    So, a vampire GF, huh?

    If this is implying that I would cause a vampire girl to come into existence specifically for the purpose of loving me, then I think that would fundamentally be a very shallow relationship, no different from waifu fanfiction or an AI chatbot. If choosing the vampire GF rather causes someone who was going to become my girlfriend anyways to become a vampire, then I think that would be a very bad thing to do, it would mean that I didn’t really love her.

    So in either of these cases, I would invariably choose the garlic bread.

    There is however a third and much more interesting interpretation of the question, where the vampire girl will exist and will fall in love with me regardless of my own actions, and so the question is really, “A vampire girl has just confessed her love for you. Someone is offering a lifetime supply of nonperishable garlic bread if you turn her down. What do you do?”

    …In which case the answer would depend on a lot of specifics. Which is to say, I don’t love garlic bread so much that I would right off the 🦇bat🦇 refuse to accommodate someone’s hypersensitivities or phobias or allergies to it. So in deciding whether to go out with her, I would first of all hold her to the same standards as anyone else, then, assuming she meets those standards, raise some particular concerns about her vampirism. The fact that she can “turn” people with a bite and can’t stand garlic are not dealbreakers for me, but a number of other matters might be, in particular the risk of myself accidentally being “turned” without my consent, and what this would entail. If there was a risk, and the terms of vampirism didn’t seem worth that risk, then I would honestly choose the garlic bread.

    Otherwise, call me shanari shanari ojousama the way I kyun for the vampire girl
