Question How long is reasonable for "getting to know you" phase?

I know the answers to this question will be as varied as there are individuals to answer it...but still, I'd like to hear everyone's own personal barometer on this one....

You've met a couple that you're both attracted to and interested in. They've seemed very flirty, friendly and interested in you since you first met them in the club, months ago. You've talked several times at the club, danced with them, emailed off and on. Then, you connect and meet them for a "date" - then another "date". Along the way, you learn they're a "friends first" couple. More emailing ensues, with lots of innuendo and downright "I want you" comments. During the time it takes for this to transpire, you learn that they're not nearly as active or experienced in the Lifestyle (sexually) as you would have thought, given the impressions you'd gotten from them since early on, and the level of their attendance and socializing at Lifestyle functions.

You're "dating" them, they're nice, there's definitely a personality/attaction connection, but you have no idea when, or if, things will actually pan out. At what point do you wonder if they're just the playful, teasing type? Also known as, the hanging-around-the-fringes type of couple? How long are you patient (or are you) with the heavy flirting, innuendo and dating? How do you take it to the next level?

Personal experiences/stories along this line appreciated, too.
