For many of us, "Little Manhattan" was the movie where we fell in love with Josh Hutcherson. With romance, awkward encounters, confusion, and anxiety mapping out the road that is first love, it gave 10-year-olds everywhere the knowledge that their fourth-grade relationships were not nearly as tough as Rosemary and Gabe's was. Turns out 11 years later this movie is still surprisingly relatable to college relationships. Here are 15 times that "Little Manhattan" perfectly described your relationship status.
1. Recently single after a bad breakup:
Maybe it was your first love or someone who you thought that you were going to marry someday, but you weren't prepared for how painful the breakup was going to be.
2. Happily single and focusing on yourself:
Maybe you know who you are and what you want, but that relationship wasn't it. Maybe you have no idea what you want, but you're going to try and figure it out. Either way, you just need some "you" time.
3. Newly dating and getting nervous for all of the right reasons:
Never in your life has holding hands been so exciting and so scary.
4. Newly dating and trying to play it cool:
Unfortunately, you're not quite managing it.
5. Changing several times getting ready for a date, getting overwhelmed, and canceling:
It looks like it's just you and me tonight, Netflix.
6. Recently single after a mutual breakup:
It doesn't feel great, but you both knew that it wasn't right.
7. Realizing that you're falling in love:
Those songs don't seem so ridiculous anymore.
8. Unsure of what you two "are:"
There are so many possible answers, but you can't bring yourself to actually ask the question.
9. Unprepared to fall for anyone:
It only seems to happen when you aren't looking for it.
10. Realizing that love is more complicated than you thought:
You were expecting flowers, sunshine, and sparkles. What is this madness?
11. Awkwardly trying to flirt with someone who doesn't know that you exist:
In the words of Neville Longbottom, "Why is it always me?"
12. You're so in love that you agree to go on irritating errands with your partner:
It's all in the name of love.
13. Reaching that level in the relationship where you don't care if you look like a dork:
Feel free to twirl around and be silly in public, your partner thinks that it's adorable and not crazy at all.
14. Waiting for a text message from someone who you're interested in and overanalyzing the situation:
Are they taking forever to text back because they're sleeping, in the shower, driving, or is it because they're ignoring you? The world may never know.
15. Things are rocky, so, instead of being mature adults, you fight like middle schoolers:
What problems were ever solved without name calling?
Whatever your relationship status is, just remember that you didn't break your arm trying to break a wooden board in karate in an attempt to win someone over.
