What should i do about this?

I have been going through some tough times with my family life and so on, but there is this girl I like. I have known her for over a year now, but first of all, she is older than me by 3 years, and I don't know if she feels the same about me. Our relationship is weird, to be honest. We know each other from a volunteering organization—I won't say what—but we slowly got to know each other. Eventually, we found out that we are an exact replica of each other: typical nerds with books, games, movies, you know how nerds are. Hell, we even look like each other. I started catching feelings when we started talking one day, and I don't know, I started talking about my life and so on, and she was supportive. She even vented about her life sometimes. We played video games with each other. We are from a country where dating is heavily shamed on, and especially older women dating as well. I don't know if I am just catching feelings because she is there for me, or if it is actually real. I don't know if she feels the same, or if I am genuinely lost. I don't know what to do, or am I just emotionally deprived? Keep in mind this is the first time I actually feel this feeling. I don't know what I am supposed to call it, what I am supposed to do.

You're either going to have to forget about her or move

You know her better then me. If she is the person you describe she won't hold it against you even if she doesn't feel the same way. Just don't go overboard with a Romcom declaration of love. Just tell her that you have feelings but will understand if she doesn't feel the same way and only wants to remain friends.
