Do you think Edward from Twilight is really attracted to Bella only 'cause he can't read her mind?

Question

I just saw this vlog on youtube and the girl in it, reads twilight, said that she believes that he's not really in love with her, but the fact that he couldn't read her mind made him obsessed. She continued on saying that she's different from other girls with a private mind. What'd you think? Is he drawn because of Bella's privacy or is it true love? Remember these are JUST opinions. I know it's fiction.

Answer 1

i think its true love cause i dnt think he would be risking his life for her for this long if he was only attracted by her uniqness ...

Answer 2

in midnight sun he says heaven sent him a girl that had an impossibly potent scent to demand his attention, a silent mind to enflame his curiosity, a quiet beauty to hold his eyes, a selfless soul to earn his awe. she's exactly what hes been looking for. he does love her completely.

Answer 3

no way.

if he were, he would've gotten bored of her real fast.

Answer 4

omgawsh no way in h**l!

edward is the sweetest thing ever he wouldnt trick her like that

and he wouldnt like u know go that "far" just beacause

hes curious about her mind....

they share complete true love =]]

im soooo obsessed with that book its not even funny...;]

Answer 5

no way. if you read the first few pages of midnight sun (on stephenie meyers site) you'll see why i'm saying no

Answer 6

Noooo its true love.

Answer 7

No, he's not. If you've read some of Midnight Sun, then I think you'd get the idea that he doesn't love her just because he can't read her mind. She doesn't only fascinate him, but he sees Bella as different from the typical human girls he has encountered. She doesn't wear make-up, She's mature for her age. She's a genuinely good person. She isn't scared of him. She's selfless. Etc.  

Answer 8

I can say that i agree with her. I mean with that girl who has said that Edward is not in love with Bella because she's special.

I have been thinking about it , and i have come to a conclusion.

I have read the first chapter of Midnight Sun and when he sees Bella for the first time he isn't attracted to her. He is thinking that she's just this average typical teenage girl like everyone else. But , after their first meeting , he finds out that he can't read her thoughts , and her blood's smell drowns him to her.

So , let's just say that , if he could read her thoughts , he would see how much she wants him (after all , Bella is attracted to Edward from the moment she set eyes on him). And he would not find her that special. He wouldn't even become friends with her.

So , yeah , i can relate to some people who say that Edward is not in love with Bella. He craves for her blood and find her special because he can't read her thoughts.

That's not love for me.

I can say that he loves her , when he truly will start appreciate her for her own self , and not just because he can't read her thoughts.

Answer 9

I don't think either of them are in love. I believe they are infatuated with each other. Bellas fell in love in what? 2 DAYS?

Answer 10

nooooo.. he loves everything about her. The fact that he can't read her mind both intrigues him and frustrates him, but that is not the reason he loves her.

Answer 11

It's because her blood smells.
