As a almost 50 year old heterosexual white cis man, my opinion might not matter here but as someone who is not married to his wife and mother of our children let me mansplain to you that it is not time that matters but the quality you both see I ln a relationship. Does your girlfriend want to marry? Do you live together and how does it feel? Besides butterflies in the stomach and satisfying intimacy, do you get along in your common live. Do you and does your girlfriend have space in your relationship to retreat and self-care while also allowing to spend enough time together . Can you imagine an every day live and do you believe that you can still enjoy one another even when times are rough for one of you? For me and my wife that I now live with for over 20 years, own a house together, have two kids and a dog, marriage was to binding for both of us. We found another way and we are happy. If that is different for you and your girlfriend do take that step. Time and age is not solely the deciding factor
