No, but they’re fond of your money.

Yep this is what I'm thinking, having been exposed to many cultures I think it could be a case of she feels no butterfly's but he checks enough of her boxes otherwise, their families get along and she at least likes him which in many cultures is enough for her to eventually accept a marriage with him, in most of the west this relationship would be DOA at this point, but in many cultures or even some subcultures here in the west "he checks enough of her boxes ,their families get along and she at least likes him" is a strong enough baseline for marriage to happen. Which may be why she is cool with him pursuing her if he chooses and she may even pick him over someone that does give her the butterflies but leaves too many boxes unchecked and does not come from a good family.

Sounds like she's mostly telling you that it's not a problem for her that you are interested in her and she isn't making it awkward.

She's basically telling you "well, you can always try your luck, but I'm telling you, don't get your hopes up, because the way things are looking right now, I'm not in."

So does she love you? No.

Just reverse the roles for a moment. If she came to you and told you she had feelings for you, would you say anything like what she told you? No. You'd be jumping on that opportunity straight up. You'd make it happen. She's just being polite with you.
