Of course, take this with humor. Although if you spot one, send him her way, would you?

Spotting a Vampire

• Beware of 'dark and mysterious' vampire wannabe. Fakes are almost always incredibly needy. If his hands aren't corpse-cold, walk away.
• Vampires are older than they appear. The way they talk will hint of another time in a far away place.
  ampires often hang out with pulsed people, trying to fit in. Look for the guy in the group that is quiet, confident and has a pale complexion in the middle of the summer.
• Vampires rarely display their power. Look for the man who go out of the way to show how strong they are and cross them off your list.
• Make eye contact with possible vampires. If his gaze gives you shivers, there's a strong possibility he's the real thing.

Courting a Vampire

• Being popular and trendy is a sure turn-off for vampires. So don't try to fit in or be liked. Create your own style.
• Don't wear a crucifix around your neck. It'll only ruin a good hug and keep those pencils behind your ear!
• Do not throw yourself at a vampire. It's a sure way to get the blood sucked out of you without so much as a discussion about the possibility of immortality.
• Vampires love a challenge. Show some interest then back off.
• Let him be the expert on historical facts. They've usually had first hand experiences that are much more accurate than your history books.
• Make sure your vampire isn't one that fully accepts his nature. If he isn't majorly conflicted in some way, run!

Dating A Vampire

• Vampires feed on the blood of the living. So always go out in public until you are absolutely sure you can trust him.
• When eating out with your vampire, don't put garlic on your pizza. In fact, give up garlic altogether.
• Don't expect a vampire to make the first move. When the time is right, you'll know. Be brave.
• Many vampires can read minds. Try not to obsess about what you really want to do with him.
• Vampires are strong, moody and undead. Give him some space when he needs it.
• If a vampire tries to kiss you when he's angry, yeah, run!

Going Immortal

• Never ask a vampire if you can become immortal. If it's meant to be, it'll happen.
• The process of becoming immortal is extremely painful. If you don't think you can handle it, you probably shouldn't be dating a vampire to begin with.
• If a vampire asks you to join him in immortality and you're not interested, tell him no then try to run away!
