Could you date someone who doesn't read?

[Joseph_ngaruiya]

I wouldn't date someone who doesn't read. Books open up your mind. A reading couple is an informed one.

[AlphasFemale]

I married someone who doesn't read. My husband has no appreciation for books what so ever except for the fact that they make me happy. He has even stated that he doesn't understand how or why a book can bring me so much enjoyment for hours on end, but since it dose he will keep getting them for me. He might not enjoy reading himself but he has taken enough interest to know my favorite genres and authors. He even buys me the newest books my all time favorite author releases and any other book he sees me stop to look at multiple times. Most recently he got me a brand new tablet so that I can take multiple books with me easier when we take a trip and so that I have a more comfortable screen to read my eBooks off of instead of my phone. We might not be able to talk about books with each other but he is a movie watcher and I am not so frequently while he watches a movie in the evenings I am cuddled up beside him with a book. We still get time together that way but both of us are doing something that we enjoy.

Well, reading is quite wonderful pass time for me but the person I admire prefers playing computer games or something else. The thing we bond over are anime and movie.

Reading means that you enjoy a story and the characters within it. And a good story with characters are not necessarily inside of a book all the time. There are various mediums.

So yes, I can date someone who doesn't read as long as they can appreciate a good story.

I don't think I could date someone who doesn't read. Reading is a big part of my life and I think it's a great way to expand your understanding. It can be a part of personal growth and if I can't share that with the person I'm dating, I don't think the relationship will last.

I would just so that I can inspire them to read! I believe one of the reasons people do not read is because they do not know where to start and as a teacher, I have seen this issue with some of my students. After doing a lot a fun reading activities and encouragement, many of those reluctant students turn to reading.

That's such a beautiful way of looking at things! I started reading because of a teacher in my school. It also helps to know someone has your best interest at heart. Keep up the great work!

Thank you. I am happy to hear you started reading because of your teacher. This gives me chills! I believe being interested in reading is an achievement in itself so you keep up the great work too!

[Misty20058]

I would go either way. I would be great to have a partner to discuss books with but beware of spoilers! If they did not read I would somehow manage to get them reading as I'm sure they will soon love it!

[Turk Joel]

All the women i have looked at have always had books in their faces. I can't think of anything greater to see in a woman than a book fo a mind. I wouldn't date a person who doesn't read

[Alexandra1234]

I have no problem whatsoever. My boyfriend reads very little and that doesn't bother me. He makes music, so he's more into sounds than words, although words do play an important role. We've been together for 8 years and we still find many different things to discuss and debate. I have you guys and some friends to talk about the books I read.

[char8026]

I married a man that doesn't have my love of books. It isn't an issue with us. He lets me read whenever I want to, for how long I want to, and never questions the number of books that I buy. He has his own interests and we have our combined interests. It works well for us.

[purvasha__]

Yeah, of course. They can begin reading, can't they? And if he's a good person in all, then there isn't any issue as I already have a lot of friends who don't read

[Yuffielyn]

Yes, I could. It wouldn't be that hard, though I read a lot I wouldn't mind if I dated someone who didn't.

It is right because you can talk other things like place to go, what music both of you love, or other things that but of you will like and pleased.

[dhaval_d84]

Well, I married the one who does. I think that explains everything.
In fact, we first starting talking because of the idea of exchanging books to read.

[Carlynn27]

I honestly could date someone that is not really that into reading because I Know that sometimes life gets busy and we just don't have enough time to get to read a good book. Or like me In the past I would always get all these good books at the library then never read any of them it made me sad that after 2 renewals I still hadn't had the time.

[lkemeny1]

I could totally date someone who doesn't read, but they would have to understand how much I read. I need my alone time with my book. It helps me relax, but I want to be left alone!

[alavirafi]

I think I'll be able to cope with a "non-reader" but under one condition, that is she has to tolerate my spare time book reading. If she ever raises any question like " Why are YOU always reading".... I think I'll kill her. XD
