He said he is fine with me going out when i want to and that he will try and take me out rather than staying in. Ive decided to give him a chance to change, he deserves that because he is great guy, just hope he does change or i'm going to have to make a huge deicision again.
Thanks again everyone you really helped me

 Hi there,
sorry to say but you are right. You have grown apart. At your age there should be no reason why you can't go out clubbing or whatever you want to do. If your boyfriend is holding you back, let him go and you might just meet someone with the same interests. Breaking up is the hardest thing to do especially when you live with your partner, but if you are no longer compatible there really is no other option.
Good luck.

 I think if you really feel like you want out of this relationship then you have got to tell him sooner rather than later. The longer you leave it the harder it will get, you are already questioning whether you want this relationship anymore, so my guess is ultimately you don't. It sounds like you both want different things, he wants to settle down, and you want to go out with you mates. So i would maybe tell him you want a break and see how it goes, then you can go out clubbing and wear what you like without feeling bad. But as i said, tell him sooner rather than later.
All the best x

He might be intimidated by the idea. Some people have never socialised properly and can struggle in basic situations so they decide to avoid them altogether. Its called social phobia...he may try and disguise this as saying 'No i dont want to', 'no i can't be bothered' 'Whats the point?''im better than that' etc.
Does he have his own friends?
If he doesn't and your his only real friend then theres a good chance that he suffers form social phobia and he needs to talk through his fears with a counseller or psychiatrist because it will ruin his life.
It is unlikely that he is just a boring person. If you don't think he has social phobia then maybe you have just grown apart and its time to move on.
Whatever you do, DO NOT CHEAT. End the relationship first and make sure its permanent and not just 'a break'.
