This boils down to being unable to accurately predict your future preferences and perspective.
My concern is, by the time I actually really want it, I might be over the hill, and wish I'd invested more in my "relationship future" while younger.
Sounds like FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out.
Do not fear that. That is fear for the sake of fear.
Best advice (quoting Issaac Jordan):
It's all about keeping your options open.
If you have game, resources and at least some energy - you will probably do good even late in life.
don't do things out of fear.
My thoughts on "Investing in relationship future":
1. Experience LTR to see how it works, if you want. The forum is loaded with LTR advice.
If so - quality girls only.
2. Ask yourself once in a while: "What do I want? Is it good for me? Why?"
This will help you form your thoughts and feelings on the subject.
3. Try being around babies for a few hours (familiy?). see how it works out for you. If you get married this will happen.
