It would certainly be hard to find a potential lover he could trust enough with his killing. It would probably have had to have been someone he could blackmail into keeping his secret. Though Mimzy doesn't seem fazed by it, I wonder if she knew about it and kept it quiet because he protected her. In Hell it's kind of a moot point, since he wants to be known as a killer. Perhaps his obsessive feelings make him feel out of control, which is something he dislikes, and he could see it as a weakness to be so infatuated with someone that he might lose control over himself. In the same way I can see him both wanting and not wanting children. They're also liabilities, one more thing to keep in check. But if they could be controlled, and behaved how he wanted them to, I do think he would have wanted them. (even as a bit of a curiosity he could dump when he was bored of them)
