Maybe if you thought of your relationship more like "being on hold"...he obviously doesn't have time for a relationship, and is not motivated enough to make time (red flag #1). To be honest, what he said makes complete sense.
Maybe later that could change. But...I wouldn't hold my breath.
If that's really the only reason, maybe things could work out better later on. I'd make absolutely certain that was the only reason, though. In the meantime, go out and meet other people who will make you enough of a priority to create time for you. Then you can see what that's like, and decide if it's enough to help you move on.
I think though that to hurry along the "getting over" him, if that's really what you want to do, you should cut off all contact for a while, as hard as that is. Otherwise, it's like a little heartbreak all over again every time, eh?
