Demisexuality is characterized by the lack of sexual—sometimes physical—attraction to people you do not know or not close with. If there is no established relationship then there is no desire to have sex, kiss, etc. with the other person.
What this means is that demisexuals, while they can find people attractive if they are not close with the person or have some kind of already established relationship then the demisexual will not want to romantically pursue them.
However, a relationship with someone does not automatically mean that the demisexual will want a romantic relationship. A demisexual can have a completely platonic friendship and want nothing more.
Demisexuality does not carry a strong effect on relationships. The only major thing is that demisexuals are, for the most part, uncomfortable with physical contact and sex. So although you may have been dating a demisexual for four months, that does not mean they are at the point where they are close enough with you to want sex. Some demisexuals may never want anything more than kissing.
The best thing you can do is support your demisexual friend/partner and not pressure them into anything. Demisexuality is not choosing to "save themself" or "waiting for the right person". A demisexual cannot feel sexual attraction and want to have sex with someone. The same way a gay man cannot have romantic feelings for a woman. It is not their choice, but who they are.
