Re: Could you date someone who doesn't read?
I take in much of the world around me in reading and I love to discuss that with others in word and in writing. All of my family are readers and thus I grew up in a family where I could relate to and communicate easily with them. My friend can't process reading over long periods of time and I spend time explaining what things means -- which is no reflection on their intelligence. But because reading and writing is how I comfortably communicate, it does change the kind of close friendship we have.
This is a disconnect that I can be ok with in friendship -- but as for a romantic relationship --it simply won't do. I require a person who has a love for reading. They needn't be an avid reader, but I couldn't survive with a person who doesn't read.
