Search Results: giving a girl space

So I'm 17, and pretty much all of my friends and myself have managed to get boyfriends at the same time. And so we do that "girly" thing where we sit around and talk about our boyfriends, show screen shots of cute things they said in text, and what not.

Now my friends are all about that stuff. They LOVE when their boyfriends write paragraphs about them, or get them flowers or whatever else.

I on the other hand, do NOT. It makes me uncomfortable honestly. And I'm also not a romantic myself, so honestly I could care less if my boyfriend sends me a paragraph about why he likes me. I'd just sit there like "lol, cool."

Luckily for me, my boyfriend is also not a romantic. In fact, the other day he actually APOLOGIZED to me for not being romantic enough, and I was actually confused because that's something that I like about him.

And then while my friends are hanging all over their boyfriends, sitting on their laps, and giving exsessive kisses, me and my boyfriend will hug each other in greeting and SOMETIMES we'll give each other a little peck or something, but then after that we're both kind of like "alright, now get off I need my space." We don't say that, but it's sort of a silent agreement.

And it works for us though, we've been dating several months and not had a single argument, which I know isn't a lot, but it's something.

However the reason I ask is because APPARENTLY if you didn't know we were dating, then you just wouldn't know. And like, my boyfriend is fairly attractive, so I've seen girls just walk up to him right in front of me and think we're just friends and start flirting with him, and then depending on my mood I'll either say nothing about it and let him handle himself, or I'll make a big joke of the whole situation and tell the girl all about how he was just commenting on her butt. (he never does, but we both have a good laugh about stuff like that later).

And then there's my friends who also make comments, and they always seem to hint that my boyfriend might not really care about me because of how we act around each other, and I've even been accussed of using him because he does come from a fairly wealthy family.

ANYWAY, DOES anyone else just get extremely uncomfortable when it comes to romantic things?

I was seeing a guy for 2 months. We hadn't spoken about being exclusive at that point but I was under the impression we were both only really dating each other. He introduced me to his closest friends, left me in his house while he went to work, was sleeping together, having date nights and would talk about me meeting extended friends, We also planned to do a couples massage which was his suggestion.
In the space of a week I had suddenly seen a slutty girl with no self respect (posts about hating men, loving dick, ruining lives etc) posting on his wall and flirting back and forth majorly, he had also bought her flowers. I told him we needed to talk and he told me that he has feelings for us both but saw a future with me it's just he only had met her a week before suddenly didn't know what he wanted. I told him I won't be a second option to anyone and that I was done. He said we hadn't spoken about being exclusive yet so he was allowed to keep his options open until that conversation. He kept saying he didn't want me to walk away and could see a future but just needed time to figure out his head but said not to go. I told him I'm not waiting around and that I need to move on. He kept saying he'll be in touch when he figures things out. I just walked away.

He sent me a message yesterday saying how he thinks I'm an amazing person and said he understands where I'm coming from and the reason he likes me so much was because my head was screwed on.
Was walking away the right thing to do? If he comes back would be giving him a second chance (with conditions) be worth it?
