Go out with someone who spends all his money on books and clothes, and has problems of space in the closet because you bought too many. Asks out a girl who has a list of books to read and from the twelve years has had a subscription card to a library.
Find a girl who reads. You'll know is an avid reader because in his case always take a book that has not yet begun to read. Is that always looks lovingly shelves of bookstores, the crying in silence when you find the book you wanted. See that girl a bit strange smelling the pages of an old book in a used bookstore? It is the reader. Never can resist smelling the pages of a book, and if they are yellow.
Is the girl sitting in the cafe down the street, she is reading while she waits. If you take a look at his mug, lactose-free cream texture has acquired a somewhat skinny and floats above the coffee because it is absorbed in reading, lost in the world that the author has created. Sit next to her. You might take a look of outrage that most readers hate to be interrupted. Ask her if you liked the book she has in her hands.
Invite her to another cup of coffee and say what you think of Murakami. Find out if it was able to finish the first chapter of Fellowship and you be aware that if she tells you to understand Joyce's Ulysses is doing it to seem smart.. Ask him if he loves Alicia or would like to be her.
It's easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books on her birthday, Christmas and on each anniversary. Give a gift of words, either in poetry or song. Give Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings and let him know you understand that words are love. Understand that she is aware of the difference between fact and fiction but nonetheless will look to his life resembles your favorite book. Not your fault if you do.
At least have to try.
Tell her a lie , if you understand the syntax also understand your need to lie. Behind the words there are other things: motivation, value, hue, dialogue, not the end of the world.
Disappoint her. The reader knows that failure leads to the climax and that everything has an end, but also understands that there is always the possibility of writing a sequel to the story and you can start over again and again and still remain a hero . It is also aware that during the life will have come across one or two villains.
Why be afraid of what you are not? The girls who read know that people mature, like characters in a story or a novel, except for the stars of the Twilight saga.
If you arrive to find a girl you read, keep it close, and when at two o'clock you find her crying and hugging the book to her chest, prepare some tea and consent to it. Is likely to miss for a couple of hours but always coming back to you. Discuss the book's protagonists as if they were real and that is, for a time, always.
Will you ask marriage during a balloon ride or in the middle of a rock concert, or perhaps the question will formulate absolute chance the next time you get sick, you may even be using Skype.
Will smile so hard that you wonder why your heart has not exploded yet causing blood roll down your chest. Write the story of you, have children with strange names and likes even rarer. She will read to your children The Cat in the Hat and Aslan, and can even do it the same day. Walk together the winters of old age and she will recite the poems of Keats in a whisper while you shake the snow off your boots.
Go out with a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a woman who could give you life more colorful than you can imagine. If you only have to give monotony, time-worn and half-baked proposals, you will better be alone. But if you want the world and worlds beyond, asks out a girl who reads.
Or better yet, one you write.
