These Personalities Are The Perfect Match For Empaths

Type 1: The Intellectual

Having an intellectual around, as an empath, means you always have someone who can help ground you when things get intense. Intellectual types tend not to immediately trust their gut reactions to things, instead wanting to break them down and analyze each section of the situation slowly. They put logic first, not their emotions, meaning they can make more thought-out, rational decisions.

The right intellectual wouldn't shoot down their empath partner's feelings but instead, help them calm those feelings down so no rash decisions are made.

Dateable Distance

That being said, no partner type is without their issues. The intellectual is often slower to participate in more intimate actions, like flirting or other lighthearted shows of affection. This may bother some empaths, but others may find it a bit freeing to not be as smothered while still feeling the love their partner has for them.

If you're an empath in a relationship with an intellectual, remember that you'll have to be very open about asking for help and discussing issues, keep those communication channels wide open. Your partner won't be able to read the room quite like you can, and as such, won't sense problems as quickly when they arise. It'll be up to you to prevent yourself from becoming too worked up about a problem before your partner has even noticed it's there.

Type 2: The Rock

The rock personality is characterized by being the strong, silent type. They're reliable, always there when you need them, and happy to share the burdens of whatever you may be struggling with. They want to be that anchor for you, that person you can return home to and know you'll have a comforting pair of arms waiting to hold you once you do.

They tend not to get alarmed or upset easily, which is a great counterweight to an empath's heightened feelings and emotional outbursts. They provide a consistent, calm environment, perfect for an empath who values routine.

A Tough Nut To Crack

However, the rock type also tends to be a bit closed off—especially in the early stages of a relationship. It will be up to the empath to slowly chip at the rock's outer layers before a crack finally forms and they get to see what lies inside. It will be a slow process, even frustrating at times, but it will be well worth it once they trust you enough to let you in.

Things to remember when dating a rock type is that they need to be reminded of their virtues. Remind them often how grateful you are for them, highlight their best qualities, and let them know what it is you love about them. This will also get them to soften up and maybe even mirror the behavior, something rock types ought to do.

You may have to request affection from them as they're sometimes a little obtuse about when to express affection themselves, but once they know how much you want it, they'll be happy to share "I love you"s often.

Type 3: The Fellow Empath

That's right! Another one of the best personality types for an empath is another empath. Empaths are kind but also extremely passionate, providing some excitement and fire to the relationship. Of course, they feel their partner's emotions very strongly, meaning neither party will have to do much in the way of explaining themselves as the other will know when something's up right away. This does make for extremely open avenues for communication, though, which takes away a lot of worry regarding secrets.

That all being said, it's also easy for two empaths to overwhelm each other, entering a feedback loop of intense emotions that cause the other to crumble as you do. To date another empath as an empath yourself, you'll both need to already have an arsenal of grounding methods and the ability to step away when things are getting stressful.

Mandated Time Apart

Two empaths together might also struggle when setting boundaries, as that's tough for empaths in general. Their overbearing need to help others often trumps their need for space, and before they've even realized it, they've burnt themselves out and are now in a rut.

Dating another empath means you'll have to learn when you've had enough mentally and need some time alone to decompress. Needing time alone isn't a bad thing, and it's something your partner should be able to understand, given they can get to that same point of frustration. You don't want to aggravate any negative emotions just as much as they don't.

Keeping Yourself Sane

A dual empath relationship can be challenging but immensely rewarding too. Not only will you develop an extremely deep, understanding bond on both a romantic and platonic level with one another, but you'll also have someone who understands how your mind works and the struggles empaths face.

To keep the peace and foster a positive empath-empath relationship, take some time away from each other every day. Practice a solo hobby, go for a walk, whatever helps release some of the daily stressors so you're not bringing them to your partner. For things to do together, try incorporating some daily mindfulness activities like meditation into your routine. This will help forge a spiritual connection while also helping you both keep your sensitivities more in check.

Your Truest Desires

Now, this doesn't mean that all of these personality types are perfect for every single empath. You also have to factor personal taste into your search. After all, you don't want to force yourself into a relationship with someone you find uninteresting or unattractive just because you think they'd be a good balance to your empath sensibilities.
