Bibliogirl

This one’s a companion piece to my last post. Twice in the last little while I’ve mentioned what attracts me to a girl — cardigans and Macs being the posts of mention — and I figured I really ought to close off this mini trilogy with the criterion that matters most. (Well, after righteousness and all the other well-of-course stuff.)

Books. I am not interested in girls who are not passionate about books. Period.

There, I’ve said it. It’s been bubbling around in my thoughts for a while now. I used to think it might be negotiable, but it’s not — and I don’t think that makes me shallow. It’s just part of who I am. I could never marry a girl who doesn’t love books.

Why do I already know there’ll be a slew of comments on this post? :P

Same here - it’s not negotiable. It’s just a matter of being realistic.

When someone tells me they have someone they want to “hook me up” with, I ask them two questions (which are not be-all, end-all, but which give me a good idea of whether her values and mine match up reasonably well):

1. Does she watch R-rated movies?
2. Does she wear a modest bathing suit?

Perhaps I should add a third - regarding her level of bibliophilia…

Just commenting because you said you knew I would, I don’t know why either.

Picky picky. :)

Scott: Bibliophilia’s a must. Add it to your list. :)

Curtis: Dork. :P

sixline: I embrace pickiness! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Being picky is the only way I can safely remain in my sturdy fortress of singleness. ;)

Well, heck I’m a Mac-using librarian and I wore a cardigan when I took you on your first date…maybe we’re meant to be?

But then, I’m guessing “unmarried” is one of your criteria too. ;)

I’m sorry dude, I couldn’t help teasing.

Ali: LOL, yes, “unmarried” is definitely one of my criteria. :)

sixline: That’s what posts like this are for. It’s quite okay. :)
