Yeah it's like, should he just stop dating period? Dude's immortal, but also an immortal human. Humans are social creatures, we need romantic partners, friends, family, etc. I think the age gap is weird, but I can't fault Abraham for still having the capacity to love. I think it'd still feel weird though even if Kate was 30, but the way Kate framed their relationship helped me understand where the appeal is coming from

I mean i feel like yall are kinda intentionally missing the point. Just cause he's super old doesn't mean it isn't weird he's dating a girl who was part of the teen team like a year ago. Nobody is telling him to stick to 90 year old retirees. Just you know maybe women who are old enough to have graduated college at the very least lol.

It makes sense for him. If he starts dating a 50 year old, she'll be dead in no time for him. This way he at least has some time with them relative to his lifespan.

Like the Thraxans, Immortal seems to experience the passage of time at one second per second.

Yeah, but think how human children and old people both also technically experience time at the same rate, yet they feel the passage of time very differently. A 6 year old having to wait a year is eternal, for an 80 year old it's barely noticeable
