Given her prior relationships (that we know of), and given that she is in college, that doesn't seems unlikely at all. Not a community well-known for taking it slow.
Also, if you are already insecure about your date, every little setback seems like the end of the world.
(and there where a few, even before she declined to come inside)

Right up to the point where my wife does something to said butt that causes pain, discomfort and embarassment.
Of course that could prove challenging, Dora being a comic character and all.

I think she simply has no idea how to measure "success", because this all new territory for her.

Must be as that is a rather poor and awful measure of success. The "she didn't come in for a possible roll in the hay" on the first night. Then again, there's that age and maturity disparity I've always noted between the two of them. And that Tai probably only has had rolls in the hay. It hasn't reared itself while they're together yet.
If Tai screws it up at all, it will be because she wants to go fast, gets impatient, or....dare I say it. Will Jeph give Bailey an epiphany and she suddenly wants monogamy as well? Wouldn't that be a train wreck.
If she's going to pester to the about such non-issues, she really needs to make close friends with someone else for advice in the future.

Something I noticed - Dora got away from butt-grabbing for quite some time in the strip.
Boxilar:
Well, it's been firmly established that Marten is okay with Tai and Dora dating. And beyond some mild anoyance that Tai is coming to him for advice about his ex, he seems to be okay with giving Tai the owners manual. The real potential issues now are when Dora finds out about Tai going to Marten for advice about her. She might even be okay with it, but it will lead to questions as to why Tai went to Marten and not another friend. And if Tai gives her the same answer she gave Marten, well, it has the potential to set off Dora's issues. Dora obsessed over a couple of girls Marten dated back in High School that he "still had feelings for". Therapy or not, dealing with her issues or not, I have trouble seeing Dora not reacting badly to the knowledge that Tai has four or five "exes" she can't really talk to any more. Plus there was the physics professor she had at least a casual relationship with. And who ever else was in her circle of bang buddies that we don't know about. All of which were recent. (How recent is up for debate, given in universe time is an unknown to us.)
And as Mad points out, there is always Bailey.

Maybe she was begining to distance herself in the relationship when she "sensed" things going pear shaped.
