I showed interest in a girl I met at my college, I feel like she's interested, but I'm constantly overthinking. I asked her out to play badminton and she said yes. I showed interest by saying she looks pretty, and her hair style is cute (is that enough interest? I heard to not overdo it). She responded with "thanks" (is that good?). I didn't really know how to kino since we're standing on opposite sides of the court.

She laughs at my jokes, seems comfortable around me, and when I asked her to go rock climbing(just the two of us), she seemed enthusiastic (yeah sure + times she's available). The thing was, she told me she can only play for an hour since she promised to meet up with a few other of her friends at the gym later. She was fine with me tagging along though.

She was also fine with walking back with me, just the two of us (we lived close to each other, so I didn't bother trying to get her over to my place since she had to go to work early the next morning, should I have tried anyway?). When we left the gym, she asked me to wait for her while she went to get her stuff so it wasn't like I was constantly "pushing" so to say.

I don't have any classes with her so we don't see each other naturally. But the one time I did run into her again (also at badminton, she came with some other people), she seemed happy to see me. This time, I realized I can kino by asking her if I could correct her racket swings and she was fine with it (is this an okay way to kino?).

The thing is, she takes a long time (like 12h to a day) to respond to my texts on weekdays (her responses aren't short one-word responses, and she responds decently quickly on the weekends). I'm not sure what to make of all this.

Also, considering she seems interested in doing stuff together, how can I make sure to not be in the friendzone? Please don't give generic advice like "build connection" or "make it man to woman". I have no idea what you mean by that so please be specific.
