The trouble is within a couple of days i felt a connection and we exchanged photos we both fancied each other, the problem is she has now said that she finds it hard to move on because of what happened to her and wanted to stay just friends, my trouble is i haven't thought about anything else but her and haven't heard anything from her since. Question is Does she fancy me or is she giving me the brush off, or is she scared of a new relationship?

Personally I'm very afraid of getting involved with another man after what I've been through in my failed marriage. Right now, I can't even imagine opening up my feelings to someone. I'm sure you can relate to that too since it has been some time since you've been ready to date.
You can always remain friends with her but be open to meeting others.

If you're both in the same situation, that implies neither of you are yet divorced and therefore free to pursue whom you want. She is clearly having second thoughts about getting involved with someone (she works with no less) while still married. Also you may be ready for a new relationship, but she may not be in the exact same place.

If ur still not sure then ask her again once more but if the answer is still no then the best thing to do is to forget about it. I no its easier said than done but i promise iv been there. Perhaps if u want to meet new people then find a hobby that wud ensure u hav contact with others eg coaching, a sport or art class?
