It would totally depend on how old the vampire looks. For sure I would like the human to be turned at a perfect time, so that they would look close in age. It would be awful if they were mistaken for being a parent or grandparent...
I think that avg time to get married is a good direction for the dating period, because they ARE deciding if they want to spend their lives together.
That said, the process of choosing the perfect ages can be fun! They can even have dilemmas and conversations about it and plan the ideal age for transformation ^^ If the vampire looks 20-ish, then I guess they wouldn't have that much time to date, unless they're ok with a visible up to 5y age gap, so it could be fun to see the younger one look older ;) If the vampire looks 25-ish to 30, then there's already room for an age gap nobody will mind, and they can decide if they want to look similar in age or if they want one of them to look older and who. If the vampire is 40-ish and up, then they have a lot of time to date, decide and so on.
ohhhh this is all so true thank u for ur thoughtful answer! i think the vampire looks like he’s his 20s vaguely (and same for the human) so not so much time.. much to think about ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
the human has vampire hunter family members too and idk what to do about it because even if they come around to the vampire thing idk if they’d willingly get turned too.. many things to think about. vampires are so cool but its so hard to not make it sad lol
I guess I'd say like around 50-70 imo?? So they stop aging at that point and just enter retirement together kind of, and enjoy peaceful old life together. Idk if I interpreted u correctly
idk if you did interpret me correctly bc idk what you mean sorry ╥﹏╥
oh mb u asked how long they should WAIT for, I agree with the person above me !
ok so question for you guys. say youre reading a vampire x human story. how long do you think is an appropriate amount of time dating before the vampire turns the human and they live together forever? like considering they want to stop aging sooner than later so they don’t look like they have a big gap. in the human’s position how long would you wait to accept that kind of commitment?
im trying to write this kind of story and i think the human delays getting turned for a bit because he wants to be a food source for his lover for a little longer, but like. its not like i want him to get old and die lol. idk if like average time to wait until marriage is enough lol
