Is it weird for a hs senior (f17) to be into or date a hs sophomore (m15/16)?

There’s this guy that I’m kind of crushing on and I think he might be too, but I’m not sure how weird it would be to be together. I’m a younger senior as I just turned 17 and I don’t know which year was born in. Last year, I dated someone two years younger that me and it did not go well. Everyone called me a cougar and a predator (sometimes joking, sometimes not) but it felt very hard for me. This new guy is my type and very funny and smart, and I haven’t blushed like this in a long time (maybe even before the guy I dated last year). We’re in many classes together and we see each other a lot more now, but would it be weird to have feelings for him or want to date him?
