Imo, don't leave the conversation hanging. If you're this curious about her intentions, you should have ended your conversation with a clear question. An example would be "do you want to do anything after my exams are done?" "wanna meet up sometime after my exams are over??". Ask clear questions. Now if she doesn't follow up you can take the silence as a no. But at least you won't be confused on a maybe state and start speculating things. If you just explained and answered her questions plainly, it's like you're waiting for her to ask the BIG questions. I say take the initiative. Like Cyr said "you don't really lose anything by asking" --- in this case, asking directly.
I have learned to have my side of the communication very clear and I usually try to make my intentions/feelings clear as well. That way, their answer will be clear as well, and doesn't leave much room for confusion.
