<human>: So I met this girl at work.  She was a new employee and we met about three weeks ago.  I instantly crushed on her.  One day she got a call in front of me about her friend dying and I offered her a hug, and comforted her and felt instant sparks.  I contacted her a few days later and got her number and texted her for the past 10 days or so non stop while she was on vacation.  She reciprocated everything I said and more, and we would talk about how easy this all was, how we'd never felt this way before about someone so fast, etc.  There were talks of a future.  

My policy on relationships now is honesty, so I always said what was on my mind, and she did to me too.  So she called me one night a few nights ago and told me she had spoken to her ex, that she was over him, but that they had just broken up at the beginning of summer after being on and off again.  I thanked her for telling me and assumed it was done.  Ever since that night though, things had been weird.  She was very sporadic with texting, very distant.  I knew something was up.

We hung out last night like we had planned for the first time outside of work, but I already knew it was going to be weird like it had been, and sure enough it was.  She ignored me all day today until she told me she wasn't ready for a relationship yet, she just wanted to be friends for now.  Basically things I knew, but still didn't get because she we had talked about the FUTURE together merely a few days prior.  

So, my question is...where do I go from here?  How long is too long to wait around?  Any advice from girls who did this to other guys would be greatly appreciated.  I'm trying to figure out how my chances are with this amazing girl and if I should hold to hope or move on.  Thanks again.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Coworker and I hit it off instantly while she's on vacation, talk about the future, but when she comes back she tells me she doesn't think she's ready for a relationship.
