Struggling to read the situation

Ok, will lay the facts out on the line for you to decide where I am, and what I should do.

How I met her:

We play a mixed sport together, and started talking at a party, got on really well.

Why I think she's interested:
Takes a significant interest in personal things about me, she was discussing doing dancing lessons with someone, he offered, she said no, I offered, after initial disbelief, said yes.
During the first (and only so far) lesson, responded really well to me taking the lead, went for a drink afterwards (i asked), talked for hours, asked her out to the cinema, said yes. Emphasised she really enjoyed the evening.

She's a masters student, in the final few months of her course and her thesis just got blown out the water, cue burning the midnight oil on getting a new one done, stress, was out with her girl mates (she told me who) recently, and picked up a cold, so when i asked her about seeing the film, got those reasons to postpone.

I've no reason to doubt her, but the insecure side of me sees it as a polite brush off, but that doesn't stack up against the opening side of my story. I'm optimistic, so would appreciate some impartial viewpoints here. Mutual friends are positive, but

Any insight on what people think where i stand, and what to do next, would be appreciated.

It's easy to advise when it comes to others, but as soon as its someone i care about, that goes out the window. She likes to be taken control of, but i dont want to come across as needy.

Answers on a gratefully received postcard.
