Relationships can be an interesting experience. It can also be a waste of time if one or both you are not working to be with each other and truly love each other. In this article, you will see how memes describe the stages of a relationship. Find out which stages you have reached.

Stage 1: Getting to know each other.

Getting to know each other is the easiest step of the relationship. It is like the groundbreaking ceremony. The two of you can ask each other questions by playing "21 questions" or playing "2 truths, 1 lie." Figure out the person pet peeves, favorite colors, favorite food, hobbies, and the rest of their likes and dislikes. How well you know each other sets the foundation for all the other stages of the relationship.

Stage 2: Figuring out your comfort zones

Figuring out comfort zones is correlated to getting to know each other. Typically, you would become more and more comfort as you get to know each other better. You get to know each other better as you talk and hang around each other more often. Figuring out comfort zones decreases shyness and allows you to be yourself.

Stage 3: Having the first kiss

Having the first kiss is a fun but awkward stage. Butterflies will be flying around. Each of you is trying to figure out who will make the first move. What type of kiss should you go for on the first kiss? Make sure the first kiss is a memorable one. Let it be a story that you can happily retell forever.

Stage 4: Being jealous

Being jealous can be aggravating and annoying, but it is common in relationships. You don't have to be jealous all the time, but you will become jealous at some point. Jealousy shows that you care enough to not want someone or something coming in between you and your significant other. Try your best to not become the crazy jealous type that tends to cause more harm than necessary.

Stage 5: Having the first argument

You will probably reach this stage immediately after the previous stage. Sometimes, jealousy causes arguments. The first argument shows the true character of both you. Also, it tests how well you can resolve a conflict. Don't let this first argument be the end of something that can turn out to be spectacular. At least, you understand what upsets one another.

Stage 6: Admitting your love

Girl: I love you.

Boy: No, I love you more

Girl: No, you don't because I do. I said it first.

Please remember there is a difference between "I love you" and "I'm in love with you." Admitting that you love each other is one of the later stages because it takes time to build up true love. Once it happens, your significant other and you should be more willing to work together to maintain the relationship. Love provides endurance, which will be beneficial to have during the jealousy and angry moments.

Stage 7: Being comfortable around each other

Because of the increasing love between your significant other and you, you tend to become more and more comfortable with each other. You will eat after each other. You may pop one another's pimples. You can tell the deepest and darkest secrets. Reflecting on embarrassing moments will be a common thing while you are having dinner. or watching your favorite show.

Stage 8: Meeting the parents

Meeting the parents is a gigantic step in the relationship. It expresses that I care about you so much that I value your opinions about my family and, in vice versa, my parents' opinions about you. After you meet the parents, things will start to turn up in a good way. From a guy's perspective, getting the father's approval means the most. It builds up confidence and reassures us that we are doing something right. If you have not met the parents yet, don't worry because it means you have more time to prepare for the epic meeting.

Stage 9: Expressing love in various ways

By now, you are most likely planning on being together for a very long time. To keep the relationship fresh, express your love in various ways. Create new experiences. Say "I love you" in a different form. Try to stay away from buying the same ol' basic Valentine's Day gifts (e.g. card, candy, and stuffed animal). In order words, be unique with your love. Expressing love in various ways will help you stay together for an even greater period of time.

Stage 10: Remaining in love

Stage 10 is the hardest stage of all. It is the stage that makes or breaks a relationship. Remaining in love requires endurance. You have to be constantly reminded why you are with each other.
