Search Results: rebound relationship

I was taking with this nice girl, and we seemed to get along with great. She said she really liked me and we talked every day.
She expressed wanting to start a relationship, start having sex and meeting parents, but when we went on our first date as a couple she said she felt she needed more time to get over her ex and find her self love.
We had a few intense conversations and she said she'd let me know when she was ready. It's been a month since we last talked.
Today is my birthday, and she hasn't said anything to me.
Does this mean she truly doesn't care about me?
The last thing she said was she liked me and I wasn't a rebound.

Some back story. I matched her on tinder. We talked through Snapchat. Before we could meet up I went out of town for work for a few months. In that time she met someone and they dated. Told her I didn't want to talk to her if she wasn't single.

Recently she posted on her story that she's single. Not out right subtle but well enough so people would ask her about it.

I'm still out of town for another month or so. Do I make a response now to her story and put myself on her mind (could come off as desperate or something and she might not be ready to think about dating again.) or should I wait until I'm closer to being home (she might find someone else or won't remember me. Might be playing it too casual.)?

I know y'all will probably tell me to hit her up but honestly. If you just broke up with someone would you be wanting to find a relationship again quickly? Would really give someone a chance or would youuse them as emotional support/validation, a rebound?

Or should I read this from the obvious and say she wasn't into me that much if she dated someone else. The only reason I hesitate to go with this option firstly is because there is a distance. We have never met. When considering dating someone I don't really consider them until after we met. I wasn't a real option or on the table since we never met, at least that's my thought on it.
