This seems to be emblematic of the worries the people here have. It is wonderful she meets your prerequisites. I, personally, don't have any. I will meet anyone. So I guess your fiancé meets mine as well. This is a perfect place to begin a relationship. You know, before the word "Hello".
But as the relationship develops, you have to have higher standards. Perhaps you don't kiss a girl you haven't set the date for, but surely you meet a lot of people (actually, the attitude of not dating someone you wouldn't marry is something I have heard before. Let me tell you right now that requiring that will emotionally stunt your attachment to other people. You can't set a date and start talking to caterers before the first kiss). And some of the people you meet aren't ever going to be any more than friends. And some of the people who are more than friends will only be best friends and "adoptive" family. I have plenty of these. And the tiers go all the way up. The key is to find the people that make your life the best it can be. And statistically speaking, you have not met the best girl in the world for you. Almost no one ever does. She makes you happy, and a lot can be said about that. But you have to realize there are gradients. Those are there to make sure we don't go too far with people we aren't meant to be with. And perhaps I depart from the mainstream wisdom of the Lothario culture here, but you can't go all the way with someone who isn't _the_ one, regardless of what all the way means to you and her. I am talking about someone who is so right for you that even your hesitant acknowledgements of her flaws are just a ruse and you can't see anything wrong with her.
Now, obviously I may disagree about a couple things. But that isn't what you are asking. You want to know if you are going too fast. The answer is _ALWAYS_ "If you had to ask." Would you feel right being intimate with someone who you have only known for a while, and are already having stray doubts about?
I hope this helps
