Almost every relationship starts off the same. Hopeful, romantic, and overly exciting. But as the time begins to pass, boredom becomes your new companion. Your classic date nights are anything but exciting, and texting them back starts to become a chore.

Summer Finn faced all of these groundbreaking issues when she slowly began losing interest in Tom, her fling. Unfortunately, in what seems to be almost all of my past love flings, I can relate to Tom. Things would be going great and suddenly, they'd come to an abrupt ending, with no adequate reasoning. Here are 12 times "500 Days of Summer" described my relationship life, ever so perfectly.

1. The initial infatuation.

Anything that they say or do, you find absolutely adorable. They could sing in the elevator, laughing loudly and obnoxiously, even take a crap with the door open. Anything during these first couple months is totally acceptable.

2. The first red flag.

There it is -- that first flag is up and thrown. Should we ignore it, or walk away now? Yeah, I think I'm just going to ignore it. Moving on.

3. You start to get comfortable.

I'm talking the walk around pant-less, meet their Mom, and yell "penis!" in the park type of stuff. There must be some depth to this relationship.

4. The second red flag is thrown.

OK, on the real -- maybe I am wasting my time. Who throws two red flags within a few months time? A quitter does, that's who.

5. You start to fall in love, regardless of the flags.

You start to analyze your relationship and all of the fun times that you've shared. It just doesn't make any sense to throw in the towel now, you're in too deep.

6. Things are looking up.

You're both happy, everyone's happy. Life is good, things are fine. Right?

7. They pull a fast one on you.

Uh, I hate to be that guy, right now, but I've got a crap ton of friends and, uh, we don't do the stuff that we do -- so ,no, I'd say we're not friends.

8. Post break up depression kicks in.

Just make sure it's your plates that you're breaking, not your mother's.

9. You ask them what went wrong.

They don't really have much to say. They pull some crap story that they probably made up in the bathroom mirror before you came over.

10. You try your best to heal.

Creative outlets have always been my thing.

11. You finally accept that it's time to move on.

This is definitely the most dreadful stage of them all, but it gets better -- I promise.

12. You let them go.

Until next autumn.
