I mean I can buy it, just because most people are boring to others. As in, of all the people you've ever met in your life, how many have you fallen in love with, and even if you were 100+ years old, would that number be in the double digits even? If I were 1000 years old it's not like I'd have had hundreds of long term relationships because most people just aren't that interesting. Finding someone you like a lot is not easy or anything.

That being said, for this to work, the love interest in question then has to be shown to actually be interesting or somehow a good fit for the immortal in a way other people are not. And most authors settle with "but they were super specially hot" and it falls flat, especially because they tend to be like random teenagers. Frankly I could see vampires falling for older people more than younger, because there'd be more personality and life experience to have in common. So it's not so much "why would a 100+ year old go for a 30 year old," but rather "why is *this* 30 year old a good match when others aren't?" and it's up to the authors to show how, except they usually fail

Major agree, especially on your second paragraph.
