be with someone whose qualities consist of being honest, giving, loving, fun, exciting, strong and a good companion or friend (I already have a dog and don't need another:)).
I have spent the major portion of my life being there for others and raising my kids. I am resolved with being a little selfish. I enjoy being with someone who enjoys and appreciates me and my company.
I like some space, but am looking for someone to go do things with, essentially a best friend. Some one who is up for doing something spontaneous, but on a cold winters day, cuddling on the couch in front of the fire.
I deserve to be with someone who wants to teach me things I have never done before and willing to enjoy watching the smile on my face when I am having a good time, but pays attention enough to know that this is simply not my cup of tea!
I am not looking for someone who wishes for me to dote on them, but wishes to cherish me.
