When it comes to finding a bae, people can be easily sorted into two categories: those who are looking for someone to go the distance with and those with more fleeting romantic tendencies. You, however, proudly and unapologetically fall into the former category – otherwise known as the relationship type. Some experts believe this is a great time to be a single person, but not you. Not even professional, statistically-backed assessments on the benefits of singledom can put a damper on your relationship-centric lifestyle. You simply aren’t content with liking pics of all your Instagram crushes and scrolling past potential relationship prospects. You have your keen, love-seeking sights set on finding a real-life partner who you can make a permanent part of your world.
Later for the single life! Here are seven telltale signs that you are the relationship type.
That you blast all day every day to the dismay of anyone heartbroken individual who has the misfortune of crossing your path.

The best tune to describe your attitude towards relationships is “Sex Ain’t Better Than Love.” No-strings-attached sex doesn’t appeal to you, and you’d rather roll solo than engage in the emotional messiness of a situationship. In short, you have to be intimate with someone on all levels in order to get physical, which means sex without a mutually agreed upon romantic commitment is a no-go.

Instead of becoming a Bitter Betty on the heels of your last awful relationship(s), you somehow manage to avoid morphing into the jaded, anti-relationship type who wholeheartedly believes no other human being is incapable of ruining your good credit, breaking your heart and stealing your faith in true love.
