[Update] I [17/F] think my dad [40/M] holds resentment towards me because I'm not his biological child.

This update is a thank you for all the wonderful advice I received. I'm sorry for not replying to anyone in my original post. I don't have any siblings, it's just me, my mom, and my dad.
On Monday morning I told my dad that I wanted to get lunch with him, like a few people suggested. He was surprised, and looked happy that I wanted to do something with him. My dad took me to the restaurant that we used to go to when I was little. It was awkward. My dad and I didn't know what to say to each other, so I talked about what I wanted to do with the rest of my spring break, and I asked him about his video games.
I gave my dad a hug afterwards when we came home, thanked him for taking me out, and told him that I loved him. My dad began crying, and he said he loved me too.
I told my dad that I thought he resented me because I wasn't his biological child. My dad admitted that it was hard for him to get over my mom's cheating, but he loved me just as he would his own child. My dad said I was the most important person in his life, and he wanted to spend more time with me but thought I wasn't interested because I hangout with my mom all the time. He also apologized for not being affectionate with me because he grew up in a family that never said they loved each other. He promised me that he would try saying that he loves me, and giving me more hugs.
I said I wanted to build a relationship with him before I went off to university because I was going to miss him. My dad said he would try to find stuff for us to do, and even though he didn't like fishing he would take me out one day. I also said that I wanted to play video games with him, and he told me he'd teach me how.
It went a lot better than I thought it would. I expected that it was going to take more time before I felt comfortable telling my dad everything that was on my mind, but I'm glad we had that talk. I'm very excited to actually start doing things with my dad, and to know that he loves me but he's just been afraid to express it.

TL;DR I had a heartwarming talk with my dad. I also gave him a hug and said I loved him. He said I was the most important person in his life, and me not being his biological kid didn't cause him any resentment. My dad and I agreed to spend more time together, and I'm looking forward to building a relationship with him.
