Re: Could you date someone who doesn't read?
My wife has never been a reader and I do not think it has effected our relationship at all. We have other things we can relate to about and enjoy doing together. One cool thing that has happened recently though is my wife started reading! I would always tell her about the books I was reading and one finally sparked her interest! She has read a lot of books over the past few months and it has been so cool to witness someone become a "reader."

For me, someone that doesn't have a reading culture established into their daily routine is like a dry well that has almost nothing to offer to me. And I wouldn't want anything to do with such a person.

He loves bragging to others about how much I read, buys me books, and even built me a free library for our yard. He also humors me by pretending to listen to me talk about books I'm reading and asks for summaries. I like talking to him about what I read because he'll never get mad at me for spoiling something!
I figure it's good for us to enjoy different things and then share in the other's enjoyment. It works just fine for us!

I share the same sentiments. As long as they don't interfere with my reading habits.

He gets that I love books and can loose my self in one for hours at a time. So yes I could date a non reader.

- Latest Review: Not Fishy Enough by Briton Kolber
Reading is so important to me. It is literally an exercise for the mind. I love having deep conversations with my partner, and that would not be possible if he did not read extensively. I'm just imagining the limited conversation topics due to the lack of intellect. It's a hard pass for me.

Let’s just say I learnt my lesson, readers have very desirable qualities which people Who don’t like reading lack.
Intelligence is sexy.
