There is a fine line between being SMART and backing away when someone has a trait that you know you don't want in a partner (non-reader) and being so picky that you'll be single forever. I think you're still on the right side of that line.
I am married, but once in a while I think about what things would be deal-breakers if I met someone to date, and there are definitely some things that would turn me off to the point of not even wanting to start even a friendship up. What's the point? I know myself and know that those things are too important to me to ever let them go, and why would I want to start a relationship when I detect an issue that will cause me to be a dissatisfied NAG. No thanks! It's one thing if he prefers to read Sci Fi and non-fiction and you only read suspense and the classics (or something) ... that can be worked around. But to be like, "What's an ereader?" OMGosh, he lives in a hole! Haha!
