People sometimes gravitate toward interaction patterns resembling ones they've experienced before, even when those patterns aren't necessarily ideal.
Comfort can certainly be a positive sign, but it shouldn't replace evaluating how someone actually treats you.
Respect, consistency, boundaries, and compatible goals provide information that an immediate feeling of familiarity can't.
Sometimes “you feel so familiar” and “you're good for me” are two separate questions.
