I know where you're coming from, it is really scary to actually chose to be single and there will be times, should you do it, when it will feel like the wrong choice. I can only say that I was in a similar situation at your age and i did choose to be single - it was soooo the right choice.
You need to experience being an adult and not answering to anyone. Little things like going out shopping with a friend and turning it into a pub crawl without having to phone anyone and let them know.
Yeah snogging random men is part of it but it's not the best bit. The best bit is learning that you re more than capable of surviving alone which means that you will never put up with any s**t because you'll know that you'll have everything you need, even if alone, and that everything else is just optional extras.
You really do have plenty of time to do the settled thing, and it hardly sounds like this guy of yours is 'the one'. I'm 25 any I think I may have found 'the one' which is a bit inconvenient because I feel I've got at least a few more productive single years in me yet :-) but the point is I haven't missed the boat or anything.
Look at it this way, you've tried settled relationship, you're not really happy so try wild and single - you only really regret the things you didn't do and then you become old, bitter and twisted.

single. I was in that position when I was 19 (with I guy I had been with since I was 15). I didn't choose single, and I wish I would have. We didn't end up getting married, but we stayed together for another 4 yrs. Not that things ended badly and not that I regret our relationship, I just wish our relationship would have happened later. I wish I could have been in a realtionship where it wasn't sooo serious.

If your 18 then drop him. If he annoys you and you can't see a future with him then you are just using him as a safety blanket. If you want to meet loads of guys with your friends then do that, you are still young and can always find another boyfriend, one that doesn't annoy you.
There are good things and bad things about having a partner, one is you lose some of your freedom, but if you are single you might find you miss what you had with your boyfriend.

If I could do over I would stay single and live life to the fullest. You can always have a guy friend to take care of your needs.

Stay single until you know for sure what you want and then go from there.

I think everyone needs to live a little before settling down.

You don't want him forever- thats your answer.
Remember that because if you don't it could soon become that.
