should I keep trying?

My previously boyfriend decided to break up since he felt like we weren't growing but in reality we didn't really break up because we kept hanging out and talking. He has been overwhelmed recently and said he didn't want a relationship but now he is in the consideration phase. He hasn't gone out to date anyone but I got on tinder and started looking and talking with guys but he got real upset when I told him that I was on there and he said that if I wasn't the one who told him and someone else did he would have stopped talking with me. But I did not get on tinder until after we broke up. I feel like we are moving toward a relationship but should I just give up now or give it more time and how much time more time should I give him to make a decision before I tell that I am going to get back on tinder and start looking for other guys?
