At either 18 or 24 I would just enjoy the person for the moment and not worry about the future.
At that age I was devoted to working, with a secondary interest in finishing school and getting some financial security and appropriate housing.
Dating was a distant third priority, and the long term suitability of partners not even a concern. There is so much that can interfere with a relationship forming: moving; career, lifestyle, or family objectives developing in incompatible directions.
Personally, I think that's an age for seeing a variety of people and getting some diverse data on what people are like. I also think it is much too soon for being in love.
