The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
What…..

I don't want to work today.

Space. She’s using you to fill a void after a breakup.

This ^^
If a girl answers anything other than “yes”, it means “no”.
She only sees you as a friend.

I mean if she’s actually going through a breakup just be respectful and give her the space she needs. I’d say let things play out organically between you two for a while and see where it goes.
If you keep pushing to try and date it could be viewed as not respecting her wishes and push her away.
If you want rebound sex, continue pushing. If you want something potentially meaningful, give her space
He is never having sex with her
That is a no, my dude. You can still be friends, but don’t have the expectation that you will date at some point.

Concur with genentech1, space is needed. give them room to heal and stop yourself from getting too close if they’re not ready/not wanting to date at this time

Sorry dude. She don’t like you like that.

If she was interested, she'd say yes.
She sees you as an emotional placeholder until she finds her next bf.
It's obvious you were friend zoned and she doesn't want to "ruin the friendship."
Youve expressed your interest. If she's interested, she'll let her know.
FYI, the whole nice guy, friend thing is a losing strategy.
Nothing but gnashing of teeth and frustration being in the friend zone… run!!!
Run as fast as you can. You're only going to get hurt
Space. She needs time to process that breakup whether she’s interested in you or not
Presumably you knew she is/was seeing someone but you decided to ask her to date you anyway?
I wondered the same thing...
I'd keep looking and maybe keep her in the cue as an after thought. With experience, I've learned not to aim too high with anyone that puts you in emotional limbo.
Applying my personal experience (female who's been on the receiving end of this): I'd say leave it or you're risking ruining the friendship.
The reality is, once you confess feelings, the ball is in the other person's court. Respect their autonomy to play or not. If she sees you as a potential romantic partner, she will make herself available. Else, enjoy her companionship as a friend.
Don't be that guy who has a blow up 2 years from now and we read her post about how she said she wasn't interested and you kept pushing.
Back off and date someone else. Show her you have options
