Could you date someone who doesn't read?

I married someone who doesn't read. It's going well as I don't have to worry about sharing books with him or if they'll be ruined or lost. It can be annoying as he tends to talk to me when I'm deep in a novel. Maybe I should put up a sign. Oh, wait...

[AlicinWelsh]

I could. I read for pleasure and I wouldn't expect my partner to do everything I do or like everything I like. He should have his own hobbies. Now, if he interferes with my ability to read, then its over.

I married someone who doesn't read for pleasure because of a disability, but he lets me read for hours on end when I'm into a good book. And occasionally, he likes to listen to books on tape. That's all that matters to me.

I think l could not date someone who doesn't read, l think that reading has became a part of my life, so dating someone who does not read will be hard

[Eryn Bradshaw]

When I was younger, I had an ideal person who I'd get married to, and that ideal person loved reading. I think that as I got older, I realized the differences in the people I dated are what made them interesting as a person. I'm now married to a man who doesn't really read. He occasionally wants to pick up a book here and there, but it's a rare enough thing that it's not something that's part of his persona. But it's not a deal breaker, it's not something I totally mind. He'll listen to my ramblings about the books that I read, though! Communication is always key!

My Partner has only read one book: Mice and Men, and he raves about it and the fact I haven't read it.
I never have to worry about my books going missing, and no one to judge me for dog-earing the pages

[Misael Carlos]

Not a problem. I have enough reading for the both of us. Haha. Seriously, as long as the person does not nag me about my reading, I am happy already.

[Amanda Nixon]

I think I could! Although I'd much refer it if they did so that we could discuss books and recommend them to each other

[morenikeji100]

No I can't, why because reading encompasses many Field, it can be reading about religious book,social book, educational books, Novel etc. Believe me or not, if your are in a relationship with a person who doesn't like reading, the relationship can't last, there will always be clash, why? Because, your level of thinking is higher than his, You can never understand each other. So I can't marry a person that doesn't like reading.

I also don't think I can date someone who doesn't read. I can date someone who doesn't read the same type of books but someone who doesn't read at all feels too different from me.

[Makena Mugendi]

I could if he watched movies. I respect differences, I may not like them and it may not be ideal but I would.
It all depends on if I feel the compromise is worth it.

[Stahnni]

Of course. Not everyone has the capacity to read or the patience to get through a book. That does not make them any less human. Surely, there are still a great many interests other than reading.

[Aishat Rabiu]

I guess it would be fun to date someone who reads as much as I do or more, but I think it'll be more interesting to date someone who would open me to something entirely different from my daily routine and at the same time doesn't hinder me from reading. As long as he is reasonable and a critical thinker, he'd catch up with any conversation on books that I raise if I provide him with a little detail. He doesnt have to do everything I do for us to live an awesome life.

[Jesscar6]

I am dating someone who doesn't read books.
As long as he doesn't stop me reading, it's all good. Bit like how he plays his video games which I don't do. I don't stop him same as he won't stop me reading.

[Asen Stoyanchev]

The point of a healthy relationship is to respect and love the other person's differences. There are no two alike human beings.
