My strong feeling is that literary vampires, for people who live (potentially) forever, do not do the long-term planning that well. Or maybe they just have the power to suppress the memory of that last tragic relationship. On the other hand, they clearly have mad financial skillz.
The problem is that the whole vampire thing isn't going to work unless there's something remotely human involved at some point. I'm hardly going to be that interested a thoroughly alien society if there's not connection at all to something that's a bit familiar. Which is where your human comes in.
Plus everyone knows that vampire mojo madly speeds up everything. And closes off the bits of your brain that make you sane or aware of any danger. THERE'S A REASON THAT DEER DON'T DATE COUGARS, YOU KNOW! A clever book would have a blast working around that, but most books can't be bothered.
