(hes 22 I'm 20 and shes 18) we were just friends and stuff but developed feelings for each other and ended up fooling around before they broke up. (they did shortly after) We were just talking but we rushed into things with us when he wasn't over his ex gf. We both don't want to be each others rebound, so we agreed to be friends only. He told me that he was over her, but came clean about still talking to her. I was devastated but still want to be with him someday. he says that he still cares about me and wants to be with me when he is over her. But that he needs time to grow up and figure stuff out. What should i do? do i just be his friend until he is ready? if so, how do i be just his friend?

 Its hard to just be his friend. Don't let him forget that your interested (if you still are), but also i don't reccomend waiting around for too long. It sounds like he broke up with her to be with you which means he should not need tons of time to get over it although he will still need some time. All the feelings are already out there, but watch out for signs of him getting back together with his ex. If he does that then its a good idea to move on. Good luck.
