Shayla - Date #9: Yoshi*

Name*: Yoshi

Date Description: Yoshi invited me over to play one of my favorite games, Mario Kart! He also introduced me to Mario Party, which was a lot of fun and I am amazed at how many games are included on that one little game. Once again, it was a very nice, relaxed date. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with the quality of conversation in some of these dates! Yoshi is a deep thinker and has thought a lot about those issues that most people try to blow off so they don't HAVE to think about them. I love seeing people use their minds instead of just agreeing with everything everyone else says. At times we would get to talking about something and I would forget I was supposed to be playing a game!

Best Quality: I'd have to say Yoshi knows how to have fun! It comes so naturally to him that he doesn't even have to try. And it's impossible to not have fun when he's having so much fun!

Highlight of Date: Watching Yoshi freak out when he was losing a game. Highly entertaining!

What I Admired: I admire Yoshi's ability to be fun AND intelligent. I admit a lot of people can do this, but it's usually either an awkward fun or an awkward intelligent. Yoshi is not awkward in any sense of the word and is definitely fun and intelligent. Impressive if you ask me.

How do you know the person you're on a date with? I met him at ward prayer last week! Even though he's not in our ward. He's good friends with Eric.

Describe the date in one word? Convivial

Thanks Yoshi--for not being afraid to be yourself!
