If you do, 5 grams 4x/day for 2-3 days tops. And you would need elevate insulin levels significantly with carbs and/or an insulinogenic protein + carbs to get the most out of it.
Otherwise, consume ~5 grams with your post-exercise whey+carbs drink and consume it every day to get yourself saturated.

It's not "feeling", research has shown it to be unnecessary though doing so can bring about muscle saturation and the ergogenic effects more rapidly. It's only effective for about 2-3 days before you start pissing a majority of it out. And you need elevate insulin substantially (with carbs or carbs + protein) to make it work optimally.

x2, the loading phase is not necessary. You will still get big as long as you follow your diet and workout routine properly..

Loading not necessary. It just leads you to max. creatine saturation faster than 1 serving a day will.

If you load you basically start noticing the effects of creatine after the first 4-5 days, if you don't load its gonna be at least 2 weeks till you notice anything, its not neccessary though.
