Thinking about this a little more, I think why I like that John has fallen in love a few times, and that he possibly does not/will not have a One True Love, stems from reading too many romance novels in which the characters only fall in love once (and if you were a woman, you didn't have sex before that person, while the standards were vastly different for men). So anything that was even a little more complicated than OTPing to such a degree was something I tended to like.
And in regards to vampires, if they've lived for a long time, I think it's possible they'd have more than one "love of their life" too. Or other types of tangled relationships, like when characters have a lot of history together (which, huh, explains part of my love for the X-Men -- the not aging thing or very slowly getting older since their creation is a bit vampiric).
