Well here's the thing, there is a reason Ra chose sexual imagery to symbolize the connection between conscious and unconscious, and that's because making that contact with intelligent infinity is directly analogous to sex. The potent masculine will of the conscious mind penetrating the veil of the receptive and nurturing feminine unconscious.
You can get to know someone, but if you are after a sexual relationship you will relate to them differently then the rest of your friends. You can make friends with your unconscious mind and it might share some insights, intuitions, etc. but both sides of your mind will still remain essentially separated. The other option is to commit to the relationship, to court the maiden, with the goal of achieving what the ancients called Heiros Gamos, sacred marriage, where the two halves are united in a lasting union and common purpose (The Lovers archetype in the tarot). The nature of this relationship is determined by the polarity of the adept (Ra's whole maiden/prostitute thing).
