A female's perspective..?

I have my mind made up but I just need a woman's opinion of the scenario below.

I was dating this girl for 6 months. However, she ended it last weekend. Her reasons. She felt bad for the fact that she couldn't give me the attention that I deserve. Her priorities right now are to establish herself in terms of a career and financially. She is 24, just finished college. I am 27, finished college 3 years ago, work full-time in the IT field and share an apartment with a roommate. She stated that I am an amazing guy that has gone above and beyond any other person. I really invested a lot on her because I felt something different with her. She admitted the same thing to me at one point during our relationship.

It was hard for her to say it but she just was not ready for a relationship. She stated that she really does deeply care for me but thinks it better that we remain friends. She still wants to hang out and do things.

OK. So obviously I was feeling down after that. That night before I went to sleep, I left her a long text just iterating some of my thoughts. She texts me in the morning that we will be friends and that I was too good of a person to lose. I was still like whatever. Seeing is believing. Felt like crap most of the day but still did my thing by going out. She later texts me for some advice for an interview that she had the next day. I replied to her text. Then later that night she calls me asking for some more advice.

She calls me the next day. I initially missed the call. But I later called her. I already knew what was up. She told me that they offered her a position (although not official yet because of the background check). I already knew that was going to happen...just had that feeling. She informs me that she used me as a reference. A couple of days have gone by and she is still talking to me. I am still like whatever, I am going to do my thing. Some of my people tell me to ignore her. It's kind of hard because you just don't wipe away feelings like that. Even then it's just not my style to just ignore someone that really matters to me.

My roommate told me to do a test. He told me to purposely ignore her if she calls again. The next night she calls me. I actually missed the call but not intentionally. Didn't think much of it. However, she calls me again later in the evening when I was out with my friends. I picked up the call. She asks me some general questions about the hiring process. Then she asks me what I was up too. She proceeds to tell me that she will probably see me tomorrow. That caught me off guard. I just told her to let me know before hand.

Today, I met her for lunch. I purposely arrived late. The last couple of times I saw her. She didn't really dress up. Today, she looked good. She wore a nice summer dress. Showed her legs and wore the heels that she bought when I went out shopping with her one day. We hugged each other. I commented to her that she look great. The lunch conversation was more about her. We hugged again when lunch ended. I had her come to my car because I gave her back some things she left in my apartment. I asked before she left if we were still going to hang out? She asks me when? I told her I will let her get settled first with her new job and place. But I ask again if we are still going to hang out. She said yes and then walks away. Texted her later just to iterate it was good to see her, she looked great and that I am truly happy for her. She later calls because of something related to her job. But then acknowledges my text and iterates that it was good to see me also.

    I think she's just using you..or now that she's starting to establish a career and will be financially alright..she wants you to be in her life and maybe later on you two would be back together..or she really meant what she said that she wants to remain in touch with you..

    To me it sounds like she is still very interested in you, she just wants to focus on herself right now. Which is a very mature decision for her. I would possibly give it a little more time just to see what happens :).
