<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Hello guys and girls!

So I hate typing this all out, makes me feel like a newb and this is probably the most discussed topic ever, but I will, and hopefully you guys will give me some insight on future girls/ dates.

So i'm a 19y/old dude, came out of a 2 year relationship about 8 months ago, and i've been focusing on myself alot more in the past few months. I've been going to the gym, started earning my own money, and getting a car I share with my mother.

Recently I've been going out alot more. Meeting some new people, yada yada.

Anyways, here's my question/trouble.

So I met this girl. Single, my style. No need to go on details.
So I got her number and all that, we've been chatting for a few days, friday we went out with the group of friends, it was great fun.

After I drove her home (I gave her a ride and my other two friends) i messaged her a bit later saying she was very nice and I had a great time. She reciprocated and we went off to bed.

Now I may have not have the slighest clue, but i'd really like to know if she's interested in me.

She's always really friendly and sweet with the texts, and we keep conversation for a long time, but she does take a long time to respond. We were chatting yesterday, and she eventually passed out, and I'm sitting here waiting for her to respond, and i don't want to spam her with stuff, I'm not that bad.

Is this just a thing girls do, keep the guy waiting, or just plain "I don't really care"?

And I don't really know her for too long... when is it the right time to ask her out for a ice-cream on the beach?!

HELP THIS LAME NOOB GUYS REDDIT!
<bot>: Not the best in terms of dating, looking for insight on what to do to take the next step without it being too soon/not f*cking it up and make a fool out of myself.
