Over Involved Boyfriend?

I'm posting as anonymous as people from my college use the site and know my name - so delete if can't keep anon, thanks.
Basically, I've been with my boyfriend for 18 months, and he takes up most of my time. As in he won't have a lesson until last, but he'll come in at break time just to see me. At first I didn't mind it, but now I've noticed it's getting worse. When we sit talking to other people, he'll lean forward so I have to talk to him, so he's in my view, so I can't talk to the others and get fully involved in the conversation. I know he doesn't do this intentionally, he just wants me to pay attention to him. And also, when I'm in the middle of talking to someone he'll just come up and kiss me. I find this very awkward, so it must be for the other person too!
I'm so used to being with him, it's weird when I'm on my own, and I feel I don't really have any friends any more, but more just acquaintances. I never see anyone else out of college, just him, and although I don't mind too much usually, recently it's started to get to me.
I don't really know what I'm asking for here, advice I guess, or just general comments. All would be welcome, thanks.

Tell him how you feel. He probably doesn't know he's doing it.

I would talk to him and see if you can explain what he's doing and how it makes you feel. Like you say, its probably not something he even realises he's doing. If he does realise and is doing it on purpose then you have a new matter on your hands.

Just explain to him as much as you love him, you don't want him in your face the whole time like that. Whilist it's nice to have a boyfriend who wants to kiss you this much, you got to spend time with your friends.

He's insecure, wanting your friends to know he is a boyfriend who violates his girlfriend. Dump this possessive ass.
