Relationships are not always a walk in the park, sometimes they take a lot of work. Who better to explain the stages of a relationship than Winston Bishop.

As a man who Reagan dubbed someone who, "has been dumped a lot," he has been through more relationships than anyone. So head his advice if you want to stay alive in the relationship game.

1. The ttraction

There's the first time you see someone really cute. Then, while staring at them, they look in your general direction, so your hands have a mind of their own.

2. Your first attempt at flirting

You finally work up the courage to talk to that special person, but have no idea what to say so you blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.

3. The moment they reciprocate the same feelings

It's the feeling when you know your plan has worked out and now it is your time to shine.

4. When you're in the honeymoon phase and you want all of the social media to know it

The days where everything is new and perfect; you openly tweet each other love songs, take millions of Snapchats and Instagram photos, and are full of romance.

5. When you can no longer control your feelings

We have all been there, you've been dating this person for a while and all of a sudden you have fallen for them HARD.

6. That first fight over something stupid

You are mad for a few days and then set aside your differences and go back to being the happy couple.

7. The "Relationship Gut"

The day your significant other tells you "hey...those pants are fitting you a bit tight aren't they." When you are in a relationship you will kind of let yourself go, especially when you think to yourself, "I don't need to keep up my appearance, I don't have anyone to please." So just beware or getting the relationship fifteen.

8. You become inseparable

You split meals together, go to the movies and family parties together, and you finally feel like you can be yourself around someone.

9. The work

Keeping him/her happy becomes hard work, while balancing school and jobs and everything else in the world. Stress leads to more fights, make up's lead to more dates and less money in your pocket. Keeping the relationship alive becomes an everyday chore.

10. The reward

However, the benefit of having that one special person in your life outweighs all the troubles and hardships, because at the end of the day you know they are always going to be there for you.
