I daydream about marrying my girlfriend of one month.

I've never been one for weddings. Or the idea of marriage in general. In fact, before I met her, I thought the idea of romance and relationships was pretty stupid. But she's turned me into a mushy, tender-hearted, chick-flick sympathizer.

Background: I'm 19, she's 25. We met through a mutual friend. I had a massive crush on her for months, but I thought the age difference effectively ruined any chance I had with her. Turns out she was also feeling it. We were friends for about six months time, and she made the first move. She was my first kiss, first girlfriend, first... Well, everything else.

We have been together for a month and a half now, and I already catch myself lost in thoughts of marrying her. She's the kind of girl to have a wedding Pinterest board that she regularly updates, but up until now I always imagined myself living alone (but happily, and maybe with some dogs).

My question is: is this normal? My worst case scenario is finding out that I'm actually super desperate and rushing into things with her. I mean, I know I'm not exactly running out to buy a ring, but isn't one month a little too soon to be thinking about spending the rest of my life with her?

    No matter what you think you should do, I would advise against saying anything to her about marriage until she brings up the subject. I'd bet you would drive her away. She's not single at 25 by accident.

    Just thought I'd update this here cause why the fuck not. It's been six months and I'm still head over heels like we never left the honeymoon phase. She brought up the topic last night. (Nothing too serious, just chit chat about our ideal weddings and such, the where, the when). It was honestly so cute seeing her talk about her dream wedding and getting excited about flowers and things. I put in a few ideas of my own, but I think if (when?) the time comes, she'll know a lot more than I will. It's almost a little overhwelming now that I feel like she's just as much in this for the long haul as I am, but maybe I'm still just being optimistic.

    Thanks guys :) I'll save the serious stuff for when she's ready. She likes that I've become a total hopeless romantic around her, but I hope that this ridiculous feeling lasts long enough until we're actually ready to think about the future. Who knows? Maybe she already thinks about the same thing. But a guy can only hope right? (Forgive my rambling. I'm in love. -_-)

    It's normal to fantasize about it. It sounds like you know you're still young, and you know you haven't dated her for long to even act on it and get married, so you're fine.
