I completely agree on one side, but view it this way:

-When Claire and Renesmee are young, Jacob and Quil are NOT waiting to "hopefully" have a romantic relationship with them, not at all. The prospect of future romance is not in their minds- but rather, Jacob and Quil feel as brothers and will act as brothers.

So, in a way, it's not creepy, because it's like "imprinting" just make Jacob be Renesmee's brother. He only views her as a sister, as family, at this young age. When she is a preteen, he will continue to be her brother, and friend. It is only if, when she grows older, she decides that she is in love with and wants to pursue a romantic relationship with Jacob, that he will begin to view her as a romantic partner.

Does that make sense?

Their feelings are not geared towards a romantic relationship in the future. The way Jacob and Quil feel about Renesmee and Claire when they are little is the same as a brother feels towards a little sister. There is nothing sexual or romantic about it in their minds. They will just see the girls as their sisters, whom they are willing to sacrifice their lives for- like real blood brothers, until the girl possibly begins to develop feelings.

Basically, the relationship is only familiar. The only time imprinting equals romance is if the girl decides it. Whatever Claire and Renesmee feel for Jacob and Quil will be what Jacob and Quil are for them. They may see them as sisters forever. It's like a childhood friend.

But I still find it creepy, too. I just think that Meyer intended them to be more like brother-sister than anything, and if Renesmee likes him when she's older - since he isn't technically aging and she ages fast, so at one point they will be the same age - then it won't be creepy cuz they'll both be the same age at that point.
