Thanks for opening this qs, lol, I know how boring it is to answer so many qs, so answer any qs that u like, u don't have to answer them all!
1. What makes Bella that attractive to Edward? She really seems as any typical American teen!
2. In the real life, I can’t imagine anyone sitting beside a vampire whom s/he barely knows, but Bella could do it very bravely…HOW?
3. Why Edward can’t read Bella’s mind? Or was he just faking it “faking that he can’t read her mind”?
4. When she was lost in Port A, “I donno if I have spelled that right”, when the 4 guys were blocking her way out of there, then Edward came with the Volvo car, how did she know that it was him? I mean she couldn't see him? And is rushing into a car that looks like her lovers car without making sure a reasonable thing to do? I wouldn't do so!!
5. when she had planned to run out the hotel and meet James in her moms place, why did the author used the same old trick which is “I need to go to the rest room” , like everyone else who wanted to run away!
6. What I liked the most about their love story was that it was all about love, true love, like I don't think that he has dated her just because he wanted to sleep with her or sommat! So in your opinion, is there such a thing nowadays?
Thanks again…

2. She had no clue he was a vampire



3. see Book 4 - it's all explained

1. At first, the only thing that attracted Edward to Bella was the mystery of not being able to read her mind. However, as he began to talk to her he became intrigued by her and started to fall in love. Why she's so beautiful to him, you ask. I have no idea - I guess it's the same for every couple in love. you can never really understand the way the two people feel about each other unless you experience it yourself.



2. Well, at first Bella didn't know that he was a vampire. When she found out, I guess, she had already started to trust him and therefore trusted him not to hurt her. It was a case of: he hasn't killed me yet so why would he decide to now? Also, she became sort of infatuated with him so that probably had something to do with it.



3. Edward can't read Bella's mind because she is a shield. (If you don't want to find out something that you will find out in Breaking Dawn, don't read on.) Her mind has a sort of forcefield around it that won't let anyone else inside of it. This is why Edward can't read her mind. However, physical abilities such as Jasper's can still affect Bella. This is because Jasper's ability causes an effect on your body and not your mind.



4. Firstly, she recognised his car. Secondly, she recognised his voice straight away.



5. I have no idea! But she explained it well though. By the bathrooms was an exit and I suppose this was the only way that Bella would have thought of to escape. She needed a quick escape plan and this was all that came to mind. She's not exactly the brightest crayon in the box.



6. I think so, yes. I'm a hopeless romantic! True love never really dies and somewhere in the world there are couples who are experiencing this feeling right now!

1. You bring up a good point. The only answer that applies as a sentence that I've gotten is "opposites attract". The only reason he wasted his time in the first place though is because he wanted to figure out why he couldn't read her mind.

2. At what point in the book? She didn't know he was a vampire for a very long time. But once she figured it out, she knew that he had gone this long without killing her. So why should it be any different then?

3. Her mind is very private, according to Ms. Meyer, and not even Edward can access it.

4. Who else has a silver volvo and drives like that? And would you rather stay there and have who-knows-what happen?

5. Bella needed to get out and needed to get out fast. The author wasn't doing what was best for her fan's entertainment, she was doing what was best for Bella and her mission.

6. It's hard to find. I personally know it's out there, because that's how I feel about love. I can't be the only one, right?

1. Bella's blood is so potent to Edward that he has a hard time resisting her. The fact that Bella trusts him with her life is very astonishing to him. Also, the fact that Edward cannot read her mind just pulls him in. Bella is in every way a delicate and fragile human being who must be carefully watched over at all times by Edward, since she is SO madly in love with him to the point where she could care less about her life in order to save his.



2. Bella simply trusts him. She is not afraid of him, as she can sense that he is not an evil vampire, but a vegetarian. Bella knows that he cares for her and has feelings for her, and she would stop at nothing to tenderly love him back.



3. Edward cannot read her mind because Bella is a very private person and she does not easily show her emotions. This is very curious to Edward, as Bella is very strong-minded and is not easily tempered or charmed.



4. As Bella spots an approaching Volvo, she can only assume that it is Edward because nobody drives as crazy and he does and with such a determined force. Only Edward could have found her in such a degraded state.



5. "I need to go to the restroom" is a very common excuse, yes, but it is also very believable and common. I mean, everybody has to go to the bathroom sometime!!!



6. Yes, I do believe that there are relationships where love and only caring love is the factor, instead of a physical need. I hope I do not have a relationship simply due to a physical wanting!

1) It comes up at several points that he is attracted to her scent, which makes him want to drink her blood as well as to...well, sleep with her.

2) She knows that he's not going to do anything, in fact, for awhile it seems as if she knows it better than he does, and after 100 years, he has enough self control to ...curb his appetite.

3) The answer to that doesn't come up until a later book, so if you don't want to know, skip to #4. All of the vampires had certain skills as humans, and when they became vampires those skills were intensified. That is part of her 'skill'.

4) She realized it was the only chance she had out of the situation, and was freaked out and confused enough to jump into the car. And, I guess she just had a gut feeling and went with it.

5) Because it worked, and it sounds like the kind of ill-thought out plan that Bella would have used at that time.

6) I really hope so. But their relationship was something that kind of drove me crazy about the book. It was very much a Romeo and Juliet situation, except that Romeo was a vampire of course. Two kids meet and immediately fall in love for no reason, seem to have no real chemistry together, and make huge, illogical sacrifices to be together. The difference was that these two live happily ever after, and therefore lack the brilliance that is Shakespeare.

1) I think he's attracted to her in part because he doesn't know what she's thinking and this intrigues him. He gets to know her and finds out that she's not like other girls, and he finds her attractive because she's clumsy and innocent and needs someone to protect her.



2) Keep in mind that people in Forks dont know vamps exist, so they don't know there are vamps in the room. There is something "scary" about the vamps that unconsciously keeps humans at a distance, I think.



3) He's not faking, is all I'll say. She has the ability to block people from reading her mind. Those skills are magnified in a later book.



4) I thought about this myself. She was in trouble and the guys were drunk and obviously wanted to harm her, so if I were she and a car pulled up and someone told me to get in then I'd get in, lol, because obviously he was trying to help. BTW, he wasn't her "lover" at that point in time.



5) I don't know. Maybe she's unimaginative, lol. Or, maybe because it could work in real life. I'm wondering why Alice didn't act on her visions where she saw Bella running away and think that any action by Bella would be suspicious and keep a close eye on her.



6) Probably not many. Too many horny teens - and they lie about wanting to wait for true love or not wanting to only have sex, but this is just to trick you. Their actions speak louder than words and eventually they'll try to pressure you to have sex because that's all they wanted in the first place. The lie was to get close to you and for you to trust them, and then they put the pressure on you.



I thought Twilight was a sweet innocent romance, which is why I liked it.
