(19M) Relationship/Dating Advice? Becoming A Young Future Parent

For as long as I remember I've always wanted to become a young father whether if it’s now or by the time I’m 24/25. I' personally wouldn't want kinds in my late 20s/early 30s.

And why not? I mean your brain doesn't even fully develop till your mid 20s and in this day and age, many youngsters only get financially stable in their late 20s to early 30s. Being a young parent these days means usually mid to late 20s since the average age for parents is around 29-31 for the first child in most Western countries.

However my problem is time and meeting the right woman that would be with me till my inevitable death.

That's another reason why waiting is beneficial. You're still growing up and getting to know yourself. The honeymoon period lasts over 2 years as well. Hence, why not date around to see what you want, then date someone specific for a few years, move in and settle down then? Don't rush, take your time, especially if you want your marriage to last. Look at statistics. Couples who get married after 25 are more likely to stay together.
