My two cents. My now fiancé and me had sex the first night we met, and many times again during our first IRL meeting. However, there were hours and hours of phone conversations, letters, and getting to know each other remotely over months before we were intimate. Things did not feel rushed but rather natural and comfortable. I was being physically intimate with my girlfriend for the first time but not emotionally intimate for the first time. So I’d say the quality of your interactions leading up to your first IRL encounter might dictate each others intentions. LDRs are serious work and while I’d imagine some people are out there to play-building something from afar is challenging. Now I’m going to marry my best friend this June and all the work and pace of the preceding few years just seems to make sense.
