Have you been looking for the one? If countless dates have led to failed relationships, you might think the one doesn’t exist or has yet to be born. Well, you could be right on the born thing. Apparently, your birth order can predict your romantic compatibility. So instead of going out on a date to see if you like someone enough to be in a relationship with, just ask outright whether they are the firstborn, middle or later born, last born, or an only child.
In the book, The Birth Order Book of Love, author William Cane wrote that the order of your birth has an effect on your personality, which has a direct relation to how you deal with other people, and eventually your romantic partner.
