This is a very common yet unique way to say someone is interested in you in a romantic way. It actually means “S/he has a pulse” or “S/he is alive”
脈あり myaku ari
脈 myaku = pulse
あり ari = to be/to have ↔︎ なし nashi = to not be/ to not have
脈あり myaku ari = to have pulse = to be alive
This turned to mean "S/he is interested in you” or ”I think you've got a chance with her.”
It can also be used in non romantic way. Then it means "it's promising" or "You can expect something to happen"
