We're still friends and talk every once in awhile and I think that that she's still in love with me, but I'm not sure tho...so my question is, do you think rebound relationships work?

They don't really work out at all to be honest. I've never heard of a rebound working out. That said, if it does fail, she won't come back to you either.
Best thing to do is to continue to move on from her.

Rebound relationship have slim chances to work.
But frankly, it's the same thing for going back to your ex whom you broke up with recently. An ex is an ex for a reason.
The wisest thing is to give yourself time to process your loss, then move on.

Sure there are the exceptions but as a rule they do not.
Here's why. When a person suffers a break up, a void is created in that person's life. Another person comes along and that person simply plugs the hole.
Instead of being broken up with GF and alone you are just broken up with GF and you have someone there for company. It also distracts from the normal grieving process of a finished relationship.
