So you want to date someone who loves to read? These are the 15 things you should know if you want to date an avid book reader.

1. Our idea of a perfect date is a trip to the library.

2. We need plenty of quiet time when we read, but that doesn’t mean you can’t snuggle up to us while we do it.

3. We’re not party people. Membership to a local or online book club is our idea of being social.

4. Forget saying we look good, instead compliment our bookshelf.

13. Because we read so much, we’re actually quite smart. Don’t be surprised if we start talking about something you’ve never heard about. Subject matter will vary, depending on what we’re currently reading. Please don’t be intimidated.

14. Studies have shown reading fiction improves empathy—a plus for you. It means we are kind human beings.
