I'd suggest first sorting yourself out. Don't worry about being with someone until you're stable enough to help them with their needs as well (and by needs I don't mean sex, I mean companionship, a level head, and happiness). You're 16. The friends of yours who are waiting till around 20 to date are very wise. School is your priority right now, and having a relationship will take away from the future you're building for yourself, which is the future you're building for your partner as well.

In addition, boys your age and even a bit older aren't mature enough to give you the kind of care you want or need. My advice: Wait. Get through school and work on maturing and finding yourself. If you find a relationship now, you'll be setting yourself up for hurt again (trust me, not one of the couples in my high school of 2000+ kids are still together). Take this time to think about what you really want, need, and deserve.

You aren't over this ex of yours quite obviously, therefore making you not ready for a new relationship. Take a complete break from dating in order to get over him, and make yourself ready for something new and exciting.

You've got time, 16 years isn't all that long to be alive.
