Missed dates, postseries sob sessions, and long philosophical talks about fictional characters. If any of these things sound familiar to you, then you might be dating a bookworm — or maybe you're just addicted to reading yourself. Bookworms are unique individuals who are often oblivious to the surrounding real world (and sometimes their own relationships) because their minds are far off in a fictional world only found in their favorite stories. When they do manage to get their noses out of the pages, we hurry to make the most of our time with them before they dive back in yet again, but we love them still! Here are some things you encounter when dating a bookworm.
