Dude, the emoticon was supposed to indicate a joke.

I see what you're saying. It's my opinion and experience that for healthier long-term relationship potential, it's best to wait a while. That may or may not work for other people, depending on what they want, what their experiences have been, so on and so forth and yadda yadda. Waiting does, however, prove at least a modicum of respect for the other party involved (being translated as in: not in it purely for the sex), so that is what gets the high fives from me.
