<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

My boyfriend and I started dating at the beginning of the year. We got extremely close quickly and soon were spending most of our time with each other.
Despite having a very different dating history - he had lots of short relationships, I had one which ended badly- we had a great relationship -we were always honest, had great communication and solved arguments easily. 

However he is prone to depression and a couple of months ago he started to feel down and hasn't come 100% right since. I thought we were fine as a couple, but one day he suggested we 'take a break' and a few days later he broke up with me. It was a complete shock for not only me but our friends as well. He says it's for a number of reasons. He's young and doesn't want to be tied down, he can't deal with the issues and pressure that comes with being in a relationship, he just wants to be alone etc. 

I am devastated I love him very much and he assures me he still loves and cares for me too. We've hung out a couple of times in the weeks since this happened, but it always ends with me being upset and confused.

After all this the main point I want to get to is this. Should I carry on as I am now, which means, attempting to be friends with him in the hopes that we can get together? We still get along really well and enjoy spending time together, but ultimately I'm upset and crying a majority of the time. On top of this there is the chance we won't get back together and I will end up being hurt all over again. 

OR do I just accept what has happened and try to move on. This, I think, will be harder than the first option as I am very much in love with him, have no negative feelings towards him and don't know how I can stop myself contacting/ seeing him with out being more miserable than I am now. 

Right now he says he doesn't know whether or not we will get back together.

Also he is going to get professional help for his depression
<bot>: I was dumped because he is depressed and wants to be alone. Do I hold on in the hopes of getting back together or give up?
