Other Whamp houses?

Thomas becomes an Erus (the Etruscan Eros) he can feed on love instead, and is repelled by Lust. Harry has explained love as creative (it’s how Bonea came about) rather than destructive, so no more life force consumption.That makes him a very suitable candidate for Amorrachius. My theory is that the White Court were originally created by an inversion of Erus bloodline, perhaps by Drakul (it explains the hate between the White and Black Courts)

How would it work? Does the whamp date the human for a few months, invest enough in the relationship to make the human fall in love and then feed on them for the rest of their lives? Sounds like marriage to me. Or does it high-jack an existing relationship and join in for a threesome? That scenario is more suitable for a romance/erotica novel. :D
Conspiracy Theorist:
Thomas is in true love with Justine which is a source of sustenance. As an Erus he would be able to match up true love and get it to blossom, the inverse of the come hither Whamps currently have.
He walks into a bar and instead of provoking lust and licentiousness in the crowd towards him, strangers suddenly seek each other out mysteriously drawn to each other and find that they are indeed soulmates when they would never have sought each other out otherwise, creating a bond with plenty of extra energy for Thomas to feed upon.
Fcrate:
Too fake. It can't be true love, because it was induced by a 3rd party mentally pushing couples together.

Harry Dresden as written by LKH?

I think having a bar that just happens to be full of unwitting soulmate-pairs-to-be is indeed "too fake," but the basic idea seems like it could work. It's not that it would "push people together," just spot the soulmate-potential (just as a "normal" Whamp can simply feel someone's horniness) and reduce inhibitions/reserve between the two (or more than two; let's not be poly-phobic! ;) )
Thomas as matchmaker (cue Fiddler on the Roof, or the opening scenes of Mulan).
