Looking For The Perfect Partner? Forget Romantic Dates, Just Ask The Order They Were Born In Their Family!

According to most psychologists, our characters and natures are established by the time we’re six years old. And now, an intriguing new book by clinical psychologist Linda Blair throws light upon one of the principal factors that make an impact upon our personalities – the order in which we happen to be born (1)!

Picture this: You meet someone new. Granted, you don’t know much about him or her yet, but there’s an undeniably powerful chemistry brewing between the two of you and it requires some exploring! So, you both agree to meet once more. And if that date happens to go well, the two of you will meet again. And again.

And then, in the proceeding months, you will start to finally discover who this sweetheart of yours truly is. Whether s/he is ambitious, confident, disorganized, emotionally-needy or jealous. And that is when you’ll know for sure if your new sweetheart is a keeper or not, right?

Nope, wrong! Or, sort of. There exists a quicker way for you to deduce whether you and the cute new guy at work would make a match made in heaven – or hell. And all you require to do is ask him a simple question: What position does he hold in the birth order of his family? Did he come in first or last? Did he happen to be born in the middle or is he his parents’ only child?

Now, this may sound like an innocuous and benign attempt at small talk (or simply bizarre, depending on the intensity with which you ask it); however, his answer can hold a treasure trove of knowledge for you. You see, every birth-order position has rather specific traits and characteristics. And not only do these apply to your soon-to-be boyfriend, they also apply to yourself!

For example, if you’re a last-born, while he happens to be a first-born, the two of you will get along extremely well. However, on the other hand, if both of you were only children, well, then there’s trouble. Expect to be headed towards an ugly breakup!

So, in case you’re about to tread the murky waters of a new romance, take a look at our guide to choosing the perfect partner – on the basis of birth-orders!

1. A Last-Born And A First-Born 

The old saying “opposites attract” holds true here, for this is a good match! In fact, we’d even say last-borns are the happiest when they’re paired with a first-born. The less organized and dependent nature of the last-born allows them to genuinely appreciate the caring and organized nature of a first-born. Meanwhile, the rebelliousness and spontaneity of a last-born comes as a delight to first-borns.

This is a rather difficult partnership as first-borns are known to be highly competitive, which isn’t a very healthy dynamic in a loving relationship. This can give rise to conflicts and ugly arguments as both parties struggle to take charge. However, if there is mutual respect present, then there’s hope for a happy ever after.

3. An Only Child And A First-Born 

These two don’t always mesh with ease. While the first-born may be sensitive to the emotional needs of their only child partner, they’re also capable of challenging their single-born sweethearts for dominance in the relationship – something that never goes down well with the independent and whimsical only children.

4. A First-Born And A Middle-Born

A successful relationship! Middle-borns have great experience negotiating conflicts between siblings and making compromises, which actually gives them the potential to form good relationships with partners from any birth-order.

5. A Last-Born And A Middle-Born 

Another great match. The amenable middle-born, who is always ready to compromise, is the very likely to allow the ambitious last-born to pursue their dreams, regardless of how impossible or unconventional they may be.

6. Both Middle-Borns

Middle-borns can have great relationships with fellow middle-borns as well. There’s one caveat, however – both of them mustn’t be too differential to the desires and wishes of each other, otherwise they will have difficulty making decisions!

7. An Only Child And A Middle-Born 

This is a fairly good union as well. The only child will most probably want to wear the pants in the relationship, and the accommodating middle-born won’t be too bothered by this.

8. Both Last-Borns

Now this is a rather fascinating match! When a last-born chooses another youngest child, they are most likely to have an intriguingly creative partnership. Yet, at the same time, mature decision-making and mundane tasks of life will prove to be a challenge to a last-born duo.

9. An Only Child And A Last-Born 

This could also be a potentially successful match. The only child, who comes from a conscientious and generally sensible lot, will usually lead the not-so-organized last-born partner.

10. Both Only Children

We apologize for the dramatics, but this is a match made in hell! It’s very difficult for an only child to get along long-term with another of his or her ilk. Both partners are somewhat novices when it comes to reading emotional cues and sorting out conflicts, which builds the potential for misunderstandings.
