Could you date someone who doesn't read?

[Bhaskar Rogha]

I have thought about and answered this question earlier but thinking again about it has provided me an insight. I found my relationship with the people I dated to be very shallow after a few weeks passed between us. If they wouldn't have broken up. I would have. Maybe if they would have read books and had some depth, my relationship with them would have been enriching and could have lasted longer. I don't want to blame them. I am just considering a possibility.

[Manik Chaturmutha]

Haha, not sure. Though it would definitely be a no. If not fiction, I would like my partner to read something, maybe journals, blog articles, or newspapers. He needs to be definitely informed.

I believe humans are unique. You mustn't share all my ideals before I could fancy you. So yes, I can perfectly date someone who doesn't read

[Ochieng Stephen Owino]

In my opinion, I can date that kind of person as it gives me a blank space to share my ideas with them. In a way, they may not read books but they do have experience from other sources. That to me, is an interesting exchange.

There are many different kinds of intelligencies and though I am an avid reader, to completely write off someone simply because they choose not to read seems awfully judgemental and short-sighted. Not everything can be encapsulated within the pages of a book.

[Thorrence]

I think I can simply because everyone has their differences, hobbies, and things they do for fun. But I would appreciate it if he would understand and support me just the same way I would support his hobbies and dreams.

[Doris Nwoti]

I would definitely date a good guy who doesn't read like me.

[Atova]

I could never date someone who doesn't read. I didn't speak to a friend of mine for over a month because of a similar topic. Although I was quite busy.

[Pwetty Ella]

Yes I could , As long as he allows me to read, it would be difficult tho buh I think I can

[Ruth Frances A]

Maybe. It all depends really on what is at stake. A relationship is based on mutual understanding. That means, accept me, as I am as I too will be your best friend. You may not always get what you want so we must be flexible when need arises. And if I love a person, I accept him as he is. Work on some modalities and adjust accordingly. For the record, it appears a great many people don’t read much, rather watch TV. I do both. Does that make me a bad date prospect

[Christopherio]

I think that depends on their source of knowledge, some people don't read but listen and watch podcasts and shows for their own source of knowledge, I feel I don't really mind as long as we can hold meaningful conversations.

[Okoye Chinonso+]

Well, for one, it all depends on what your context of read here is. Do you mean reading novels or reading in general?

[Okoye Chinonso+]

If she doesn't find interest in reading novels then that won't be an issue. Not everything is for everyone. But if she can't read at all, then No. The goal is a wife that would educate my children.

[Karen Gurtiza]

It's okay, i'll share him my books and maybe we could read together...

[Svogel11766]

I honestly, personally couldn’t. My husband thankfully is a reader.
