It's something a lot of people fear in relationships. Hitting that point where there are awkward silences, and time together becomes routine. I find that in order to avoid it, people try to keep from building a friendship with partners. The less they know, the less they can relax and just fall into that comfortable lull, depending on passion and superficial attraction.
I hate feeling that way with people. I crave that comfortable feeling with people. When we can lay on a couch naked giggling over the stupidest things, eating takeout, and playing video games, I am the happiest with a partner. Those times that absolutely would not occur unless you'd spent enough time to just build that trust and connection with someone.
When sex isn't the only thing that makes you feel fulfilled with someone, but those little moments as well. At the same time, there is that knowing when it comes to sex. How to tell your partner's interest, and feeling safe in expressing it. Knowing what they enjoy, or what they need.
The people who I become comfortable with wind up being way more attractive to me than anyone new. I'll never understand why people wouldn't want to feel all that with someone, or encourage hitting that point.
