I'm not sure what others think about this, but at this point, wouldn't a trip together somewhere be an interesting way to get to see the other person out of the normal element and environment? Like a week getaway to a resort or whatever else.
I feel like you guys have gotten into a comfortable ritual and maybe it's time to dust up a few things and see how things unfold. Maybe it will bring more clarity about the other person and see how they handle themselves in different settings.
You always wanted someone with a bit of an edge. Why don't you both go and so something with a bit of an edge to it and see how it goes?
I'm just sayin'. Maybe I am completely off-base here but injecting some more fun and uncertainty might actually be good.
