My friend readily accepts invitations to hang out but never reaches out on her own. Should I back off?

I (21F) have been acquaintances/friends with a colleague from another dept (~40F) for half a year now. I feel we get along well and I look up to her.

Thing is, I have initiated all of our hangouts and conversations, and she's messaged me first like... maybe twice. However, she always says yes when I invite her, and when we do hang out, we have a great time and she texts me after to say she enjoyed herself.

I have no problems making plans. I love making plans. But my concern is that she's saying yes to be nice and I obviously don't want to be a bother if she's not actually having a good time!

For reference, I only extend an invite when it's convenient for her and I always give an out.

Is this normal and am I overthinking this? Someone put me out of my misery.
