What the heck do I do? (Breakup with girlfriend or remain friends and miss out on other relationships?)

What the heck do I (17M) do? I was in a relationship for 18 months and broke up a week ago. My ex wants to remain friends / stay close, I think I'm going to miss out on potential relationships by doing so. I don't know if I'm being selfish / how to handle this because I want to stay friends but I also want to keep my options open (for a year atleast).
