Is it normal to struggle with age in a relationship?

I'm 18 years old, my boyfriend is 24. At first we had no problems, we've been together 8 months.. I have never loved any man as much as him, we want to spend the rest of our lives together.
He got a new ID recently, so now he can go out to the bars with his friends. I want him to go have fun but, he never had the desire to drink or dance with me. He's always expressing to me that he hates to dance, doesn't like crowded places, and hates to drink alcohol. But he never hesitates to do it with his friends. Therefore, I feel left out of his fun equation. We had a fight about it today.. He can be very inconsiderate, but everyone can sometimes. Even me. It's just that lately I've really been struggling with it. I feel like I'm not good enough, or he deserves someone who can go out and do fun stuff like that.
I only have about two years left to wait, (Almost 19) but I'm just tired of feeling sad or guilty for him choosing to stay in with me instead of going out with his friends.
Anyone else been through this? Any advise?

    Don't push him away, give it time to improve. Relax and go out with your friends or have private parties, so your included

    If it was a problem for him, he never would have dated you in the first place. Relax, you'll be old enough soon. If it bothers you that much, take a trip to Canada together, you'll be legal there.
    Don't ever be jealous of a man's friends. Respect and encourage his friendships, but don't be envious.

      Yeah, I always encourage him to go out. Which is why I feel guilty for him choosing to stay in with me instead. You're right, I do need to relax though. :)
