How are Whitby and Dracula linked?
Whitby is closely associated with Dracula because Bram Stoker who wrote the original novel spent time in the town while on holiday there during the summer of 1890. While he was there he was researching and writing a novel that would eventually become Dracula. The most important piece of information Stoker found while staying in Whitby was in a document he found in Whitby library, An Account of the Principalities of Wallacia and Moldavia by William Wilkinson. This document contained a reference to a 15th Century prince who had earned himself the nickname 'Dracula'. In a way, Whitby can be seen as Dracula's birth place. Not only did Stoker spend time in Whitby himself, he also set a significant part of Dracula in the town and used it as the place Dracula first steps ashore in England in the form of a big black dog which jumps from a ship called The Demeter which had run aground in Whitby. If you are interested in Dracula, you can take a trip to Whitby and see it all for yourself!

Who is the creator of Dracula?
Vampires come from Count Dracula, whilst I don't know much about him as in details, this is Vlad the Impalers father which furthered the story and gruesomeness of the family with his triumph but at the cost of genocide.
The count was known to drink the blood of his victims in victory and used a sharp impale device worn on the fingers, so claw like and that's all I really know and that the story derived from this era, so maybe look into this further.
Prince Vlad did drink blood. He would take his bread and dip it into the buckets of blood that he would put under the people he killed on the stakes. He was known for carrying out extremely cruel torture and executions.
Prince Vlad had a man over for dinner one night. Vlad saw that the man wasnt very pleased. Vlad asked him, "What is wrong?" The man looked at him and said i cant stand the smell of all of the rotting corpes. Prince Vlad smiled and said well if you cant stand the smell... Vlad had one of his men cut of the mans nose. When the man was dead Vlad had him put on a stake to hang there driping with blood like the others. Prince Vlad smiled at the man and said "Well you wont have to smell the corpes any more!" He laughed rigth after.
Early belief in vampires is thought to have come from people at the time not fully understanding the process of a body decomposing after death and so trying to rationalize this by creating the figure of the vampire to explain what they didn't understand.
Historically, the name "Dracul" comes from group of knights in old Romania called the Order of the Dragon. Vlad II Dracul, father of Vlad III Ţepeş's (who is the person history calls Vlad the Impaler) was admitted to the order around 1431. The name Dracula means "Son of Dracul".
In modern Romanian, it means "son of the devil" but in Vlad's time it meant "son of the dragon."
Bram Stoker borrowed the name for his famous vampire novel, "Dracula," Stoker toured Romania while gathering material for his novel and heard of Vlad in his travels. However, he demoted his character to the rank of count. The real life Dracula was a prince.
It was believed in myth that Vampires drank the blood of the living to keep themselves going. As blood is seen as the energy of life iteself, it makes sense that the undead would seek it.

He was the ruler who fought against Otoman Empire in XV century.
Who did Dracula fall in love with?
well, if you're looking for the answer to the joke of the same question, it is "the girl necks door", which i don't find amusing at all.
the answer to the story-related question is that Dracula never truly had a lover, though he seemed to be attracted to two women named Mina and Lisa, drinking both their blood. Neither of the women shared his sentiments.
i encourage you to read Dracula by Bram Stoker.
