Do girls typically wait for interest to be shown from a guy?

I've known a girl for about a couple weeks. She seems pretty interested, especially when I took her to the airport recently (she needed means to get there, I offered, she said yes without hesitation). The whole ride there she was very talkative. When we got to the airport, we shared a drink (she offered me a sip of hers). As she left, she went to give me a hug and thanked me for the ride. Before leaving, both of us, at the same time, said to keep in touch.

When she came back from her trip, she IM'd me before even calling her family. Up to this point, she seemed to show a lot of interest.

Since then, I've been at a loss when it comes to a very basic question, and I'm hoping for answers from the girls out there: is she expecting me to initiate most conversations (specifically online/texting) from here on? Should I not be so afraid to be initiating most of them (I don't want to scare her off or make it look like I'm desperate)?

The reason I ask is because she's been on Skype a couple times where I'd wait a while before I'd have to start the conversation. When I see her in-person she still says hi to me.

Should I even be concerned? Am I over-thinking all of this way too much (probably...haha)? She just seems very special and I'm taking all the advice I can get to not screw this one up. I already consulted my best friend on this, lol.

Thanks for the help!

You kind of are over-thinking this. But still, I think she likes you a lot. And for me, I'm usually too shy to ask a guy out or something, so if you're pretty sure about this, you should ask her out when the time is right...

If you like her, go for it, wait too long and she'll take it as disinterest.
Tell her how you feel, 'you think she's very special'

Yeah, I think you're really over thinking to the point of almost obsessing over it. By what you're saying it is obvious there are some feelings going on from both sides so go with it. Ask her out and see where it leads to.

It sounds like she likes you, or at least she's interested. And as a girl myself, I can say that I'd rather have a guy start talking to me than the other way around - just perhaps play a little hard to get. And I have no idea what exactly I mean by that, but maybe try just being the one who always ends the conversations, like just saying you have to go. Try to make sure you're having an awesome conversation though and cut it off short - this'll probably frustrate her and she'll be trying to get as much time with you as possible when you guys ARE talking because she'll be thinking that you'll leave soon.
But yeah, don't be afraid to start the conversation, s'all good. Maybe don't even take my advice, just don't over-think it too much and do what feels right :)
