Let's get it straight, physical intimacy is a personal choice. If person might not have dated for a while, could be reluctant to intimacy with new partner. A few could have sex during initial months of dating. Even after marriage some might nor feel like having sex despite the commitment. In any of the cases, it is important to listen what heart wants and how comfortable you are with the partner. There are no rules when it comes to dating and love and similarly there is no right time to initiate physical intimacy with your partner. It should happen when both of you consent to it comfortably. How this comfort comes? Is it necessary to wait until ready? Or Just give in because partner wants it? How to chose when you are ready? When to say no to sex in relationship?
All these answers lies when you are in situation of getting intimate. Figure out, reflect on yourself the feelings that hit during the moment. If you don't want it, the touch will be bland. Stop there, it is too soon. In case, the touch is likeable, but have some doubts, convey to the partner. If there is constant urge of having even the relationship span be short, the person need to evaluate expectation from the relationship, convey to partner and come on same page. So it is not too soon. Overall, acknowledge what you feel, and accordingly.
The whole comfort thing take time. Physical intimacy reveals a lot of vulnerabilities and insecurities of a person. Sometimes, it is hard to get intimate with current partner because of the past experiences. Being vulnerable or insecure in front of someone with whom comfort is till in process, intimacy will take time. For them, even simple touches and brushing of skin is a lot to ask for. In such times, people feel a pressure of deciding what they want right away with the fear of being judged. So, it is better that you go with your own pace. A pace that does not feel like a compromise to gain the connection or makes you feel like that physical connection is necessary. You should consent, you should be comfortable and ready to share that side of your with your partner before having sex.
The society will tell you a lot of things and rules on sex. Those are absurd assumptions that needs to be carefully judged. Whether you have sex on your first date or first anniversary or after marriage, it should not be influenced by outside forces and should be your and your partner's decision solely. So basically, there is no time too soon or too late to have sex. Just go for your feelings!
