Well, I think I couldn’t date someone who doesn’t read at all. I mean, how is this person going to “get” how engrossed I would be when I’m reading something I couldn’t put down? S/he would never understand the pull of a good book. And I would be left there trying my hardest to explain and this person would never be interested. If we liked each other enough (before I found out s/he doesn’t read at all), s/he would probably try being interested, though I doubt s/he would ever be if they haven’t experienced it at least once.
But I think I could date someone who is willing to try it out...to start exploring reading. You’ll never know, we might actually find a deeper connection there somewhere, given the chance

Also, he has to be patient and smart enough to relate to the stories and characters when I explain to him or talk out loud.

Still, I don't think I need a partner to enjoy reading. What's more important is that they're interested in the world around us, which to me is what reading is actually about. They don't need to have read the book to engage with me in a discussion about the ideas it brings up. As long as they're willing to do that with me, we're good.

I like to quote books to my friends whenever they seek help with their problems. And they also give me sound advice even if it’s not from books.
I think it’s all about the balance. No matter how few or many a person has read, it’s not going to be a full reflection of his personality.
