vampires wouldn't bother
I've only been trying to date people for the last decade or so, but I think I could get really good at it if I was eternally in my mid-twenties. It all seems so totally predictable. No wonder vampires are so slick at seduction - if I was able to be alive for hundreds of years, I'd have my game down to a T too. There would be no excuses at that point. There would be no wondering about what a certain text means or what a certain pause between text means. No, I wouldn't have to guess about someone being interested in me. I'd have my object of desire in the palm of my hand, not my cell phone. I'd be able to spot an interested person from across a crowded room, say "hello, there," to break the ice, and then the rest would would be so easy. Instead, I wait for a drink at the bar and when someone says, "you look like someone I've seen before," I say, "thank you," because I really don't feel like trying to figure out why they recognize me. Is it terrible that I don't really want to small talk at a bar with someone who I can't see myself either a) sleeping with or b) helping me in some way. Honestly, a vampire wouldn't bother, so why should I?
