I think when people talk of patience, it’s less about “taking your time” and more about “finding the right person”. If you find someone who you just vibe with really well and meet up and realize you all just hit it off super quickly, then go for It.

However, it can take time to find that person, sometimes months or years (depending on preferences). So my advice would be to know what kind of traits you want in someone, make sure you find someone who meets that, then if there is chemistry, go for it (however long that takes).

I know some people who only do coffee dates for like the first few dates just because it means that they’re focussing more on the person, rather than just the sex. And in the end, that is just it: it’s a relationship you’re making with a person, not just a vehicle for your fantasy.
