23M in New Relationship With 21F, But After 2 Months We Haven't Done More Than Kiss/Cuddle.

tl;dr - 2 Months into new relationship without sexual intimacy.

I 23M recently started a relationship with 21F. We're doing all the usual relationship stuff, and as far as I can tell, we vibe really well. When I'm around she's really attentive, and we have good banter together. I don't see her everyday, probably 3 or 4 times a week, and when I do, I usually stop over. The only thing missing so far, for me at least, is the sexual intimacy.

In the 2 months we've been together there has been one reason or another why it couldn't happen. When we first got together she was on her period, then because she started taking meds that she was worried would affect her birth control, and most recently because she has back pain.

Any of these things individually, or even paired, I'd think nothing of it. Life happens. I don't want to have sex with someone who isn't 100% comfortable with it. There's a no-no word for that. But with the recency of the start of the relationship, I guess I'm worried I'm being taken advantage of while there's no genuine interest for more on her side.

I've only had the one serious relationship before this (4 years) so I don't have a ton of experience beyond how my ex was, where even in our quieter spells we didn't go this long between.

I know she's been active in the recent past before our relationship (she told me), so its not like I've accidently ended up with someone saving themselves for marriage, or 'the right guy'.

But right now, this relationship feels more like I have friend who I occasionally stay over and cuddle with, than having a girlfriend.

Is this just something that happens sometimes in relationships, and its unfortunate timing, or something else?
