Well first of all, whatever you feel, no matter how different is normal for you, you shouldn't worry what everyone else is doing.
That being said, generally across society girls tend to date up, while guys tend to date down, this is for a variety of reasons, firstly, the same level of maturity is important in a relationship due to where you both are in your personal growth and what you want out of a relationship, so a 15 year old girl is just getting used to it all, while a 19 year old girl might be looking for a potential long term partner.
Of course this cannot be pinpointed at one specific age (And why its hard to create an arbitrary law for age of consent, How do you choose an age where everyone is ready?) and for example you seem to be a lot more mature than average guys of your age, and while I have always said that girls tend to be two years older emotionally than guys of the same age there is exceptions.
I think, that you shouldn't worry about the age, of whoever you fall for, unless it causes legal problems, because theres plenty of girls of varying maturity of varying age.
And lol as for me personally I prefer younger girls for two reasons; firstly emotionally I am quite immature for a guy, girls my age would probably get annoyed at me over time and I just don't feel on the same level. And secondly in a relationship I feel like I want to protect and look after my partner and lead the relationship instinctively, this want in a relationship would be undermined if I felt my partner was more mature than me, and more experienced. How can I lead if she knows better, how can I protect if she has more experience of the world than me?
I would feel coddled ad babied in the relationship and I probably would be unhappy.
But this should be an example how it depends on how you feel about relationships and what you want, oh and I have a sister who is two years younger than me, yeah shes getting married lol, totally feel like the younger sibling at the moment as I am still trying to master the washing machine and basic cooking. :P

To do all that one is able to do,
Is to be a man;
To do all that one would like to do,
Is to be a god.
