How long do rebound relationships last?

My boyfriend broke up with me 2 months ago and we were really good friends before we went out. I wasnt totally sure if i was into him at that time and I think I came across this way hence why he broke up with me. But now Ive realised im in love with him, a typical case of you dont know what youve got til its gone, but the friendship just isnt the same at the moment as what it was. Hes now seeing another girl in my social circle whom I dont know too well but I told her I was still getting over him and now there going out. We were never close friends although I found this to be really sly behaviour. she is still a virgin and I believe he is using this girl to to build up his self esteem again.
I know you have to let these things take its course and I havnt spoken to him about it either. Ive also been avoiding where he hangs out as I just become really depressed when I see him. I made the mistake of thinking i could stay friends with him without much thought to how id feel if he were to start dating someone else. Do you think I could reconcile the break up? Even though i havnt contacted him or seen him for 3 weeks I just cant stop thinking about him.

Just contact him and tell him how you feel - be honest and upfront. If he's interested he will come back if not accept it and move on.

i could but i dont think hes likely to respond if hes still with rebound girl. im trying to wait it out, its been nearly 4 weeks now theve been dating. ive stayed away most of this time

She may not be a rebound girl though. He may just have found someone he likes better! I would leave well alone.

I agree with lofty - who's to say she's a rebound? Also, what does her being a virgin have to do with anything? lol
