You *general you* are still trying to find yourself. Still trying to find your place in the world. Still trying to find out what you want in a relationship.
How long were the two of you dating before deciding to become exclusive?
Since the beginning of june, on and off dating. we started seeing each other more frequently & that was that!
You are so in the wrong. But, I do not suggest that you apologize, because you really do not get it, so it wouldn't be honest. Let this guy go, you are not ready for a serious relationship, and he deserves someone who is.

There seems to be that period when women are in their early to mid 20's where they start to think they want a boyfriend, but don't really get that their 'single' behavior makes it look otherwise. For a guy going on 30 trying to date a 24 year old who's just figuring this out it could be frustrating. So I have to agree, they're better off not trying to force something when they're obviously not on the same page.

He's still a bit mad but I don't think he wants to break up.
Oh lord. If he's 30 and dated a bit this would be a big red flag. The odds that an attractive 20-something is not sleeping with anyone is usually low, so if you're not sleeping with your boyfriend... well, um... he's probably aware of the odds.

I'm not giving the boyfriend a pass here. You have to observe how a person acts / dresses before you commit to exclusivity. If you get into a relationship knowing this is how this person acts (all over members of the opposite sex, flirty, revealing dress) and then get butt hurt when they still act in the manner they have all their lives, that's on you.
The BF gets my vote. He should go find someone less attention seeking who will save him a lot of dramas to come.
Regarding the bolded part in pink...
Exactly what are the benefits of attention seeking behavior when it comes to being involved in a committed relationship? This goes for males and females. The OP seriously needs to think about this before getting involved in a committed relationship.

Some people need the attention to validate themselves as desirable. That's the "benefit." It is usually a sign of deep seated insecurity and low or falsely inflated self esteem.
