I was seeing a guy and we had an understanding that we would not get very serious about each other. (Wrong foot to start off, I know now). I fell in love with him. He was not into the relationship as much as I was. It took a lot of courage for me to accept that. So, we finally decided to take a break because he cannot handle the fact that I am in love with him. He asked if we should remain friends. I said no reason not to. I really care about him. I don't know what to do. I want to keep in touch with him, but what is the point in keeping in touch with someone who can't be with you just because you care deeply about them?

You're absolutely right...keeping in touch with him, while you have strong feelings for him, will just be painful for you and keep you stuck.

It's entirely possible that once you're completely over him and no longer have any romantic feelings for him, you can reconnect as friends. But not now.
