I was recently rejected by a guy I work with. Some may have read my 5 part series! Anyway, a very short amount of time has passed and he offered to be friends. I said okay but I began to feel like maybe he felt bad for rejecting me (huge assumption) or something but I had taken him up on his offer and asked if he'd like to join a group of us who go walking every morning for 20-30minutes. He never responded to me so I said fuck him (in my mind)!

And then he left a note on my desk saying maybe when he comes back from out of town. He still continues staring at me and licking his lips (we all know that sexual look) and I politely say hi and ignore him but idk if I want his friendship now because it didn't seem authentic. So it is true in cases like mine an offered friendship is just a consolation prize?
