I doubt that I could date someone who doesn't read. I get emotionally attached to every single book, and every single character, that I read. Only avid readers understand this level of attachment, and I don't know that any other people can.Scott wrote: ↑09 Jan 2007, 15:00 Could you date someone who doesn't read? I don't mean someone who can't read, but someone who chooses to read almost nothing, and who almost never reads a book. Could you get into a romantic relationship with such a person?
I doubt that I could. I could never get emotionally close to a person who doesn't read books, mainly because we could never discuss a specific book, and the person would never be able to take any of my recommendations let alone make any recommendations of their own to me.
(This is nothing that's happening to me right now, just a random hypothetical that I've been pondering when I can't sleep at night and such. )
