That is not true, from my own personal experience. I was very interested in a person as an intimate partner, many years ago, but was still healing from a difficult break-up when we developed a strong interest in each other. However, he did not like being told that I "wasn't ready," (even though I liked him very much at the time, simply was not in the mood for a rebound), and within a month or so, he had made moves on another girl and ended up marrying her a few years later (and then divorcing, a few more years down the road). He told me once that he regretted that we never had the chance to date, but... c'est la vie. He wasn't very patient, in the end, and in the long run I think it was good that he wasn't willing to wait for me to heal up properly. At least I'm not the divorced one, now!
