Since so many people *Hook Up* so to speak via the Internet I think after 8 months, whatever the length of Internet dating is many will have sex upon meeting, since they have been dating via cyberspace, at least from what I hear from people doing this.
I think when you met someone the Old Fashioned way is person for the first time, you waited for a time that you got to know each other..
If both met and were sauced anything is possible! LOL...
Are you speaking from experience, Laney? ;-)
Well, years ago, before I met my wife. . .in fact, before the widespread use of the Net. . . I met a woman on one of the RelayNet echoes (you'd read and post messages on a local BBS, then ~once a day, they'd connect to a "hub" system, get new messages and send messages posted there. . . sort of a primitive version of a modern-day newsserver. . .).
We corresponded for months, eventually moved to phone calls, and eventually got together for a few months time. We'd "known" each other for almost a year when we finally met face to face. . . and it was STILL several weeks before we finally slept together. . . . .
