 No, not too young. It is quite typical of teenagers to feel and say these things.
However, you should remember that just because it feels right doesn't mean it will last forever. Some day those feelings might disappear. Love is not something ever lasting, and having a relationship means you need to work at it, both you and him. Regardless of how you both feel today, if tomorrow he treats you bad then you shouldn't be with him..

I'm 15 almost 26 too, i don't see myself staying with any boyfriends forever.But its not impossible. People fall in love all the time. People fall in love at all ages. Some may say you don't know what love is. But who ever does? I think its perfectly normal that you want to be together forever. And that you are in love. (and by the way, i don't know your relationship. So i'm not going brush it off as a crush..unlike some people on here.) However, maybe you should hold off on the future talk. Do you really wanna be tied up at 15? Don't you think your a little young to be promising to be with a guy forever? Wait a few years, then you can start talking about the future.

What I mean is, am I too young to be saying all of this?"Yes, you're far too be young to be thinking about spending the rest of your life with a puppy-love boyfriend when you're still in high school (American here). You will be a far different person in two years, far different from that in five years, far different from that in ten years.You have absolutely no way of knowing what the future holds for either of you. If either or both of you are from broken or unstable or dysfunctional homes, then I suspect you're likely seeking from each other the stability and security that your bio-parents may have denied you.

We talk about the future and I can imagine myself spending the rest of my life with him. What I mean is, am I too young to be saying all of this?

... Falling in love is a part of being human... No, you're never too young to fall in love, even small children have crushes.
If you're in love you're in love, so I don't really understand the question. Maybe you mean to ask if you are too young to have a relationship? In that case I would say you're not too young to have a relationship, as long as your parents are ok with it. If you mean to ask if you're too young to have a sexual relationship then I need to remind you that the law decides that.
