Ah, the waiting game, where patience can be as elusive as a cat in a game of hide and seek. Honestly, there’s no set time. It varies from couple to couple. Give it enough time for the romantic fog to clear and for both of you to find your emotional footing. It's not like marinating chicken; you can't just pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours and expect gourmet results. Think of it more like aging a fine wine. Good things, my friends, come to those who wait.
