Is it normal to calculate possible relationships like this?

When I spot a girl I like the look of (i.e. reasonably pretty, doesn't hang out with other boys, seems mature), my mind automatically runs our hypothetical relationship through a series of synthetic tests. There are more than these, but some recurring ones are presenting her to my parents, meeting her parents, getting married, moving into our first home together, arguing (or rather coping with disagreements), raising a child, and getting old together. I can do this in the blink of an eye, and it helps me to assess whether my initial interest in the girl is worth pursuing. Also, I don't fantasize sexually about her, since doing so would feel dirty and disrespectful.

Does this 'benchmarking' system seem weird, and can anyone relate to it?

    How the fuck is fantasizing disrespectful?

    I'm thinking that when you have actually been with a few women, you might not need all that mental crap to determine if they might make a good mate. Anyway, not every woman you have sex with must be a potential mate. Some can be casual affairs that mommy and daddy don't need to know about. Really!

    I do this as well, but not to this degree in an instant, It would take a few weeks of talking to her before my mind began to wander that far.
