Sparkles

Alistair,

I think my boyfriend is a vampire. Should I cut him off or try to reform him?

Sparkles,

So you think that your man is a vampire and you want to bring him to your side… presumably the non-vampiric side. In my experience (and, quite honestly, the experience of anyone who is even passingly familiar with vampires), conversions between humans and vampires usually go in one direction and it’s not the one you’re thinking. Quite honestly, it’s only surprising that you’ve not already been bitten.

You say that you “think” he’s a vampire. Revisit the possibility that you’re wrong.

Dreaming

Alistair, 

I’ve been having dreams for the last few years. There’s a man, he’s named Nick. After a number of dreams in which Nick was a character, I actually looked him up to see if there was something out there. Nope. Last weekend, in Vegas, I bumped into a man outside a coffee shop. Spilled my drink all over him. Alistair, it was Nick. He looked exactly like Nick. I asked what his name was, and it was Nick. We exchanged numbers – he still doesn’t know why – and I’m writing to you while looking at his business card and wondering what to do. Help?

Dreaming, 

My response for this situation has two possible answers. On the one hand, you may have literally found the man of your dreams! Carry on. 

On the other hand, you may have found the man destined to kill you. It’s a bit of a Hail Mary, but if you succeed in killing him first, you might actually become immortal.
