Okay I kind of have a problem. I still have feelings for my ex boyfriend. I don't know what to do. He had a girlfriend but broke up with her sort of because of me. Its so hard because he sends me mixed singals. He flirts with me a lot but then he plays it off like it is not a big deal. We didn't date for that long, but there is def chemistry there. He claims that he just wants to be friends, but I have a hard time with that? Do I just acccept that and move on? I'm not real experienced with relationships, I advoid them mainly because I don't like to leave my heart to a guy. Esp when I'm 17. Anyone have any ideas! Help!

Agree to be just friends at least this way you still get to be with him and who knows what the future might hold.

Friends, don't rush into anything, take it slow, slow, maybe suggest you two go out for fun days out/trips for instance, fairs, theme parks etc. As bluerose said, who knows what the future holds, at least he is not out of your life then - O and don't make him your life either and put too much into it
