I mean, observationally, the longer you go without sleeping with someone the lower the odds are that you ever will. You gotta understand that from their perspective, they’d rather ultimately get rejected sooner than later or it’ll feel like getting strung along. Plus the sooner they shoot their shot the less likely that is to begin with. Guys like sex and they pursue it as a goal. Sorry, but that’s not going anywhere and you can’t just will them into forgetting it

Sex is the only real difference between a friendship and a relationship. You can deny it but it’s true. so I think it’s fine to bring it up early and not waste time on something that might not work
