Sometimes it's choosing to have a long-distance romance or moving into your significant others' house way before either of you are ready.Thankfully, there are movies to give us at least a little hint at what not to do when dating someone. Take "Friends With Kids," which hits theaters this Friday. The movie, starring Jennifer Westfeldt, Adam Scott, Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig, follows two friends who decide to have a baby together without getting married...or even dating.

-
'Notting Hill'
There are downsides to dating one of the most famous women in the world. After Will (Hugh Grant) brags to a friend about his romance with actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), paparazzi show up unannounced at their door while Anna is visiting -- something she not too happy about. -
'When Harry Met Sally'
After a huge buildup, friends Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) finally -- and somewhat unexpectedly -- sleep together. However, the whole experience leaves Harry feeling awkward, and he ends up leaving the next morning without saying goodbye. -
'Mickey Blue Eyes'
Michael (Hugh Grant) promises to his fiance, Gina (Jeanne Tripplehorn), that he wouldn't get involved with her family, most of whom are in the mafia. However, Michael ends up lying to her when he accidentally gets mixed up with Gina's mob boss father. -
'Back to the Future Part II'
There's nothing good about bringing your girlfriend (Jennifer, played by Elizabeth Shue) to the future to save the children you haven't had yet, then leaving her passed out in an alley. Great scott, Michael J. Fox! What were you thinking? -
'Raiders of the Lost Ark'
Marion (Karen Allen) is obviously the adventurous type. However, going on an adventure with ex-lover Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) to recover the Ark of the Covenant leads to her being chased by Nazis and thrown in a cave full of snakes. Not exactly the things that help mend a relationship. -
'Manhattan'
Woody Allen makes two awful relationship decisions in this movie. One is dating a 17-year-old girl (his character, Isaac, is 42 in the film). Second is going out with Mary (Diane Keaton) right after she breaks up with his best friend, Yale (Michael Murphy). Not surprisingly, things soon turn rotten between the both of them when Mary decides to leave Isaac and start dating Yale again. -
'Like Crazy'
Felicity Jones plays Anna, a British exchange student who falls in love with an American named Jacob (Anton Yelchin). However, when Anna's visa is set to expire, she somewhat stupidly doesn't renew it. She's then forced to go back to England, thereby putting a huge strain on herself and Jacob. -
'Road Trip'
Josh is in a long distance relationship with his high-school sweetheart Tiffany. However, he soon falls for another girl, makes a sex tape with her, then inadvertently sends it to his girlfriend. Luckily, she ends up never seeing the tape and their relationship ends in a mutual breakup, but not before Josh and his friends take a wild road trip to get the tape before Tiffany does. On the way, their car explodes, they steal a bus from a school for the blind and run into a very creepy elderly gentleman they probably wish they hadn't met. -
'Date Night'
Phil and Claire Foster (Steve Carell and Tina Fey) decide to go to a fancy restaurant. Sure, it seems like a nice idea, until they take another person's reservations and end up getting confused for someone who ripped off a mob boss. The decision leads to them being held at gunpoint. Perhaps they should have ordered in, instead? -
'Scream'
In Wes Craven's 1996 horror film, Rose McGowan's character, Tatum, is dating Matthew Lillard's character, Stu. Hey Tatum, know that serial killer everyone in town is freaking out about? It's your boyfriend.
