My boyfriend always seems to have lots of empty promises and excuses but always says sorry. Is this a red flag?

My boyfriend always says we'll do things like trips, or hang out, or do weekend activities, and he seems genuinely excited about it at the time, but when the time actually comes, he usually declines or can't come. He's inside working like 100% of the time and always is really busy/works hard. He always says we'll do something next time.

Is this a red flag at all? I should maybe be taking the initiative to plan stuff more or just be content. I always bring up suggestions, and I genuinely don't think he's a bad guy, I think he's a homebody/introvert. It's been 4 months though and we haven't even done anything all summer because he works so much. So I'm getting a little frustrated. He genuinely says sorry and that we'll do something eventually but next time has never really come. So we just kinda do things inside on his time. So I stopped planning on my part. The second thing that pisses me off, is that he went on like 2 or 3 trips this summer with family and friends but not me (he didn't invite me, as they were pre-planned and he went alone).

What should I do? Should I sit & talk with him? Maybe I'm too extroverted & wanna do too much stuff. Maybe plan some future activities together that we both enjoy, or just stay inside with him. Is this just a normal thing for guys? How should I go about? Thanks y'all!
