As a matter of fact, it is the one time that I am completely alone. I actually get annoyed if someone texts or calls me while I am reading.
I have friends who read and I discuss my new book finds with them. This is quite satisfying.
As such, although it would be nice if my partner shared my love of reading, it’s not a deal- breaker for me if he doesn’ t read.

How about someone who isn't interested in listening to stories concerning books?kimoy13 wrote: ↑11 Sep 2020, 22:01 I can date someone who doesn’t read because reading is very personal to me.

Thinking of it in this perspective changes my negative opinion totally.abfraw310 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2020, 14:27 I married a man who does not like to read. In fact, he loathes it. But, he has bought me several books throughout the years and he has read many of my blogs and short stories simply because they’re mine. I find that pretty charming and sweet. Besides, it’s too late to turn back time. We’ve been happily married for 13 years and together for 15 so loving someone who doesn’t love reading hasn’t been so bad.

you have nicely put your thoughts, I also have a similar situation and understand another viewpoint as wellpaigelambo10 wrote: ↑14 Sep 2020, 19:46 Yes. My significant other does not read. Reading is one of my things and he has his things. He actually still shows interest in the things I read and will ask me about them. My dad also loves to read, but my mom does not. I could see how someone would want to be with someone who also enjoys books, but it has never caused a problem in any of my relationships.

We book nerds sometimes tend too ignore and snob people who don't read not knowing that each individual is different with likes and dislikes, just find something that you both enjoy doing together as a hobby as the qualities and character of an individual is paramount than just books.
However reading is the best thing to ever exist so if i find a reader its a plus to the relationship.
