Before I state my reasoning I would like to first make clear that I have heard a wise person say that you marry who you date, and if I am required to date one of these creatures, then obviously I will marry one because there are no humans/mortals to date, so that is why I’m dating one of these guys.
The werewolf does not appeal to me for several reasons. First off, dogs won’t leave you alone, they track and tackle you. I have never enjoyed it from the neighbor’s dog; I wouldn’t want my date doing the same thing. Second thing, to disappear for a week or so at a time doesn’t sound nice—let alone at the full moon when it can be really romantic—think of it, I could never become a true Aggie (never mind that I don’t even attend Utah State). [For those of you not familiar with Utah State, you become a “true Aggie” by kissing below the “A” at a full moon—they might be particular about it being at homecoming time, but I’m not sure.] Then thinking in the future, if we got married it could be a toss up if I have one child, or a whole litter of puppies—think of having five or more puppies, and then think about watching them all, teaching them the proper manners and not biting the neighbors. (Can you imagine explaining to the neighbor why their son or daughter is not a werewolf—it sounds awful.) The raising that many at one time might not be that bad, but what if I have the kids while I’m human and it’s a quintuplets, and then it’s a full moon and their at the hospital…can anyone else see this as a problem?
I don’t like the idea of dating a vampire. For one thing, I don’t react well when mosquitoes bite me, in fact I swell up. It is teased in my family that I have “sweet blood”. I can’t recall any vampires that have very much self control—let alone for “sweet blood”. Which brings up my next problem, when I get bit I will have no color in my face—and there goes all the joy of my friends teasing me and my face turning bright red. Honestly, that sounds worse then actually getting bitten. Another problem that I see is that vampires are active in the night and not during the day. I personally am a morning person. I could not date someone who would deprive me of my glorious mornings. Also, think the long run—teaching you children to not bite the neighbors. I really can’t explain how I know how much children like to bite—but I know they do. One other thing, a vampire cannot hold a respectable job, so who would be bringing in the bacon? That better not be me!
A fairy sounds romantic…until I think of Thumbelina, Tinkerbelle, and all small fairies—they are too small for me to date. He could follow me around and I wouldn’t know—I don’t like being followed. (This doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll follow me, but I wouldn’t like it either way.) Also, if we were dating and he decided to take me somewhere and we flew—chances are I’d have messed up hair before we got to our appointment—that wouldn’t be cool. Another problem, he has wings, that means chairs without backs—basically bar stools. I like back support—I’d be sad without it. Also, no sitting next to each other on the couch while watching a movie—he wouldn’t be able to handle it with his wings. Sad! Also, if I become a mother of fairies, I wouldn’t become one, which means that when their father is gone at work (whatever fairies do) my children will fly all around me and I won’t be able to do anything about it. That would be depressing and a harder motherhood than what I plan to sign up for.
I wouldn’t date a zombie because he doesn’t pass the first test of dateable material—he has to be alive. Honestly, if they aren’t alive, then they aren’t marriage material. Also, to go on the shallow end of things—I hear they’re ugly, and I wouldn’t want an ugly gene going through my posterity.
I would date a superhero. He would have some sort of respectable job and fight crime on the side. He is honest and busy, which means he won’t be calling me every five minutes. I have a life right now too—between school, work, homework, family, and everything else I do—I don’t need a puppy dog chasing me. He would be handsome—ever heard of an ugly superhero?—I haven’t either. He would know the safe places of town, the nice places to go out, and he would bring me home at a decent hour so that he can go fight crime. It really doesn’t matter what his super power is, whether it is strength, flight or anything, it doesn’t matter. If we got married our children would know the importance of giving back to the community. They would have an awesome role model to look up to. He might not be home all of the time, but that isn’t too big of a problem because he would understand the importance of Quality time, not just quantity.
Other non-datable magical creature:
*Centaurs would not be enjoyable on a car ride.
*Elves would take me away to their magical kingdom and I’d never see my family again.
*Wizards can be sneaky, same with magicians. Besides, I don’t need added magic in a friendship—being friends has its own magic.
*Fire witches—I’d get burned. (Depending on what book you read, there are male fire witches.)
So to sum it up, the only one that qualifies as dating material is the superhero.
