Age difference help

[Tesserax]

So my school Concert Band went on a trip overseas to singapore, including myself. Over there the main point was not just to perform, but also to get to know each other which we did quite well.

While over there, I met a couple of people whose names I didn't even know, and one of them is a girl I'll call A. I think she's 14, in year 9 and I'm in year 11. As we got to know each other, we discovered how similar we were, which was amazing and we started to get close. Over the course of like 3 days we started telling each other who we liked, and I sort of started to realize this would end badly for me.

Being about 2 years younger than me in high-school, the age difference feels somewhat taboo, but I'm started to like her and I can't help it. I warned her about this, but I haven't told her yet, I just told her it would probably happen.

My main question with this is what are your opinions on the age difference? Is it as taboo as it feels or is it probably ok?

Thanks for taking the time to read this guys :)

Edit: She doesn't like me, I'm pretty sure because she told me who she likes at the moment

Depending on what type of relationship you two build assuming something does happen between you, then that sort of builds on how other people see your age difference. If you have that "fighting over everything" type of relationship then people will see the age gap as a taboo thing but if you have that "normal" and healthy relationship, people will completely ignore that gap and so will the both of you. But then again some people just naturally see age differences as taboo simply because of how they grew up, my girlfriend and i have the same situation as you, i am in 11th grade and she is in 9th grade but we dont feel the difference since we're so alike. People's maturity level make things seem like a taboo, but if you arent looking to find what other people think of it then you yourself should know what to do. Both of you will build the view that people have on you, your behaviour around people as a couple will be the roots of how people see your relationship, if it is healthy and something people love to see then you'll be known as the happy couple but no matter what you act like, there will always be people to make you feel like it is a taboo.

That's sort of my idea behind it as well. I'm not sure how my parents would react if anything happens and they find out. But the main reason why I'm starting to fall for her, is that apart from a few small differences, we are like the exact same person. She feels like my other half, and it feels like finding another person would be really hard. Also, when I pursue a relationship (which has never worked) I always have in mind actual love, as in caring for one another, being there to listen to one another and help each other through our problems, with sexual activity being simply a possible bonus (including kissing, oral, actual sex, etc.). Again, it just feels like we're made for each other, and she may not ever see it like that, but at least that way we'll be pretty much the best of friends for a long time. We're already planning to be drinking buddies after school and stuff, and planning on getting through our mid-life crisis with each other drinking at bars and singing Irish Drinking Songs from Whose line is it anyway. Because we're both really weird like that :)
