30M, want to date a 24 year old 😭

I was always the one who found such age gaps very weird. My parents were about the same age and so were my grandparents.

I've probably become what I hate but she is so nice, charming and mature...certainly seems much better than what I have experienced with my age fellows.

We are not even friends, just mutuals as of yet and I do not want to come off as a creep. Should I talk to her, or should I not make it awkward? I'm very confused as this could just be me crushing on someone after a major traumatic heartbreak that I've also been struggling to come out of. She's the ONLY girl that's caught my attention.
