If it were me I would count myself lucky that I've found 'the one' so early. Breaking up to see other people would be a waste of time.

I don't understand what that means. You say you're the happiest you've been yet you say that bit in bold? Confusing.

I kind of get what you mean but not really.

I'm in a relationship at 21. Being single might be fun and give me excitement, but it won't get me anything in the long run. I've only had sex with my boyfriend but I don't feel that having sex with anyone else would gain me anything. The only thing it could give me is a few STDs :P I'm happy how I am.

There's a popular idiom which I believe would be appropriate here, you've probably heard it before:

'You can't have your boyfriend and eat him'.

I hope this is of help.

Would you be happy if your boyfriend told you, 'I'd like to have fun with other girls, but can you be back here waiting for me to come back, then we can settle down...'

Of course you wouldn't. It's human nature to want exclusivity and loyalty.
You're only making yourself unhappy by overthinking things. Just go with the flow...

You obviously aren't ready for a relationship. If you don't break up with him now, you probably will later on.
Whether that's a good idea or not is a different matter.

As it looks like you're not ready, just take your time as there is no rush for anything.
