Have you ever dated an only child? For some odd reason, I’ve dated a few. And though, as the youngest of three children, I can admit that their are certain character strengths/deficiencies that come with a personality of any birth order, there are a few particular things I’ve learned about only children in my limited experience.
Now, there are a few awesome characteristics that only children often display. First off, they are often ambitious, “achievement-oriented” types. Second, they tend to be close to their parents, which is nice for someone like me, who is always looking for a set of surrogate parents from whom I can glean a free meal.
