Could you date someone who doesn't read?

[Emi_Review]

I'm in the exact same situation! Sometimes, when he is interested in a book, I can tell him all about it. And, when I'm curious about a game, he can tell me all about it!

Exactly! I love our conversations

I love both your relationships.

Thank you!

I have, but it did not end well.

He wouldn't even read books I've written.

[Mindy Conahye]

I believe I could date someone who isn't i to reading as long as they respect the fact I love to read and know I need time to sit down with a good book. I do think it would be nice to date someone who did like to read though as we could read and discuss books together.

Yes, I could date someone who doesn't read. There are people who love to read and others who don't but that does not necessarily mean that people who are not readers are any less intelligent or interesting. The world is too diverse a place to put limits.

[Endowa++]

Maybe but Someone that does not read will not be exposed and will not know much about the world. He would be alien to other cultures and traditions and would probably be cheated by others who read

[Ijeoma Kikelomo]

That would be a maybe. Some people don't read but they are still very deep.

I seriously fall in love with this topic, I once fell into categories of people who don't really read other books rather than my course bronchure in the university, I felt that is all I need to live on but I got it totally wrong. Now I understand many things about reading literatures generally, how it helps in building your communication skills and there's this tremendous turnaround, I love books now and I will encourage anyone I love to read books even if it's out of their passion, I'm ready to encourage them. READING IS LIFE.

I couldn’t date someone who doesn’t read. As an avid reader, and writer, I don’t think I would have a lot in common with them. A relationship with something so vital to one person would be very difficult to maintain. At least with me it would.

[MuthoniMuriithi]

Yes! As long as they won't interfere with my reading habits.

[lumies]

I practically can date such person knowing that she has to ready because... I can't but relate with her via writing. Of course, talking about some instance of information and experiences gathered through reading that I will mention as reference. Reading with come handy to her eventually.
I'm positive about this.

[Kiisme]

Yes but they would have to play video games or love movies

I personally do not think I could date someone who dose not read a lot, or at all. If they can not read, I would help them learn. But if they choose not to read, I would have some issues. I feel it helps the imagination and thought process. I want someone who thinks in the box, and outside the box. I would want to help them find the genre of books that they would read. Maybe they just have not found that one book that sends them to another world. So if they for certain did not want to read, I do not think it would work out.

[Hildehraefen]

No. Literature and loving to read it is just too big a part of who I am. I could date someone who wasn't as voracious of a reader as I am, but if they weren't into reading at all then I don't believe they would be able to understand who I am.

I'm not saying he doesn't know how to read, that's a given he should be able to, but he doesn't have to have the passion we feel for books there should be other things we have in common like music.

No way, what would we talk about? I like reading a book and sharing it with people dear to me. A large part of my life would be left out of we could not discuss books.
