A male reader, Ven United States +, writes (20 October 2010):

You need to be careful: if a guy can't decide between two women (or worse doesn't want to choose just one), the odds are good that he is infatuated and not seriously attracted to you.

Respect his choice to be with his ex. You have to respect that relationship, or you are teaching him not to respect the relationship you want with him. If you actively push to be his rebound, he will be worse off emotionally than he would be in a normal rebound. It sets him up to not deal with his feelings, and it sets you up to get hurt because he isn't in a place where he can commit to you like you want.

Give him some time and space, and hope that he comes around.
