so what does being a college senior make you? 23? 24? Its a tough call cuz there's a lot of taboo with the age thing. its not as acceptable to date someone 6 years younger when you're in your early twenties or younger. however, when you're in your 30's and over, people don't really seem to mind.
For you, I'd say why not. What do you have to lose? But be prepared to deal with the criticism and "if i were you's" you will definitely encounter. Just remember, there's a difference in maturity and wants at 18 compared to 24.
Age taboos never really concerned me unless we're talking pedophilia of course. Now if we could only convince fantom1 to give it up.
