Is it normal that i like an older man

So I work at a hotel, I'm a waitress and this guy that I really like is 29 and he's a chef. I'm only 17 years old but the chef acts younger than he is, and he says I act older than I am. Every weekend after our shift we sneakily drive back to his house, we chill out and listen to music or we..you know. He tells me how similar we are and I can't help but to agree. It feels so right when I'm with him. He makes me laugh, smile, he has never made upset yet. I don't even think I would have to worry about him going off with other girls, this is how much I trust him. I don't know whether I'm being dillusional. We have been texting eachother for over 2 months now. I've been going through a lot recently, and when he hugs me I feel like all that pain is swept out of my body. Also it's not just me that see's how alike we are, staff at work mention it to us, and we just look at eachother smiling as if nothing is happening. So is this normal for me to feel this way?
