Am I being selfish?

Question

So for some background, my boyfriend and I have been together for about 10 months. I am so happy when I am with him and I love him so so much. But the other day he started telling me how much he needs me and how I am everything to him and how he could never handle if I left him and it was all just a lot. 
I'm 20 and he is 24. I am still in school and working part time and he has his degree and a full time job. He really wants to settle down and he has these great plans for his life but they don't really go together with what I want right now. 
I don't want to break up with him but I feel like there are some things that I just couldn't do with him. I feel like I need some time to experience life to the fullest and there's so much I want to do before settling down.
I texted him today and told him that we needed to talk and all he texted back was "please don't leave me" and it really got to me. I love him so much but I don't know what to do.
I feel like he would be so perfect if I had met him 5 years from now. I'm just really conflicted and need some advice.

Answer

Maybe just let him know you're not ready yet and that you want to take it slow? Could you see yourself together with him if you guys waited and just enjoyed being a couple?

Answer

Just tell him to slooooooooowwwwwwwwww it down!!!! You can continue to date if YOU want.

Answer

I would talk to him. You can still do what you want and live life to the fullest, personally losing him only to see him 5yrs down the line with someone else would not be something I would want. At the end of the day you have to do what makes you happy.
