The way I feel it:

Sex and romance enhance the feeling of love for each other. That feeling causes us to want to confide in each other and tell each other all kinds of things which would normally not be said. But that doesn't mean they're not true, or that they're not always there.
It's like the intimacy gives oppertunity to share those thoughts and feelings, it does not create them.

If your relationship feels better since you're dating, and she feels the same, then there's no worry right? The only weak thing I can imagine about it is: the more intimate you are, the more vulnerable you are to being hurt by the other. This is perceived by some people as dangerous and they have an (un)conscious barrier for intimacy because of that.

Is this anything like you are experiencing? Or am I missing the point here?
