That’s not me saying that by the way.. I am married to a lovely female. Not that there would be anything wrong with me having a boyfriend if I wasn’t married.. and had a serious shift in my desires. 
But I know often that question comes up after a breakup right?
And having been on both sides of the coin a few dozen times when I was in my teens and twenties, I have much to say on the topic.
Will he come back? Will he regret ever leaving you?
That always depends on the ‘reason’ for the breakup. There isn’t a right answer.. I know, you wanted one. I do apologize.. but sometimes there isn’t.
I will say I am a ‘hope’ kind of guy (not an Obama fake, just to get me elected, hope kind of guy.. I’m a republican, lol…), but I do believe in hope. I believe that just because something bad happens it doesn’t mean something good can’t come of it or that the pain can’t be reversed.
If you care about someone, you can work on it.
And sometimes.. boys change their minds. I did. I had some relationship I changed my mind about a dozen times I think. 
In the end though.. my advice would be to reflect on what went wrong. Hopefully you know the true root of the problem that made him leave you.. and if you can come to terms with that and work on fixing that, great!
Look,
The Bachelor’s couple Charlie O’Connell and Sarah Brice broke up because of his problem with drinking right? I caught some of the Bachelor last night.. ladies tell all thing.. and they were on there talking about it. He hasn’t drank in 2 years now and they are ‘working’ on it again – they are back together.
Relationships are not always easy. Most of mine in the past weren’t. Until I met my lovely wife I have today.
But I had to go through all those times.. and wonder if ‘She’ was coming back or thinking about me.. I still think back and wonder if certain women I dated ever think about me.
But, bottom line is, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.. and life moves on. If any of those other relationships would have worked out, I wouldn’t have found my soul mate.
If the first relationship I ever had worked out, I would have missed out on dozens of women in between then and now. 
…maybe he will come back. Maybe give him some room, but remind him periodically that you still dig him and are still interested. Don’t push him away by being too crazy.. just drop those hints. 
And work on it if he’s all that. Because.. you certainly don’t want to be left with the thought the rest of your life; what if I would have just tried and expressed my feelings.. and wouldn’t have just moved on right away.
Good Luck!
