Needy boyfriend Options

I feel bad cuz hes trying to be the best boyfriend, being there for everything, coming to my house when im bored. But I feel smothered. Especially cuz during football season, he came to every game. Every Friday. But somehow I feel like Friday is MY thing, with MY friends. I haven't gone anywhere without him these days, cuz my friends invite him everywhere i'm going with, and even my parents ask me to ask him to go anywhere. I feel really smothered, like I have no freedom. Especially being a naturally free person who LOVES to socialize, I can't stand the fact that everyone asks "wheres J?" Any time I'm without him. I'm being a bad girlfriend arent I? I should be thankful for such a caring boyfriend. But I'm not. I read too many romance novels and watch too much movies. But frankly all that mushy romantic stuff is a bit too much for me because I'm much more an independent person than the "oh-baby-i-love-you-i-want-you-to-be-with-me-every-single-moment" kind of girl.
One example, Friday was homecoming, and so my bf and i went to the homecoming dance. But I was having much more fun dancing with my friends than with my bf (who cant dance for nuts.). Later he felt like I was being distant and that he wanted to "win my love back" and "better [himself]". I felt like it was a bit too much.
Am I a bad girlfriend for feeling smothered like this?
