I've actually never dated, but even in my non-romantic relationships, all I need is acceptance. I have several friends who hate reading, but accept the fact that I'm a booknerd. Sure, they tease me about it a LOT, but it's just in fun, and they don't look down on me or dislike me just because I read so much. I also have plenty of friends who are fellow booknerds, and I have an AMAZING time discussing books and fangirling and generally acting like lunatics whenever our subject of conversation is books!<br />I think that's it's pretty awesome to have a relationship with someone who really understands you when it comes to what you adore, but when you have mixed interests, it also keeps that relationship interesting. I'd totally date someone who was a non-reader if they treated my passions with respect!<br />Also, on a side note. I recently bought Steelheart (today, in fact!), and now that you have assured me of its awesomeness, it's definitely next up on my TBR :D<br /><br />Ranuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028668912325428894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-26221767892282562562015-08-28T10:19:29.684-04:002015-08-28T10:19:29.684-04:00Really interesting post!

Quite recently we both tried reading the same book and we had a brief discussion about it but nothing more than that. It's great when we go on holiday though because we can both read in peace and neither one of us bothers the other :) I love how you mentioned that non-readers are probably cleaning your room or getting you something to drink as you read xD I wish!!! <br /><br />Laura @ <a href="http://whats--hot.net" rel="nofollow">What's Hot?</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834601423017561368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-35233129889140309892015-08-28T10:05:32.100-04:002015-08-28T10:05:32.100-04:00I'm definitely attracted to people who have si...I'm definitely attracted to people who have similar interests.

I have been with my boyfriend since we were 15, so it will be 9 years together this year, and in that time he has read 0 books. He is not a reader at all. But he gets that I am and is so supportive. He buys me books. He lets me rant and rave about books to him and get all my bookish frustrations out. He brings me snacks when I'm reading. Is supportive of all the time I spend blogging/reading. He's the best!!! Although I bet it's just as lovely to date someone who can talk to you about books and read them with you.

That would be fabulous and exciting. We could talk about books and we'll never ran out of books to talk about because BOOKS. ARE. FOREVER. Lol.<br /><br />I agree with you with the gifts are easy thing. You could give me a pocketbook and I'll be already dancing in the air happy. It rarely happens to me that's why moments like that feel so so so important :D<br /><br />Dating a nonbooklover is also fab fab fab. He's the shoulder you could cry on when people in the books die, or you could just squish him and totally be cuddly when the book is too cute and fluffy and swoon-y :p or you can be extremely imaginative with him and ask about his opinion about castles, kingdoms, dragons HAHAHA and all of those he wouldn't mind because though he doesn't like reading much, he understands how you feel and he lets you do what you love.

He was cute, wore nerdy glasses, and these cool tshirts with quotes, and we could actually debate about our views on books! We dated for two years, and it was so cool, but it also had a lot of drawbacks.<br />First of all, we were interested in different genres. I am not a sci fi fan - at all - but he adored that genre! Star Wars, Maze Runner - those were his favs. He was a fan of high fantasy, had an obsession with Game of Thrones, Brandon Sanderson, while I was more of a contemporary and urban fantasy fan. Our favourite genres clashed a lot, and I actually had to defend my favourite genres when we get into debates.<br />Then there's also the fact that sometimes everything we talk about is books. I mean, it's nice, but that's not what a relationship is about, you get what I mean?Mishma @ Chasing Faerytaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253047767404480728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-84245970545642658142015-08-26T10:12:22.727-04:002015-08-26T10:12:22.727-04:00AHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I totall...AHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I totally agree with the fact that we're easy to buy gifts for. Literally any time someone asks me what I want (as a gift), I'm just like "here's my five million page list of books I want, choose one and that would make me the happiest person ever" or they can just give me a Barnes and Noble gift card or something. It's not too hard. Even if they give me a book I've never heard of, I usually appreciate the sentiment. They have acknowledged that I love books, and that's what counts :)<br /><br />Of course I'd love to date a booklover. (Side note: in case you were wondering, for some reason booklover keeps autocorrecting to baklava and I'm not sure why. Does anyone else have this problem????) They'd have so many great book recommendations I like having someone who's a good listener and someone who just understands the book obsession. Even if they tolerate it, I feel like non-booklovers would start to get annoyed with me :PA.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14885962357135553672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-33529731607679560502015-08-26T04:21:22.463-04:002015-08-26T04:21:22.463-04:00I LOVE THIS POST ALEX HAHA.

So whenever he chats with me online, he always has to fix his grammar just I won't get irritated by him :P I think dating a non-booklover can be a little tough because -- 1) no one to relate to, 2) sometimes us bookworms can get pretty annoying with our love for books. But I'd still date a non-booklover IF ONLY he can tolerate my obsession :)<br /><br />I love the stuff you listed down! Especially the fact that it's easy for non-booklovers to buy us gifts because anyone can take a quick scan at my TBR and easily guess which of the books I'd love to have. Great post!<br /><br />Jillian @ <a href="http://jilliansbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> Jillian's Books </a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
