dating in highschool

I’m a high schooler, junior year, 16. I’m not really attracted to any of the girls in my grade, they’re all just so bland, style and personality. However, a lot of the freshman girls who are usually 14-15 have the style and personality I really like… I know for 16 it’s okay to date a 15 year old girl, but how far bordering is it for 14? I feel like it’s too much of an age gap if they just turned 14, since the time in life is pretty different, but I keep seeing these freshman girls and getting butterflies in my stomach (Jesus that sounds so fucking creepy 😭😭😭)
