If Immortals Were Real

(this isn't a Santa Claus moment, is it?)

Let's say Immortals were real, and you met one, and you found out what they were, and they were hot. Well, okay, not necessarily hot, but you found them attractive, and this is a fantasy, so...

Would you actually want to be involved with one? And by involved, we can go with boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, generic lover. Whatever [g] Pick what works for you.

A simple 'yes', 'no', or 'it depends' will suffice, but it would be fun to hear the reasoning behind your answer.

If I were the type for casual flings, then yeah, but I'm not. As for actually involved in some kind of ongoing relationship more than friendship... no.

Because one of two things would happen. Either I would get old and die while the immortal stayed the same, or one day the immortal just wouldn't come home, no warning, no way to prepare (and yeah, I know anybody could get hit by a bus or whatever, but it's still not the same when you expect the person to live "forever")

Yeah, I think I'd say 'no' as well, and for many of the same reasons. I suppose if I had no family that might be endangered by the relationship, I'd be more inclined, but I'd think the dangers would make me decide no.

It's kind of what Nat told Nick in FK, in 'Fever', that one day she was afraid she'd be like Tracy, with no one to share her grief with. If you were married/involved with an immortal, and they never came home, you'd really have no one you could ever talk to.

I'm such a cheery soul!
