So, I need advice.

I have a potential girl friend I've been talking to. How do I tell her I'm a vampire without freaking her out, or think I'm crazy?

You don't because you're not a vampire, they don't exist.
If you want a real relationship you need to be REAL.

Could I get real advice from an actual vampire not a troll?

Without much information, there’s not much to say, except that if you haven’t known each other for very long, I think that you should focus on the basics of getting to know each other before delving into deeper subjects. Just my opinion, a human isn’t an ideal long term partner for a vampire.

I've known her for quite a while. We dated in high school. I know her opinion on otherkin, she thinks they're crazy. So she'd probably think the same of a vampire. So, maybe she's not a good choice for me now.

Well, the topic of vampirism is quite delicate, especially if the other person doesn’t have much understanding or knowledge about it. Even though it might just be a conversation, many barriers can be raised. It can get even more complicated when someone says, "I am a vampire." As I mentioned, their understanding of vampirism can be completely different from the other person's.

This is a topic I avoid bringing up with people or even in relationships. I think, "Is there a need?" There are peculiarities about the subject, and if you observe, even within the occult community, there is prejudice. There are many views on what vampirism is, and these views exist precisely because people are different, deal with things differently, and have their own practices.

What you might do initially is just to approach the topic and understand what the other person understands by vampirism. I had an acquaintance who once claimed to be very interested in the subject and open-minded. I started talking to him about it, in general.

One day he told me he had nightmares, and the next day he was feeling bad and blamed me. He said, "Wow, I think it was our talk about this, wasn't it you who caused this?"

So, sometimes I started questioning the approach to the topic and don't see this openness as positive unless the other person shares the same line of thought. Otherwise, the "code" of discretion and anonymity for self-preservation ends up being better.

Even witchcraft itself, or other practices, end up being seen in a distorted way. I've had relationships, but without the need to expose myself in that way. Therefore, you might consider that you can have relationships where you don't need to expose yourself. Or, if your intention is to be 100% yourself, to find someone who will align with that.

I know it's a tough subject, but I like to be open about myself to my partners.

Listen to your heart. But listen also to your inner wisdom. Be true to your Self.

But that's harder implemented than said. You'll need to know your values. If it does not align, it does not align, but if it aligns you should find a way.

My heart is telling me to do it, but my brain is telling me no. Then again, she's not responding to my messages. So maybe I don't have to worry about it.

I would advise being blunt and straight to the point, when relaying information that might be considered questionable to the other party in a relationship, or a pending one. No point in wasting your time or the time of others. For example, I practice Vampirism, this is what it entails and means for me specifically in my life, is this something that you feel is an issue or not. Done.

I guess it doesn't matter, she ghosted me. Pluss she's a good Christian girl.

Doesn't matter. Make the focal point your character, not vampire.

Once beings see your focal poignant essence is your character and maturity, it won't matter to them.

Not just to your girlfriend, but to any being you come across that has an ounce of consciousness in them. Deity, servant, friend, enemy, family, equal, or situations that require strength, mercy, consideration and other innate values shared actually by all in truth. Doesn't matter the place, condition, time, love and the individual (with all due given wholesome respect - of course).

Now, neither it should matter to you, in my honest and humble opinion: because then it is defining and apprehending (binding) you, not you it.

And successing in that leads to carrying it with Grace, rather than vice versa.

Since... There is a certain line of harmony of what binds us and what frees us vs. what we bind and what we free. That faint line with correct inclination can happen for all four the same ~- Take some time to digest this possibility and its how, in the right and appropriate way, but sometimes in harsh linings (to self-correct) as well. To not break their multitude of purified balance. But most important of this all is that it comes from a natural source fence - and one that does not involve the light of desire-sense.

Of course these are my own assumptions, nothing more.

And not anything else.

Feel free to try and see for yourself.
