    It can mean any number of things - a decision maker is not around to sign off, another candidate's interview was postponed, they've an offer out to someone else and they're waiting to see what the response is, the hiring manager is busy. It's pretty much out of your control at this stage either way.

    Yes I suppose it just seems like they don't want me I wish they would tell me now if that's the case

    Why does it seem like they don't want you?

    Only that if they really wanted me they would have said yes straight away

    That's not how interviews work.

    If I interviewed someone and said yes straight away, both HR and my manager would go crazy.

    There's a process they need to follow. It takes time.

    OP, you need to understand that in the vast, vast majority of companies, HR is a black hole. You could send them a query asking for confirmation of the name of the company and you'd be lucky to hear back from them the same week.
