The question is did you really know you liked her before you found out she liked you?
If it's any way possible that knowing she liked you is what sealed the deal on how you felt towards her, then you might want to take a step back and reconsider. Like you said, the family probably doesn't want it, although genetic-wise, it's OK.
Another thing to look at is the age difference. Three years is nothing once you get to be about 21. However, she's too young to be dating you now. You're about to hit that part of your life where you're driving, going to weekend parties, and exploring new freedoms. She, on the other hand, likely has protective parents that aren't yet ready to let her out of their sight. No way are they going to let you drive her around either.
Best option is to date around, especially girls closer to your age (within one year), and if it's meant to be, you two might get together 5-10 years from now. At only 16, you've still got a lot to learn and a lot ahead of you.
