New bf - I’m unsure

In a new relationship for the last few months with a man. I was swept away with the dates, the start of something new and the potential at the start. However I’m not sure I should continue. As the weeks have gone past, I’m seeing behaviour I don’t like and he doesn’t make me feel special and I would still call it early days. There are a lot of red flags if I’m honest. From pushing for unprotected sex early on to talking about other dates and women (he’s waaaaay more experienced than I am), talking fondly of his ex, drinking and going out with his friends every weekend, which is fine but I feel it’s a little excessive as it’s constantly around alcohol and bars. I do feel lovebombed plus he constantly goes on about long term, settling down and having children. Yet I was the one who had to initiate the relationship status. I’ve also noticed in the last few weeks he seems to be getting agitated that I’m not living an exciting lifestyle with my demanding job. He is constantly talking and has holidays planned and I’m happy / content to relax and just be. He makes me feel like I’m boring all of a sudden. This seems to annoy him. I feel he is not finished keeping his options open and I’m being used for sex. Advice?
