Your post has numerous assumptions, that aren't entirely true, or relevant.


 * 1) "Why are they portrayed so young, and it's not like they've been dating". Since when did age or dating affect one's ability to love or get married?
 * 2) "They fell in love around the 22nd floor!" This is wrong. The 22nd Floor is the floor they decided to live in, due to the lack of monsters. When they fell in love, is never really clear, though it's implied through a large part of the given time-line.
 * 3) "And the whole thing about committing suicide if the other dies?" Actually, Asuna is really the only one who says she would kill herself. And the anime may not have covered this, but Asuna is sort of the crazy type in this regard. When Kirito first met Asuna (cut out of the anime), she was alone, fighting monsters deep within a dungeon, for 3 days straight, without rest, and multiple sets of rapiers, so she didn't have to go out and repair any, and didn't care if she died or not. She has a bit of an extremist out-look like that.
 * 4) "is bullied around by her own inferiors at her guild" What?
