Shayla - Date #7: Toby Maguire*


Name*: Toby Maguire

Date Description: This date took place at one of my favorite breakfast places: Kneaders! It was Toby's first time partaking of the goodness that comes from that place. This date was a simple date, which I have decided I really like. We sat and chatted and just got to know each other. Toby and I have a lot of interests in common, which made conversation easy. Travel is always a hot topic for me and it is something he enjoys as well. He also shares the same perspectives on life as I do, which is always nice.

Best Quality: Toby seems to be a very hard worker, BUT he knows how to play too! I think that's a great quality to have. There are a lot of people work too hard and never play and also a lot of people who play too hard and never work. I feel like Toby has figured out that balance.

Highlight of Date: The conversation. No awkward pauses or anything--amazing!

What I Admired: I admired Toby's style of thinking. He has put a lot of thought into what he wants to do with different aspects of his life so that when the time is right he can just jump on the things he's already thought about. I think too often opportunity knocks on someone's door and they miss it 'cause they haven't thought that far ahead. I don't feel Toby would miss such an opportunity.

How do you know the person you're on a date with? Blind date set up by the lovely one who explains it all!

Describe the date in one word? Delightful
Thanks Toby! It was certainly a pleasant date!
