- You will be dating an independent person who\u2019s also not afraid to be alone
Only children get a lot of bad press, because of the false notion that they take time adjusting to other people and are loners. While being an only child gives you the ability to be on your own without getting bored, in an age where more and more people find it difficult to survive solitude, only children perform well. They are also not particularly adamant about you spending every hour of every day with them. They get that you\u2019ve got your own life and want to enjoy their own life too.\n![\"man](\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/man-in-conversation-with-woman.jpg\")

- They have in most cases awesome bonds with at least one of their parents.
Only children tend to get a lot of undivided attention from their parents. In most cases, they have a very close relationship with at least one of their parents. They value this connection and their parents\u2019 approval of you matters more to them than you\u2019d expect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n- \n
- Sharing is a clich\u00e9 but it\u2019s partially true
Yes, you heard me. They don\u2019t have the best sharing abilities in the world. It is a clich\u00e9 that is a bit stretched though. Only children aren\u2019t spoilt brats of the world who take everything. They\u2019re just used to have a suitable amount that is theirs; thus sharing anything isn\u2019t second nature to them. They have grown up sleeping alone in their beds. They sleep with their own quilt. They have their own small spot, own book space, own gadgets. They aren\u2019t used to sharing, but that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t. They just need to be reminded that when spooning the idea is to be close to each other and not hog the bed and the comforter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nRead more: Top three annoying things people do after sex that put off their lovers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

- They want a big family
Most single children have experienced living in a small wonderful family, and while they are grateful for the experience, they want to have a lot and I mean a LOT of children and go through that experience. (I\u2019m an only child and I\u2019m aiming at being a parent to seven. In the age of population explosion adoption is a great idea but yes, I\u2019m aiming at seven kids. Do. Not. Judge.) So if you\u2019re planning to marry one, you might have to imagine a big family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n- \n

Image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n They are direct about their feelings
When you grow up as an only child, you\u2019re not going through the channel of your sibling when getting some information to your parents. Neither do you have an extra family member to process what you go through, so you talk to your parents? About just about everything. As mentioned before, only children usually have amazing bonds with their parents. This is one of the reasons why. This also means that dating them makes things easier. They don\u2019t hold back when they\u2019re feeling something. They might not be all extroverts, but they\u2019ll be eloquent about their emotional expression, which can be great in a relationship<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n- \n
- They do seek attention when they\u2019re around you
Even though they can deal with being on their own, when they\u2019re with you, they need you to look at them, hear them, see them, love them. It might sound annoying at first, and attention seeking has traditionally been used as a negative term, but remember that they\u2019re doing this not because they think you\u2019re an audience, but because your attention validates them. They\u2019re giving you an important role in their lives. So yes, it might feel like it\u2019s all about them, but they\u2019re not just craving attention, they\u2019re craving validation and love. They\u2019re also good at communicating directly, so if you bring up this as a problem at a certain point, after initial struggles, they might just get it and back off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSoul fire<\/h3>\n
Only children are not a specifically different species that is great or horrible to date. They are unique the way everyone is. These are all generalised, most common attributes and should not dictate your choices when dating or loving someone. As the great late Robin Williams would put it, unless they set your soul on fire every morning when you see them, it isn\u2019t loved. And that soul fire has to be the main criterion.<\/p>\n
