Couples in the dating game seem to have a few things in common, and it is often nervousness that is their dominant feeling when they first meet. Getting to know each other is an important part of their activities, but they are not always relaxed as they explore each other's lives. Their feelings can be close to the surface when it comes to the other person, and only a feeling of being attracted might be what keeps them going out. Getting comfortable together takes time, but they can reach that state if they work at making it easy for each other.

Longevity in a relationship is often dependent upon being easy around the other person, so it pays for each of them to do their best to find common ground. For those who have a hobby or interest they share, the two of them might be able to relax when they are together faster than couples without that bridge. Being with friends and family members too soon can take away their confidence, so remaining isolated is another way for couples to find their comfort zone.
