Oh, no! I just read the hobbies off to my husband and I asked him who I would date...and he said none of them. Yup, he knows me so well. (And he never even paused when I said this was a reading challenge trying to find a romantic match for me. Lol.)
★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix): Lol! Unfortunately, you've already eliminated the "reading" hobby guy. Just remember, you don't have to share the hobby. (And the actual characters in the books being represented don't actually do these things, for the most part.)
Nah, I actually never really dated readers. (Of course, since I've been with hubby for 38 years...married for 32, I haven't dated anyone in a few years.) If hubby is any indication, I prefer smart jocks.
★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix): Oh! But remember, the one you pick is the one being eliminated. So if there's one you hate most, do that one so that guy is history lol.
