>>33324090 (OP)Don't look for clues, look for follow-through and action. In that same vein, don't get yourself too wrapped up in an uncommittal fantasy. Generally just don't expect too much, don't make it more than what it is right now, but offer her opportunities to actually display her interest rather than talking about it like a hypothetical, then judge based upon what she does. If you can, get her to meet up in person. If she's hesitant, that's fine, if she strings you along and never shows any intention or effort to meet up, then address that, and set a standard for yourself that you will only maintain the connection if there's serious intention and possibility behind it. Meaning, don't let yourself get lost in a situationship that ultimately goes nowhere because she was just having online fun with you. I know it's exciting to get that attention, especially if you haven't had it in a while, but it's only going to hurt worse if you get your hopes up about something that was never real and that she never even wanted to become real.
Also there is no "may be interested", push her on this. She's either interested or not, it doesn't take weeks and months of "talking" to figure out if you're into someone enough to see them in person. If she continues being vague or uncertain, then tell her that you wish her the best, but that you don't want to continue investing in dynamic that's going nowhere, because you want to date seriously. THAT, anon, is how you keep from getting fucked with; having strong standards and boundaries that you communicate and stand by. You can't control her or divine if she's serious or not, but you can refuse to invest in unserious behavior and empty words.
