I got a crush on you

I have a crush on you = I have got a crush on you.

I have learned that they mean the same and it means "I like you". And then can I also say, "I got a crush on you' for the same meaning of the two sentences or it refers to a past feeling like I liked you or should it be "I had a crush on you"?

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

This native speaker, a teacher, did not not realise for at least a year after joining that you were not a native speaker.

Your response is, as ever, correct, though 'illiterate' is perhaps a little strong. I got for I've got is certainly not standard Enfgis
