I think you guys should be married first before having a kid. That's just my personal opinion. Though since you say its too soon for marriage then its much to soon for children.
Just a heads up for future references. When you talk to someone of the opposite sex about relationship issues, you're playing with fire. If you need someone to talk to that badly about issues in your relationship you really should seek counseling.

GF believes I'm in love with this woman from work. I tried to explain how ridiculous it is that I'd fall in love with a woman who's the same age as my mother. Is GF really going to be suspicious of me any time I talk to another woman? Even if that woman is decades older than me?

This entire post is weird, IMO.
People procreate all the time without getting married. Some people never want to get married. No sex/kids before marriage blah blah is a bit of an old hat thing these days. Humanity experimented with it for several hundred years or whatever, and now people are realizing it's not exactly working out considering infidelity & divorce rates - and the fact that we've biologically evolved to have multiple sex partners. (otherwise sperm wouldn't function like a football team with some designed to block other males' spermatozoa while sending their fastest swimmer sprinting for the ovum in the end zone)
Suggesting someone get married before they have a child together was a fantastic idea.. in the 1950's when that was still the social norm.
Talking about relationship issues with friends and coworkers is also pretty normal. Discussing it with the opposite sex isn't all that out of the ordinary at all. As long as you have someone to talk to about it I see no reason to pay a counsellor - unless it's as a neutral third party in a couples counselling session or something, then I could see value in that. Otherwise I'd do just as you did and speak w/ someone in my life I felt comfortable speaking with and wanted to hear advice from. Older people are usually pretty good for this.

If they do intend to get married in the future, it's not an awful suggestion. I don't know if they plan on that though.
Nor I think that a woman who rants at you for not wanting a child after one year being together can have the patience required to be mother or wife material. I'd argue that the next step for her is to stop being childish rather than getting pregnant.
Also dude get your damn condoms, the whole "Huh she jumps on me and I don't have time" thing sounds stupid as hell. And if she starts talking about Chinese culture and stuff, tell her that you're not Chinese and you are not in China.

Ah, thanks! I didn't know if you meant that or that I sound like a preacher.
I had even tried to do a reverse-search of the image to find out who is the guy and possibly understand some context.

Oh, that guy is Robert Downey Jr., an actor. It must be from a movie scene. All I searched for was the word "preach," in google image search.

I thought that he looked like RDJ, but didn't think that was actually him.
Odd, earlier today I sent someone a pic of him as a response too.
