He knows he screwed up. He seems to want to regain your trust, but he can see that you are not having a bar of it.
And he's right. Whether you want to trust him again is entirely up to you. And whether or not the relationship can succeed requires trust.
So you either forgive him, and trust him completely and without doubt and your relationship survives. Or you don't and it ends.
Make the choice.

I'm sure you do feel down and worried about all this. He was an idiot to do what he did, though he was pulled to her and he pulled himself away. To give you this ultimatum was a bit harsh though, because I don't think he's really giving you all the reassurance he can be. I think you need to sit down by yourself and make a decision. You have been given an ultimatum, which means that he is now considering breaking up unless this is sorted. Can you forgive him?

He's right in saying that if you cant trust him it wont last! its not an easy choice but only you can make it! im sorry if i havent helped at all! xxx

You are not being ridiculous. He needs to understand and be empathetic about your feelings. The past is gone and you couldn't change it. But the fact that you let him go outside and dance with whoever, and then have him tell you (I don't know, or did someone else told you) what happened means he is not very responsible towards your relationship. That girl did nothing wrong. If you choose do dance with somebody, something like that is going to happen, and something else would happen gradually. Drinking just becomes another scapegoat.
If you are both 16-17, you shouldn't be drinking anyway.
