She (18F) doesn't make attempts to talk to me (19F)

As of last week, I recently told this girl that I liked her, and she told me that she's had a massive crush on me ever since she's met me (in her words), which was ever since November of 2018. I was pretty excited to hear that she liked me back, since this was the first time I'd ever told someone this before. All of this is pretty new to me, essentially, and this is my first time attempting to do this.
So, after that was done, we sort of talked it out a bit and I told her that since is my first time in any sort of relationship, I'd like to take things a bit slow. She was understanding and said she'd do whatever I was comfortable with.
---------------

Now, to backtrack a little bit, back when we met in November, it was through my friend's group chat. My friend left his laptop out on his desk, and I decided it would be fun to say some jokes and send them in the chat to see how his friends would respond. Eventually they figured out it wasn't him, and thought it would be fun to let me join the chat as well.

Back to the girl I recently confessed to, we would all talk through the chat together, but that was pretty much it. I never really DM'd (Direct Message) any of the people in there (except for my friend whose laptop I used that got me into the chat). So this means that I also didn't DM that girl. So we really never got to know each other on that level.
Other than that, I've hung out at her house a few times (about 3 or 4), but with some of the people in the group as well. We'd have some small conversations here and there, but that's about it.
---------------

Fast forward to now, I was sort of expecting her to try and start talking to me a bit more, like maybe saying "hey" and trying to start *some* sort of conversation. But really all that's happened is that I'd text something and essentially lead the conversation, and if I never replied, she'd never reply either; and usually the "conversations" are just about 5-7 texts long, even shorter. To be honest, I've been kind of struggling to find something to talk about, despite the fact that we have a lot in common. It's hard for me to figure out how to respond so that it invites a continuation of the conversation. But also, it seems like I'm putting in more effort in trying to have some sort of conversation than she is. It feels like when I text her, she'll respond, but she doesn't seem super interested in the conversation, and would rather be doing something else. It just seems weird to me for someone who says they have such a massive crush on me to not even try to talk to me more often, I don't know. Am I just overthinking it or should I mention to her that I want to try to hang out and talk more or something? Again, this is my first time doing something like this, so I'm probably just freaking out over nothing, but I'd really like some sort of advice.
---------------

TL;DR--She says she's had a massive crush on me since she's met me, but even after we've both said we like each other and have established some things, she still doesn't seem to try to initiate any sort of conversation.
