Library and Love

My mom is always telling me that I need to meet my true love at my local library. I think she believes than they will love books and reading. However, as we live in an ever growing computer techy world, it seems to me the guys that show up are there for computers (free internet) and movies. Never books :(. So what do you think, should we be able to meet our soul mates where are best friends live :)?
 
Sure. Why not? I see lots of men in the library taking out books. Granted, most of them have cute little kids holding their hands. I know that young single guys use the library though. My brother does all the time. He is broke and jobless, so it is library or nothing. Along those lines, you may be better off trolling bookstores and coffee shops.
 
Well, I find it a bit hard to meet your soul-mate in the Library, that is if you believe in a soul-mate! I personally don't. People usually go to libraries to spend time with the book, they might not be willing to socialize, but always give it a try.

What about parks in your area? Though, here we don't have good parks, but I love to go to a big park, read a book, have a drink or play chess.

Good luck!
 
Well if you want to really strike up a conversation with someone, read Ayn Rand anywhere!. Coffeehouses, bookstores, doesn't matter. You will get a strong reaction about her from anyone and everyone. I doubt you will go two hours reading in public without someone commenting about her to you. Good luck.
 
If you believe in destiny then you will meet your true love when the time is right, where-ever you are, so don’t worry about it.

If you don’t believe in destiny then start asking all the ones you fancy out on a date, until one says yes, but keep to bookstores rather than the library.

If they can’t afford to buy books, there isn’t much future for you, with them. :)
 
I met my fiance online.

I did ask him how many books he owned within the first week though. He said 60, which wasn't many by my reckoning (I have hundreds of books) but it was more than my ex. In fact more than any of my exes. That's what made me continue to see him and we've now been together for 7 years, longer than any relationship I've ever had.

I also got a book out for him on my library card. And he never returned it.
 
If you're old enough, take some upper-level literature classes. English majors make the best boyfriends. :)

But of course, if you actively go out and do whatever it is you want to do, meeting like-minded people will naturally happen. It just takes time, sometimes. (That said, I met my bookish boyfriend through mutual friends who don't own a book between them. You just never know where these guys are hiding. ;) )
 
I always liked to go out with "bookish" guys but my husband ended up being not that much into books, unless they are reference books about WWII or airplanes. We cuddle: I read my books, he read his Flypast magazine or watch a documentary and we are happy. ;) :D
It is nice to go out with guys that have the same interests as you but you should not be too hung up on that. Go out and do what you like, the guys you meet then will probably be in line with what you want and may even like to read.
 
WWII books, eh? Your husband sounds like someone I would get along with.

I have always preferred bookish women over the others.

Everyone has such wonderful advice. I guess I just really do need to be patient. Not the easiest thing to do when you feel like what your lacking in life is that one person that understands you better than anyone out there. I'll stick to reading my books right now and wait . . . . hopefully not long. :D
