New People Must MEET… 50+ Age group

So, we find someone interesting, not TOO far away, we think we might have a chance, so we start corresponding.
It goes pretty well, interest and hopefulness are found to be mutual… so…
We need to meet, so we can find out what's real between us live. It's the only way to see if something special starts to bubble up.
Often, when two people, new to each other meet, they can be so polite and civil that nothing happens.
First, because they just met and no one approves, accepts, or dares to act familiar, regardless of how any amount of on-line conversation has gone.
Second, people just assume that proper familiarity must take two or three years to develop.
Third, if either person were to at any time act "too" familiar, flirty, or intimate, no matter how natural it felt to the one, it would most likely cause an embarrassing rejection and shaming scene from the other.
However, if the visit were DESIGNED to continue for several hours AND involve some polarizing hardship or struggle (perhaps fatigue, sleep deprivation, or... I wonder... is that what inebriation is really for?), it is possible that the more open personalities might be released and shared.
Just thinking...

A few minutes pass by…

Still thinking...
On the other hand, it COULD be that most people actually EXPECT the more natural, affection-craving, friendly, personality to come out, but what they really WANT to see demonstrated and sustained for at LEAST several hours, IS the cold, aloof, separate, dignified, and highly civil personality, because THAT is what SOCIETY values more, just as in church, proper politics, and professionalism.
Ahhh! I may have learned something here...

Is this TRUE???

Then, What does it MEAN?
