Hi Sheepingly- It may be that the initial phase of "rapture" dissipates and the person has no real knowledge of what true intimacy involves. Even those who are in what they call a "relationship" are actually in an "entanglement" in disguise. When a bond occurs, with demonstrated sacrifice, compassion, caring, genuine listening and dialogue, then the roots of a partnership or commitment are born. Unfortunately, there are many who are not mature enough (at any age) to engage in or sustain this. This can be overcome, with a teacher or mentor, or a good model. Counseling may also help one is is fearful, foolish, greedy, selfish, or due to past trauma, has been unable to attach appropriately to another. I hope this helps answer this excellent and very complex issue you have raised.

I think the same is true in all relationships, romantic or otherwise. Sometimes the more you get to know someone, the more you want to know..other times the more you get to know someone, the less you want to know and begin to pull back. :)
