is she interested in me?

She's interested in going on a date with you. That's all any of us, as well as you, can know from the situation. Interest doesn't exactly mean unadulterated attraction-- because neither of you know enough about the other person right now, especially because you haven't been super close in a while and have probably grown into your own identities over time. (Which is why she said no previously but is saying yes now-- things, and people, change.)

The date is the only way to reveal if she likes you, and the truth is, sometimes it takes more than just one date before you can know for sure. You both have to get to know each other on a personable level again before you can tell if you're a good match! Just take it easy and if she keeps wanting to go out on more dates with you, it's an obvious sign that everything is going well. Your best bet is to just be yourself and have fun. If the chemistry is there, it'll make itself known over time!
