What's your birth order? (via Trinity)

And for my mate:

Only Child/First Child: If you are an only child male, you can make this a good relationship by understanding that the first born is often vague about what she feels, wants or needs. By paying close attention to her nonverbal communication, you can orient yourself to her. Unless you pay attention to nonverbal cues, this could be a difficult relationship for you. You will be trying to satisfy her as you imagine she wants rather than knowing her. . If you are a female only, your relationship with a first born is likely to be compatible. He will tend to rely on you for direction.
