We all wish it could be different, but breakups are rarely painless. Whether it's the kids, money, future plans or just anger, there's almost always something to fight over. In a word: drama. If you follow the rollercoaster ride that is Hollywood relationships, you're sure to have realized that celebrity splits are the biggest and most dramatic splits around. Cupid took a look at some of the worst celebrity divorces in recent years to see what practical lessons could be learned from the wreckage:

1. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries: No discussion of celebrity breakups would be complete without a look at Kim Kardashian's legendary split with Kris Humphries following a 72-day marriage. The two only dated for six months before Humphries proposed, and they never settled on plans for life after the wedding. Both accused the other of using their relationship as a money-making scheme. Financial issues aside, it's this pair's insistence on keeping themselves in

Picture this: you're on a date and your potential partner walks in 30 minutes late. Plus, they're a sloppy, sweaty mess. As soon as you sit down, they make sure you're paying for your own meal and begin to check out the server, setting off all the red flags that romance isn't going to blossom. It's enough to make you dread the rest of the night if you haven't already bolted out of the restaurant. However difficult it might seem, there are better ways to handle situations like this. Check out these tips to leave that date from hell-with class:

1. Try a do-over: The "date from hell" might not be a bad person; maybe they're just nervous. Stop them mid-idiot and politely tell them that they're not currently coming across as a potential partner, but you'd like to try again. Set a date for a fresh beginning, and see what happens then.

2. Ask for the bill: Getting the check early is a clear sign that your date-and any sign of a relationship-is over. Doing

Once you're in a relationship, it can be hard to tell if you and your partner are on the same page as far as your wants and needs for the future. You may question the strength of his feelings toward you, even if he's quick to say, "I love you." It's one thing to take a first date and move it into a relationship, but how do you know when your partner is ready to move even further forward?

As a woman, you most likely want more time and more involvement from your mate. You're ready for a commitment, whether that means moving in together or perhaps marriage. Regardless, the bottom line is that your relationship now comes with a view to the future as opposed to plodding along day-by-day. It's time to connect in a way that you can't put into words, so here are three ways to know he really is "all that into you":

You're sure to have a lot of troubling questions before any first date. What should you wear? What will you say? Will you make a good first impression? However, when you're set up on a date with someone you've never met before, new questions about your mysterious potential partner are added to the mix. What will they look like? What will their personality be like? As a result, blind dates can be both the most exciting and the most nerve-wracking romantic experiences of all. Take a deep breath, count back from ten and read our tips on how to stay calm before a blind date:

So you've met this great man who seems like a lot of fun, but you can't help having doubts. "God, I hope that this guy is a man and not the dreaded man-boy," you think to yourself. You know how man-boys are: they're the guys who show up on dates, dressed a little on the boyish side. Maybe he wore jeans that were a tad outdated. Maybe he sported a pair of running shoes on his feet. Or perhaps he actually wore a ball cap on a lunch date. It's always fun at first, but if you overlook it, you'll find that a month into the relationship, he's still drinking with buddies every Saturday night instead of spending time being romantic with you. No one wants to end up there, so here are some ways to tell you're dating a man-boy:

Let's be honest: remaining friends with your ex usually doesn't work. It might sound like a good idea in the beginning, especially if your relationship ended amicably. However, a few months later, you're sure to find yourself either pining away for them when they only see you as a friend or participating in late night hook-ups while one or both of you are dating someone else. To remind us about these consequences, here are Cupid's top five reasons why being friends with your ex isn't such a great idea:
