To the OP, the reason I took an interest in this post is that I see similarities in you in the way I behaved when I was a teen and in my early 20s. It is normal to find attraction in others, if our species didn't do that we would not evolve. But you are an adult, don't call it a crush, that is something you have as a pre teen or have for a celebrity you will never meet but like.
Just because you are attracted to her does not mean she is obligated to be attracted to you. My mistake was that I confused mere attraction with romance and stupidly thought "If I just prove to her". That is not the way it works. Don't set out to prove anything to her. Don't buy her flowers don't ask for her phone number don't give her yours. Those things come after time weeks or even months.
Keep your conversations casual and maybe next week or so, don't ask her out, but maybe tell her you are going to the local cafeteria and say you are welcome to hang out. If she says no, it may be she has plans or maybe she really isn't interested. Don't make it sound like a date.
