And most of the people I meet have already let me in as much as they're going to, so there's not an increase in intimacy.
Perhaps the goal would be, then, to get close enough to them so that they may open up? And maybe when they do, you can find something for you two to focus on, some goal that you didn't know that you shared.
I think that a relationship isn't so much a path as it is a huge field to explore, and when you explore, you find things. Maybe the part of the relationship that you feel is stagnating is actually the part where you've finished finding all of the treasures in the field, and now you have to reap their benefits. Or maybe there's something you need that you haven't found yet. So not comparing this to Okami what are you talking about
While it is gratifying to have relationships that change you and are profound, not all relationships will be like this, because many people do not change and do not attempt to be or look for profound... ness. (I'm not saying that the people with whom you seek to deepen relationships with are shallow, but maybe you need to... make them deeper!)
