Is "steady dating" really a sin?

I was reading the teenage guide for confession, and in the "fornication" section, it mentioned "steady dating" (placing oneself in the near occasion of sin by dating the same person steadily with no intent for marriage within approximately 12-18 months). I'm a sophomore in college, and have been dating my boyfriend for two months. I don't want to get married until I have graduated with at least my bachelor's, so I have three years to go. So am I really sinning because I don't want to marry my boyfriend in 12-18 months?
