Is it normal that i think this girl might like me?

I'm an 18 year-old virgin (I know, what a shock) who recently started college. I have no experience with dating or relationships whatsoever, so if I ask a stupid question, feel free to call me out on it - I want to know the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Anyway, there's this girl who I see once a week because we're in the same club. I don't know her very well yet (I've only talked with her two or three times), but I'm already starting to like her. Again, this might sound stupid or crazy, but I think there's a chance she likes me, too. She's told me several times that I'm really funny - she even said I was the funniest guy in the room. She also teases me a lot, too - she's usually either teasing me or giving me really great compliments. When we first met, she was pretty quiet around me, but she warmed up very quickly.

The last time I bumped into her she was out with her friends and she introduced me and told me that she told her friends how funny I was and how much she enjoyed spending time with me. I was so close to asking her for her number right then and there, but I chickened out at the last second because I didn't want to embarrass myself in public.

When I write this, it definitely seems like she likes me, but in real life, it's more complicated than how I make it seem. For instance, she's hardly the only person that's told me how funny I am. I'm very self-deprecating, so believe me when I say that I get complimented on my sense of humor all the time. She just happens to compliment me much more frequently and enthusiastically than anyone else I know.

I'll admit that I'm good at speaking in front of people and acting confident in public, too, but on the inside, I'm very insecure. I think of myself as a loser covered by several layers of cool if that makes any sense. In other words, I find it hard to believe that any girl could ever be attracted to me because I know the real me, but I have to remind myself that they don't.

I honestly don't know what to do. I know I have a connection with this girl and she certainly wants to be at least friends with me, but do you guys honestly think there's any chance whatsoever that she might like me? Too soon to tell? Or am I basically friendzoned? Be honest, I don't even think being friendzoned is the end of the world - it's still better than nothing. Spoken like a true virgin, I know. Anyway, what do you think I should do? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
