Well, it means that the work phase of the relationship has begun, if you care enough to work at it.
This happens to every relationship eventually. If both parties are dedicated, you can make more of it. Or one can choose to simply jump from relationship to relationship, thinking that it's over once "that feeling" is gone. Of course, sometimes it really is over, but I happen to think that's mainly when both folks don't have the same level of dedication to maintaining the relationship. And you know, sometimes there's a reason for that.
Of course it's better to work at the relationship before this happens, but it's an easy thing to miss/take for granted.
