But the issue of compatibility is very important in a relationship; communication is key, and someone who chooses not to read may as well choose not to engage in healthy communications.Nessa Marie wrote: ↑09 Jan 2007, 18:10 Hmmm Thats a good question. I think I could. I have,granted the conversation is limited ,there are still things to talk about. I won't count someone out because it's just not their thing.
Could you date someone who doesn't read?

Perhaps. But the idea of someone choosing to not read, even when they are lettered, points to something critical. A literate human should, normally, have something to read.lapowers wrote: ↑10 Jan 2007, 07:27 Reading for me is a hobby that I love to endulge. Not everyone has a passion for reading nor the patience. For me, I truly enjoy getting lost in the pages of a good book. You could also expand the question forward to apply to readers: Could I date someone who did not enjoy the same books as I do?
Hopefully a reader and non reader can exist in this world and perhaps the reader, being excited about a wonderful book can turn a non reader onto something new.

I still didn't give up on getting him to read though. I think it just needs the right book. He used to read books as a child.
