I don't believe there is a precise answer to this question. I believe that sometimes is not a matter of time, or how many dates the couple have had. However, I do believe that it is a matter of commitment and trust, and these two do take some time to build up in a relationship. For some, it may take until marriage and for others it may not. I think it's a pretty ridiculous view to think that "you missed the boat" if there was no sexual activity on a third date, or in the fourth one, or in the twentieth one. There is no boat to miss, and if you do "miss" it, then it's probably not the best boat for you to take. I believe I have definitely ended up in the "friendship zone" at least once, but I would not go as far as saying that it would be impossible to make a move; unless the other person already has a partner, I believe there is always a possibility to make a move and just take the risk.
