What does she mean by “there’s potential?”?

Long story short, I met this girl for the first time on Hinge, texting was great for 5 days, then our first date was actually a flight to Denver where we spent 4 days together (I spontaneously said “what if I went with you” to a trip she had already planned). First 2 days were amazing; great rapport, building our connection, nights out, first kiss.

Last two days of the trip, we hung out with her friends. And for some reason, my social battery just turned off. I was quiet and reserved for the most part around her friends, and my fear is that this turned her off to the point where it tainted the good days we had in the past. She was also annoyed that I stayed both at her hotel and Airbnb (more so than my social awkwardness), as well as me getting pretty drunk one night. We had a phone call last night and cleared things up, as well as me apologizing for any discomfort and annoyances.

She was understanding for the most part, and but when I asked her how she felt about us after the trip, she said “yeah there’s potential.” What does this mean? Her texting energy has died down significantly and isn’t as candid (she’d text first usually and be playful; flirty) and just feels like she’s just entertaining me just to text.

What’s your guys’ take on this? I like this girl and want to start a relationship with her, but I fear we may no longer by on the same page.
