when a girl says she loves but not in a serious way?

Ok recently I had commented on a shared pic the girl I have a lil crush on, we're friends bit not like friends that just stay friends, we don't talk much but there's attraction and some chemistry we like each other's pics and she has this weird way of flirting with me, anyways after I commend on it, she said "I love you omg, and so I thought she meant something else with that in my next comment and then she replied to that with, "no you are just

very

special

and it's great" , this girl is vey bright and pretty and so I'm hoping we can be more, but is this a sign that she actually has a crush on me? Or what.
