There's lots of time left for you to settle down. In the meantime, go out and enjoy, have fun, meet lots of girls.
Regarding your girlfriend, it might be worthwhile for you to write down all the things which indicate to you that she doesn't appreciate you, then show them to a couple of close friends, maybe even family, and get their views. They may confirm your suspicions that you're not in a good relationship, and is best to move on before you two get involved any deeper.

The grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side, so they say. You're too young to be in a committed relationship. Get out of it and start seeing other people. Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up. If you stay in this relationship, in 10 years you'll be miserable (just like everybody else in any long-term relationship), and you'll say, "Damn, I wished I'd gotten out of this relationship like EllsworthT told me. Look at all the tail I missed." If you get out of it and things don't work out (you'll have ups and downs like everybody), you'll say, "Oh, why did I break up with my soul-mate! Sob, sob, sob." You are a guy, you need to experience other women, get out.

u miss the thrill of the hunt. but u need to ask urself, what would u be giving up, to have all that? thats the question posed to u. and if ur not happy with ur gf, then communicate to her and both of u make a conscious effort to make things better! otherwise move on to where the cows graze and leave the empty pastures behind!
