^That’s a very good question. I’ve wondered this myself. But, no, I don’t think that a ‘singer’ is necessarily somebody’s mate. I think that Edward falling in love with his ‘singer’ was purely serendipity. What if a hundred years from now, Edward meets somebody who smells even better than Bella? Would they be considered Edward’s new mate? What if somebody smelled extra sensational to Bella? I don’t think she’d consider them her mate. Besides, Bella said that Charlie smelled EXTRA good to her. Charlie came close to becoming Bella’s noontime meal that day. Also, consider this: We know that at least one of Emmett’s singers was a woman. BUT, we have no idea if the other singer was a woman… or a man. So, it’s possible that a vampire’s ‘singer’ could be of the same sex. And if the vampire is not gay… or willing to give things a whirl, despite his sexual preference…. I still don’t think that things would work out very well. This is because most vampires would most likely kill their singers almost immediately. Edward almost succumbed to Bella’s aroma in biology class – and for a few moments, he was willing to not only kill Bella… but to take out the entire class as well. So, I don't think a 'singer' is a vampire version of shape-shifter imprinting. I also think the person is correct that Edward’s will is stronger than even Carlisle’s in some respects…. and for the reason they mentioned.
