 At 16 there is no reason that a two year age gap should make a difference. It may seem a big age gap but its not that bad.
I think you shouldn't give up hope yet! good luck!

 Well I suppose at 16 a 2 year age gap is massive.
However, I have been married to my husband for 14 years and he is 3 years younger than me.
There are many relationships that work where the age gap is greater still Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher for example.
At your age there is absoilutely no reason why a two year age gap should make any difference whatsoever. It may seem a big age gap but the passing of a year at your age seems to take ages (yes I can just about remember).
I don;t see any reason why you shouldn't remain VERY close friends over the next couple of years and go on to have the perfect relationship.
